ABC announced cancellations. Let the gnashing on my flist of whimsy-addicts begin. I am sure there will be web petitions in no time.

where's the list?
(although i can assume that from your whimsy reference that i can kiss daisies goodbye)

Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone all got cancelled.

sadness :(
i enjoy DSM, but i love eli stone. nearly as much as i adore pushing daisies.

DSM is the only one of these that I watch, and while I'll miss it, I won't miss it very much. It was fun in an over-the-top way, but it was over-the-top all the time, and even those characters I thought I might be able to like quickly became unlikeable.

I was already gnashing in anticipation.

Note: that was gnashing behalf of PD ... in my equation

ES = AB - (anything that made AB tolerable)

where AB = Ally McBeal

People still watch network television?

I don't know what channel the things I watch are on, they just magically appear on my TiVo.

Seriously, though, from the "big four" we watch House (for the snarkiness) and Desperate Housewives (for the soap opera). Brian also has a whole bunch of really awful things that he likes to watch, because he has no taste. (Smallville, Supernatural, Gossip Girl, Greek, etc.)

Oh, we still watch The Simpsons too, but I really can't figure out why. It's entertaining, but if it were a new show with the current writing I would ignore it.

You can get a couble dose of soap opera if you follow up Desperate Housewives with Brothers & Sisters.

I'll miss Daisies -- do you get it there and are you a fan? I wonder/(hope) if they wrote this season's last episode without too many loose ends (much less a cliffhanger), and maybe even a bit of "happily ever after" closure.

I was just reading that the last episode is already done - and it was a cliffhanger. :(

But they want to continue the story in comic book format (like Buffy). Not sure who I feel about that...half the joy of the show is that phenomenal cast!

...and the costumes, and the art direction, and the full-through music, and Jim Dale's narration, and all the camera tricks....

At least we'll have whatever episodes were finished on the eventual DVDs. Although if ABC has some ownership in those, I wouldn't be surprised if they cancel broadcasts of some of the episodes to goose DVD sales.

I haven't watched TV in a while unless it was Tuesday night in LA.

Pushing Daisies was always too expensive for cable, sadly. I guess I'll have to get my Chenoweth fix by listening to Wicked over and over and over and over at my desk at work.
