ABC goes nuts, axes Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money
ABC will not be ordering any new episodes of its sophomore shows Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone, the network confirmed earlier today.
The unlucky trio chalked season lows among adults 18-49 (1.8 rating each) this week, which finally sealed their fate after several weeks of speculation and uncertainty. The cancellation will leave all three shows’ current seasons capped at 13 episodes.
Eli Stone, the series that received an order for four additional scripts only last month, has eight episodes left to air, while Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money have seven each. All three shows are expected to finish their runs in January.
The show that will very likely survive beyond January is ABC’s new cop drama Life on Mars. The network has ordered four more episodes of the show and given Mars a friendly Wednesday slot after Lost starting January 28.
Life on Mars has averaged a 2.9 rating among adults 18-49 in its past two airings, its best numbers since its October 9 premiere (3.8 rating).
