Pushing Daisies: Year-End Episode Ratings

by LiRa

In my excitement over the nominations and recognitions from previous days, I forgot to include how the year-end finale of Pushing Daisies has fared in the ratings. So below is the result for Corpsicle:

normal_corpsicle00039.jpg1. “CSI: NY” (CBS) 14.25m
2. “Criminal Minds” (CBS) 14.17m
3. “Deal or No Deal” (8-10) (NBC) 13.17m
4. “Dateline” (NBC) 8.73m
5. “Kid Nation” (Season Finale) (CBS) 7.45m
6. “Pushing Daisies” (ABC) 6.85m
7. “Kitchen Nightmares” (Season Finale) (FOX) 6.12m
8. “America’s Next Top Model” (Season Finale) (CW) 5.49m
9. “Private Practice” (Rerun) (ABC) 4.98m
10. “Back to You” (Rerun) (FOX) 4.25m
11. “Til Death” (Rerun) (FOX) 4.18m
12. “Dirty Sexy Money” (Rerun) (ABC) 3.77m
13. “Crowned: The Mother of All Beauty Contests” (Season Premiere) (CW) 2.46m

It’s the lowest rated episode to date. Have viewers been doing their Christmas shopping that night? Those are surprisingly low numbers, not even just for Pushing Daisies. It did not help that it was the only show with a fresh episode for that night on ABC (Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money were on reruns).


To break this down further, Pushing Daisies lost viewers in the second half (so some of you did not see the big reveal at the end?) but has maintained its standing among its key demographics.

About Pushing Daisies

As its teasers say, Pushing Daisies is "nothing like you've seen on television". Besides being visually stimulating and audibly captivating, the story behind this whimsical TV series from ABC, is one that seems to jump out pages of a fairy tale. Created by Bryan Fuller, Pushing Daisies is hailed by critics as a commendable risk that may actually pay off. It has romance, tragedy, comedy, mystery and of course, lest we forget, pies…lots and lots of it.
