ABC is scheduling some serious appointment television on Saturday nights this summer.
An Alphabet insider confirms that the final episodes of Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money will be burned off on consecutive Saturdays at 10 pm/ET beginning May 30 and ending Aug. 8.
Here’s the specific breakdown per show:
* Daisies‘ final three episodes will air May 30 to June 13
* Eli Stone‘s final four episodes will air June 20 to July 11
* Dirty Sexy Money‘s final four episodes will air July 18 to Aug 8.
Better late than never, right?
though this was reported by your frenemy what seems like forever ago, thanks for the info. i’m so glad that PD is finally getting aired, though i’m sure with zero promotion. and saturday night? that’s cold. still, can’t complain i suppose….
Hallelujah! At least we will get to see some closure for these much-beloved shows that were cancelled too soon. Not that I wouldn’t be buying Daisies on DVD anyway, but it’s the principle of the thing.
Thank god ! I was beginning to think they would never air them
… but they’re not ‘wrap up’ episodes, are they? They’re just burning what was already shot when they got cancelled. Still, it will be great to see them (well, Daisies anyway, not a fan of the other shows)
Yay! I was keeping PD and ES on my DVR timers praying this would happen!!!
This was reported by The Futon Critic last weekend and your frenemy this week.
Your late Ausiello.
I’m so glad we’ll finally be able to see what happened on Eli Stone!
WooHoo! Yippee! Hooray!
I was afraid ABC would just forget that they “promised” to air them at some point. Although I can’t give up my grudge completely for pulling the plug on some unique and quality television in favor, this goes a long way toward redemption.
I don’t go anywhere on Sat. night anymore, so it work for me.
Waaaa Hoooo!! I am so excited! I can’t wait to see the stories wrap up a bit.
Why do people keep complaining about Ausiello being the last to report things? He’s not claiming to have heard these things first… He still has a constituency to look after, and he HAS to assume they don’t get their news anywhere else. If he didn’t report this, he’d be a fool. And possibly, maybe Ausiello isn’t about stealing scoop from his frenemies… Maybe he respects their exclusives, and gives them a grace period before he reports it… It’s only fair, I think…
As for the news, I’m happy. I knew I’d get to see Pushing Daisies final eps on DVD, but I had assumed the worst for Dirty Sexy Money. Does anyone know if they wrap up the dead father mystery? That’d be nice to know…
Yes! I love, love, love Pushing Daisies. It sucks they cancelled the show, but at least we get to see the remaining episodes.
yes!! i can not wait to see what happens on pushing daisies and dirty sexy money! just talking about these two effing amazing shows makes me sad all over again. damn abc!
Glad they finally did the honorable thing in deciding to air the remaining episodes–loved DSM and Eli. All of these cancellations have me afraid to give new shows a try…Harper’s Island looks like a good murder mystery on CBS, but I’m afraid if it doesn’t do well they will cancel it like everything else. I got burned by that Reunion show a few years ago and I’m still mad they never aired those eps or revealed who killed the classmate…
Its about time! This is great news. Hooray.
