Another great show on borrowed time?

One of the very best hours on television, Pushing Daisies, is down in the ratings this season. It's down so far that rumors of cancellation are moving through the tubes of the internets at an alarming speed. Unfortunately, it appears that the 13th episode of this season could be the last.

The current rumor being spread is that Daisies producers were told by ABC to treat episode 13 as a series finale, which some fans have interpreted as definitive news that the network decided to cancel the series.

Not true, say my very reliable sources. Producers have not yet been told whether they will receive a pickup for the remaining nine episodes of the current second season.

If this show is cancelled, I will be seriously bummed. It's a great show just filled with surprises. Storylines that I thought would play out over the entire series were nicely resolved and new intriguing mysteries have taken their place. I want to see this entire show play out as planned, not ended prematurely with an artificial series-ender.

Please ABC don't cancel Pushing Daisies!

The good news is that it was up a million viewers this week. Here's the whole story.
