Pushing Daisies On The Brink!

Variety reports that the critically-lauded, ratings-plagued Pushing Daisies may not be picked up for a full season.

As production comes to a close on its 13-episode order, ABC has still not ordered any more episodes, and the network may be mulling to only extend its options on the show's cast in an attempt to relaunch next year. Showrunner Bryan Fuller has stated that he'd consider continuing the show in a comic book format if Daisies is canceled, and has also mentioned a return to the writing staff on NBC's Heroes as a possibility (remember any of the GOOD episodes in season 1? Yeah, Fuller was on that).

Daisies has averaged only 6.6 million views, with a 2.3 rating (meaning 2.3% of all the televisions in the country were tuned in) and 5 share (meaning 5% of all TV sets that were actually in use were watching) through 5 episodes this season.

Let's hope Ned & Chuck don't go the way of George and Jay from Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls (which Lee Pace was actually in, as Jay's brother), respectively.
