If so, damn.
I don’t watch new series much and, when I do, I can’t think of the last one I watched on Network TV…
But I love Pushing Up Daisies quirkiness and the actors. Of course, and I said it at the time, this means it will be cancelled.

Yes, it’s been cancelled. Sucks, doesn’t it?
However, there are three unaired episodes that ABC may show in the future.

Is that official or is it just in the limbo of unaired episodes and no order for new shows?
BTW: It is Pushing Daisies.
Damn:
[QUOTE=wiki]
The second season premiered on October 1, 2008. As ratings declined, ABC opted not to order additional episodes beyond the second season’s initial thirteen.[5] By November 20, 2008, Fuller had confirmed that ABC had cancelled Pushing Daisies, though he also mentioned the possibility of wrapping up storylines in a comic book series or a movie.[6]
The last scheduled episode of Pushing Daisies aired on December 17, 2008, while three episodes remain unaired. ABC will reportedly air them in the summer of 2009.[7] According to Chenoweth, these episodes will not provide a narrative conclusion to the series.

I agree; unfortunately [this article](http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09017/942366-67.stm?cmpid=generalae.xml) that I just found doesn’t sound too promising.
Dammit, I don’t want to wait for the DVD release to see those episodes!
ETA: I was agreeing with **jayjay** ’s post. **What Exit?** , I don’t know the answer to your question.

If they don’t air those last 3 eps sometime before the freaking MIDDLE OF THE YEAR I’m done with ABC. I’m not terribly enamored with _Ugly Betty_ anymore (despite what looked like a recovery from the disastrous 2nd season), though I’m still watching, but _UB_ and _PD_ were the only ABC shows I watched in the first place. Now there is no more _PD_ and I’m drifting away from _UB_.
Stupid network.

**What Exit?** , looks like you found the answer!

I’d heard that the producer was reshooting some scenes so as to provide closure.
I also heard, via an industry e-zine, that the final episodes may not be aired…but shown online.
ABC are a bunch of rat bastards.

There are still unaired episodes of **Dirty Sexy Money** too, aren’t there? ABC is really ticking me off.
