Woe is ABC. The network’s block of hourlong dramas — 8 p.m.’s Pushing Daisies, 9 p.m.’s Private Practice (pictured: Kate Walsh), and 10 p.m. Read the full post.

    I have to say, I gave Pushing Daisies a chance and it just was too “cutesy” and the like for me. I respect everyone who loves it and hope for your sake it isn’t canceled, but I can understand why it isn’t a mainstream hit. I think it might have done better on USA, with its “characters welcome” philosophy and lower ratings expectations.
    Good luck to all of you who watch it. I know how awful it is to adore a quality show but have to constantly worry about when the axe will drop because of poor ratings. (R.I.P. Sports Night, Karen Sisco, etc.)

    ABC don’t you darn change anything about your Wednesday night lineup after 9pm. I waited too much time for PP & DSM

    if nothing else, I like DSM and want to see more of it. Problem is, it isnt as promoted and whored out like the other ABC shows, although it’s easily one of the network’s best.

    I love “Pushing Daisies” & “Dirty Sexy Money.” I hope ABC doesn’t cancel them.

    Pushing Daisies is the only show I’m watching these days… If it gets cancelled, I will take my Arrested Development DVDs, season 1 and downloaded episodes of season 2 of Pushing Daisies and forsake network television altogether.
    Why can’t there be quality storytelling on TV anymore? Is America so dull?

    OK ABC I am getting ready to throw my TV out the window. EVERY TIME, and I mean EVERY TIME you put on a show I love, you jerk it around, give it bad time slots, then cancel it. Pushing Daisies is absolutely the BEST show on television. It is original, well acted, amazingly art directed, well written and a sheer joy to behold. Give it a chance to get its viewership back up. The airwaves DO NOT need another gory crime drama or insipid doctor show. Keep something on the air for grown-up, educated people to watch–especially since we will be the only ones with money to spend in the current recession. Perhaps your darling 18-yr-old demographic won’t be so desirable in the near future.

    I totally agree. I wonder if they take into consideration the number of views that the show gets online at abc.com…If Pushing Daisies didn’t have such a sucky time slot, I would so be planted on the couch watching it. Alas…if they cancel it, I’m swearing off ABC forever.
