Pushing Daisies

ABC Network has announced its new season line-up for 2008 - 2009 and for Pushing Daisies….the program remains on its original day and time slot. In fact, everything looks pretty much the same. The network has been doing so well in their primetime line-ups and that’s maybe why they see no reason to change it.

Says the ABC head, “We’re returning our dominant core group of shows. The few openings we had we’ve filled with the kind of quality programming viewers have come to expect from ABC, and we have a very strong bench.”
