Pushing Daisies: Done for the Season?
Dang it. 
Did you happen to swing by this site today? So, you’ve read the news? Might disappointed, huh? It wasn’t what I was expecting, what with all the positive rumors going around about the strike. Accordingly, Bryan Fuller feels they won’t be able to have enough time to do follow up episodes for the abruptly interrupted Season 1, even if the strike is going to be resolved.
As lifted on the E! Site:
What’s more, I’m hearing from a few show-runner types that it may already be (hope you’re sitting down for this) too late for some series to put together more episodes for the current season, including one particular show we fans adore: Pushing Daisies.
“Lots of talk has been going down this past week,” Daisies boss Bryan Fuller told me earlier today. “Essentially, even if the strike is resolved in the next week or two, we wouldn’t be back until next season. There was a preliminary conversation that involved a plan to hit the ground running and try to get episodes on the air as soon as possible, but it no longer seems like that’s going to happen. It seems most likely that we will have a very short first season and then come back in the fall for a proper season two.” | Watch With Kristin
So, that means, this is it? We’ve got Season 1 covered? And we’ll have at least 8 months till we see a new episode? Include the past two months we’ve also been sitting, waiting for news about the strike — now, that’s a really, really long wait.
