I'm going to try my hardest to enjoy the Daisies we have left, even though its going to be difficult knowing that the end is coming.

Hey there TOASTERslayer. Kinda empty in here, ain't it?
I've never even heard of this show by DonnyUnitas	Nov 19th, 2008 02:41:23 PM
Perhaps if ABC wants shows to be successful, they could actually try to promote it from now on.
Poor Daises by Subtlety	Nov 19th, 2008 02:43:21 PM
Too unique for its own good, I guess. Wasn't always a home run but it really deserved to find its niche. Hope its gets one more chance to at least wrap up the series, if not go on. I think the show still has tons of life in it if the right people discover it (I only did very recently).
We must do alkl we can to save this show by erichaislar	Nov 19th, 2008 02:54:13 PM
In daisies we trust.
agreed by sfgeek	Nov 19th, 2008 02:58:17 PM
one of the best on television right now... me sad... at its eventual demise.
Where do we mail... by lovek	Nov 19th, 2008 03:00:37 PM
... the pies?
Dear ABC : You suck. by Squashua	Nov 19th, 2008 03:32:39 PM
Unless you buy a next full season of this show.
Fred Willard by Aloy	Nov 19th, 2008 03:35:08 PM
I don't know how he does it (especially at his age) but the old dude always brings his patented low key A game to a guest appearance. All respect to you sir.
Thank Herc by StuckInthePresentPaused	Nov 19th, 2008 03:37:18 PM
we need this up get some attention see if some people will tune in tonight. Daisies has to get around 6.5 mil viewers tonight and over a 2.1 in the demo to have any hope of a back 9 or being renewed at all. And, it definitely has to do better than ELi Stone and Dirty Sexy Money

Somebody suggest sending bee hives to ABC by br1947	Nov 19th, 2008 05:21:34 PM
I heartily agree, bee hives would get noticed. Fuck ABC, I ain't sending them free pies, they get BEES!!!
Its Fred Willard week!! by skimn	Nov 19th, 2008 05:36:30 PM
I heard he was on that CBS Worst Week series, I just saw him on WallE, and now this! I remember when he was the sidekick to Martin Mull. Whatever happened to him, besides commercial voice over work for food wrap?
TWINS! yes by buffywrestling	Nov 19th, 2008 07:12:08 PM

Was that a clip from "Look Who's Talking"?
Stephen Root gives good menace. by buffywrestling	Nov 19th, 2008 07:22:40 PM

Didn't expect that... by buffywrestling	Nov 19th, 2008 07:31:58 PM
I was sort of looking forward to his Pompeii impression...
I don't get it... by Larry of Arabia	Nov 19th, 2008 08:00:46 PM
Why can't the general public get behind a romantic pink goth fantasy that features a man regurgitating a live kitten?
I dunno Larry... by br1947	Nov 19th, 2008 08:14:39 PM
One would think a show that features a couple of dozen dead clown bodies (some complete with stilts) being pulled out of a VW bug that was fished out of a lake would just resonate with the average guy. I can't tell you how many times I've gone by my local Dim Sum shack and played a hand or two of poker with some kung pow chicken
Best Show on Television by mithrandir16	Nov 19th, 2008 09:47:20 PM
I really hope they keep Pushing Daisies. It is consisitantly clever, funny, touching, and plain old genius.
I Just Watched The Mask Magician Followed By Daisies by Red Dawn Don	Nov 19th, 2008 10:06:52 PM
I Just Watched This weeks Mask Magician: Magic Revealed (I Had Burned It On DVD) Followed By Daisies. I kept trying to figure out the "Cementia" trick worked. It was magnets in the shoe. I finally looked up Herrrmans assistant. Turns out she is that RENO 911 chick.
I hope Steven Root becomes a regular! by JackIsLost	Nov 19th, 2008 10:12:50 PM
Which I knows sound ridiculous, because this show is "doomed". But still, I really love Root, he is one of our great character actors. I really hope DAISIES is spared the axe and gets saved. If ABC has a little faith, I truly believe ratings can improve and DVD sales can make it a profitable venture. God knows the fanbase (small as it may be) is devoted in its love for this outstanding, deliriously delectable slice of heaven.
Consistently great. by billypilgrimisunstuck	Nov 19th, 2008 11:21:56 PM
This will never grow stale to me. I intensely love it. KEEP IT ABC. KEEP THE DAMN FUCKING SHOW. Here's your Spring Wednesday schedule: Daisies, Lost, Mars. DO IT.
Marie Callender's .. and ABC..take note. by gotilk	Nov 19th, 2008 11:57:13 PM
I will not eat another pie in my entire life until this show gets at least another season. And I like pie. Especially Banana cream. Ooh, this is gonna be hard.
Bummer. by TOASTERslayer	Nov 20th, 2008 01:33:35 AM
Amen My Mom Is a Whore (never thought I'd say that). Apparently only a few of us are enjoying this show. The talkback traffic is completely mirroring its ratings. I thought AICN frequenters were better than that...
It's a pity by The McPoyle Clan	Nov 20th, 2008 05:42:47 AM
that a rich, original and well-made show like this can't gain an audience. Instead, people flock toward even shittier remakes of shitty old popcorn shows or reality shows.
shiiiiiiiitt by palewook	Nov 20th, 2008 08:28:38 AM
argh. damn you abc. first show on regular tv i've been bitten by since firefly. and its probably not getting a full second season. why can't they see the possibility in making 13 episodes a year just to rake in the dvd sales. meh put some more reality tv on while i turn off regular tv again. PD is the only reg tv show I have to watch every week.
Does Ned's Dad have any ability? by _Maltheus_	Nov 20th, 2008 09:30:10 AM
...and is it tied to the reason he keeps leaving his family? Also, Stephen Root is great in everything.
Series-low rating last night: 3.4/6 share by Pennsy	Nov 20th, 2008 10:24:03 AM
Sorry, guys. That's from Mediaweek.com just in the last hour or so. The strike that keeps on giving - giving out hurt, that is - does in another show.
Pennsy by TOASTERslayer	Nov 20th, 2008 10:32:55 AM
Thanks for the (extremely bad) news. I'm not really surprised though. Thats what happens when an already struggling show gets put on the shelf for two weeks during sweeps.
What about the DVR-inclusive ratings? by Psynapse	Nov 20th, 2008 12:00:14 PM
It'll be a couple of weeks before the ratings tally is accurate. Don't lose hope, people!
and the last petal is plucked by StuckInthePresentPaused	Nov 20th, 2008 02:09:00 PM
hopefully one day there will be a DTV movie to wrap up the story. damn shame it didn't catch on with the masses but it happens all too often.

I don't think it is accurate by buffywrestling	Nov 20th, 2008 05:24:22 PM
or fair to make the number of posts in talkback as any indicator of ratings. Why just the past few Pushing Daisies TBs were pretty busy and the majority had the same concern of the show being cancelled. Perhaps, it is just as Herc and L-Prime suggests that people are distancing themselves already from the bad news (I however, am a sucker for punishment). Speaking of punishing me, ABC is fucking killing me. I reading the overnights & the comments this morning - basically talking about the unofficial "official" cancellation of PD - when ABC spins out a press release on how Pushing Daisies beat Knight Rider for the first time, blah, blah, blah, thought I was out/pull me back in cakes. sigh Anyway, it was suggested that they are going to air the remaining 13 episodes but appartently ABC doesn't announce cancellations in a press release, so PD will probably just air the remainder and disappear.
Not Best of the Series Run by lagomorph	Nov 20th, 2008 05:40:54 PM
Not even best of the season. That distinction goes to the Nunnery episode. Still stellar in every way but I don't know if people are just anxious about its imminent cancellation cause the hyperbole gun has been drawn a lot this week. This episode did however feature Chuck's most ridiculous hat and/or dress (whatever that gothic feather thing on her head was)
In that spirit... by buffywrestling	Nov 20th, 2008 05:48:50 PM
some of the things I loved about last night's ep: Emerson & Olive's short hand communication. It's not even one word anymore, he just growls at her. The Twins and their metal detectors, running after a supposed murderer - they could eventually become a couple of real life Venture Brothers; small seedlings are present but not formed. "So you like comic books and action figures?" / "Not that kind of geek.". Ned Kickin Ass. Chuck's feathered hoodie. The entire last scene with Ned & Chuck in the car - so sweet that Ned, coming to terms with some of his own parental anxieties, wanted to reciprocate those feelings for Chuck as well. And just as a general observation, I love how, not just clever, but smart the four main characters are written. It really smacked my face last night when Ned cautioned the foolish, rushing twins and when Olive, when she found out Ned & Olive didn't have a gun, went with Emerson (plus she wants to lick his bald head, of course). This move of Olive's was even undercored later on in the episode when she made the meta comment, "I can't believe they left me alone with a dead body." Even Olive knows she's not that stupid!
I thought I made such a nice post too shrug by buffywrestling	Nov 20th, 2008 06:58:45 PM
