    Not surprised but it's still a shame.  These are all good shows.  And ironically, I no longer watch any of them, so I guess that's part of the problem.

     I liked all three when they began.  Pushing Daisies became too much of the same once the novelty wore off - Dirty Sexy Money was up against something else I liked and when Eli Stone went on hiatus I just never went back. 

    Now Life, who was in the same boat, that show I went back too and it's don't miss TV for me.

    I tried to watch this Pushing Daisies show for the first time this week. I wasn't feeling it. Maybe choose a bad episode but it was really hard to follow.

ABC Cancels 'Pushing Daisies,' 'Dirty Sexy Money' and 'Eli Stone'
BuddyTV — ... has stated that the tales of Ned and Chuck and Emerson would not end even if the series were canceled. A comic book is a possibility, perhaps even a film, though that is doubtful. Perhaps, in a few months, the ABC offices will find a Pie-Maker of their own, and life will be given back to Pushing Daisies . I advise against such optimism in this case, however, because it is a monumental long shot. Regardless, it was good while it lasted. -Oscar Dahl, BuddyTV Senior Writer Source: The Hollywood Reporter (Image Courtesy of ABC)

Clique Clack TV — ... came back this season, it came back strong. Really strong. It looks like the viewers and the network don’t care, since beyond the 13 episodes that have already been shot, no more will be ordered. Sounds like a cancellation to me.
