[ # ] ABC opts for no more eps for Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies and DSM
November 20th, 2008 under ABC

After weeks of speculation of the future of ABC's shows Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Life on Mars, The Hollywood Reporter is saying that ABC has opted not to order any additional episodes from Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. The snoozer Life on Mars got a 4 episode pickup and will follow Lost on Wednesdays. The used-to-be promising Private Practice will follow the starting-to-repeat-itself Grey's Anatomy on Thursdays. ABC will be airing NBC's cancelled Scrubs on Tuesdays at 9p with Mike Judge's The Goode Family. ABC has not announced what will replace Boston Legal, Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies when the shows finish their 13 episode orders, but whatever they decide on will not be as good as the shows they are replacing. While I am saying screw you to ABC for their decision to let Boston Legal, Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies go, my DVR is saying thank you for the 3 less hours to record every week.

In other TV news, Julianne Hough will not be back on Dancing with the Stars next season, and I will miss her on the show. A non-ABC story is The CW has decided to cut ties with MRC for the Sunday night lineup. In fact The CW will air repeats of Jericho at 7p, maybe if MRC picked up Jericho and/or Moonlight they would still be working with The CW. Just saying.

Dang even I have to admit I came off really bitter in this post, maybe because I am.

I think ABC is showing their stupidity again–the same stupidity that had them in the ratings basement all those years ago. TV needs innovative shows like Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies and DSM is just a well-written, superbly acting show that doesn’t feel like a retread of the nighttime soaps of the 80s. Instead of picking up the carcass of “Scrubs” they should nurture their own shows.

So just because they didn’t order more episodes doesn’t mean it’s canceled, right? RIGHT????? I loved all three of those shows!

No, it’s officially cancelled. At least I know Pushing Daisies is. This is crap ABC. Get your act together and stop showing things like friggin Private Practice and give smart, innovative shows a chance. Seriously, these shows got screwed cause of the writer’s strike and lack of publicity

I am bummed about Pushing Daisies. I really like that show. I am relieved about Life on Mars because I do love that one!
