What shows will Pushing Daisies be up against next season?

by LiRa

pushingdaisies When Pushing Daisies returns next season, it will still air on the same day and time as before — Wednesdays at 8:00 PM. What shows is it going up against? What are its chances of winning more viewers over? Let’s take a look at Wednesday nights of the coming fall season:

The CW WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM
America’s Next Top Model (Returning Series)

America’s Next Top Model is running on its 11th Season. Viewers must be tired of the formula by now. However, the show is does infuse a few gimmicks here and there; some gimmicks are just for shock value, enough to keep the buzz afloat. But unless Tyra strips naked on the show itself…I don’t think Top Model will pose a big competition for Pushing Daisies throughout the season. Besides, viewers of Top Model is composed of a certain demographics only.

CBS WEDNESDAY
8:00-8:30 PM The New Adventures of Old Christine (Returning Series)
8:30-9:00 PM Project Gary (New Series)

Comedy’s on Wednesday nights? It usually doesn’t always work out, does it? But Old Christine is a heavy favorite and going on its fourth season this fall, the show has established a long following. Project Gary may take away a few viewers out of curiosity. But since it’s a freshman series, only time will tell if this one earns decent ratings and becomes a threat to Pushing Daisies.

FOX WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM
Bones (Returning Series)

I submit to the fact that Bones is big competition. I know that it has a small but very loyal fan base and as a TV series, Bones is actually well crafted but very much underrated. It can potentially be the one Pushing Daisies needs to beat. Bones also has the advantage of starting earlier than Pushing Daisies.

NBC WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM
Knight Rider (New Series)

Despite not being liked by most critics when its TV movie premiered last season, Knight Rider did manage to get 10Million in the ratings then. The cast and crew are currently working on making the show better as changes are integrated, in preparation for its big return in September. So, this is another big competition for Pushing Daisies.

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.
