Breaking News: Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone Cancelled!!!!

While ABC has not made an official statement yet, several sources are confirming that ABC has pulled the plug on its two sophomore Fantasy series Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone. Both series have experienced slumping ratings this season and rumors of cancellation have been rampant for the past month. According to Daisies creator Brian Fuller, ABC President Steve McPherson pushed hard for a renewal, but parent company Disney was unwilling to greenlight additional episodes. Fuller has claimed that he is not too upset at this point over the cancellation and that he is proud of the twenty two episodes they have completed. He also plans to wrap up the storylines that will be left hanging after the cliffhanger thirteenth episode in comic books and that he is also preparing a pitch for a possible big screen continuation of the franchise. (And the good news for Heroes fans is that the cancellation will likely lead to his return to that NBC series). Pushing Daisies has seven more new episodes to air and Eli Stone has at least three more new episodes to air to complete their second season runs. (Read more on the Pushing Daisies cancellation)
