Apparently, after three episodes, the smash wonder hit of the season, Push, Nevada has been cancelled. Not too suprising, I only saw about ten minutes of one episode, and that was enough for me. But the question I have now is, what happens to that big prize money that was supposed to go to “one lucky viewer”? By now, I don’t think many people have an idea as to what the mystery was all about, much less a solution, so how does one apply to win? Can people still apply to win? Or does Fox just get to have a super happy hot dog party number one to help make up for yet another shit series they wasted their time on (like there are any other kind of series on Fox).
It is on ABC, not Fox.
In the opening credits for the previous episode, they said '“isit the website for details on how to win the prize”

Hmmmm…
They’ve aired 6 episodes so far. Tonight will be the 7th. They’re going to be putting the rest of the clues into tonight’s episode, then the final “end game” will come some time this weekend, presumably broadcast during one of ABC’s other shows. I think it will come during a nationally televised sports broadcast, in order to do away with the time zone issue.
They ARE giving away the money.
Though luck will definitely be involved in who wins the prize, it’s not so much a “one lucky viewer” type thang, as it is “one obsessed and paranoid viewer who is really good at figuring out puzzles and avoiding red herrings” type thang.
I’m the only person I know who has been consistently watching and trying to figure out the clues. There is a fairly large online community that is into it, but I’m not surprised by the cancellation. The show certainly hasn’t been a topic of conversation at work, no matter how hard I try. 
The show has actually started to get much better over the last couple of episodes. I think ABC is far to quick with the cancellations - they either run their winners into the ground (Millionaire) or they don’t give shows enough time to build an audience. What did they expect, that Push would take viewers away from CSI, with a Survivor lead-in? Push didn’t stand a chance in Hell.
The other show they cancelled, (I think it was called That was Then) was actually pretty good in a “Freaks and Geeks” sort of way.
How long can ABC live off of the Drew Carey Show? If they believe in their shows they need to give them a chance to get an audience.
In the Cheers & Jeers section of next week’s TV Guide they give them a “cheer” for going through with handing out the prize, and packing enough clues into the last three episodes to solve the mystery, so someone is going to win it.
The producers have said there are enough clues in the seven or so episodes that end up airing to give sufficient info to the location.
OMG!! This was the lamest freakin’ mystery ever. I can’t even believe I wasted my time with this.
There was no need to actually “solve” anything. They practically GAVE you the clues on the internet (and they DID give you the clues to the unaired episodes.)
Then tonight during Monday night football, Derek Cecil came on and gave the code to a cryptogram. Using the code he gave you could figure out the string of letters from the weekly clues, which translated to a phone number. By calling the phone number you were automatically entered if you were one of the first callers.
This sucked, sucked, sucked, and sucked some more. I can’t even believe I spent as much energy thinking about this crap as I did.
Grrrrrr.
