RIP Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money

I just heard that Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, and Eli Stone were cancelled: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b69940_sources_daisies_eli_stone_dirty_sexy.html

This makes me very sad, even though I expected it. Pushing Daisies was so much fun to watch every week. I enjoyed the hyperintense colors, the fairy-tale narration, the occasional musical interludes, and the wonderful cast. I wish them all continued success in the future.

And I was just getting back into Dirty Sexy Money after a rocky beginning to the season.

The most unfortunate thing is that these shows will likely end on cliffhangers, as they weren’t sure they would be cancelled. Bryan Fuller has talked about a comic book or movie adaptation of PD, but it remains to be seen whether these ideas will come to fruition.
