ABC = Alotta Bastardy Cancellations
The brasstards over at ABC have done the apparently inevitable: they’ve cancelled Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, and Eli Stone. So we’ll be realistic about each one and give the Good News and the Bad News for each decision.
Pushing Daisies
- Good News – Creator/writer Bryan Fuller will likely return to NBC’s Heroes to save their asses. Also, they might do a theatrical version to wrap up the show’s loose ends. Then there’s always the possibility of Fuller creating a new Star Trek show…
- Bad News – The show was hitting a solid stride in terms of creativity and clarity (the season’s first few episodes were a little bit all over the place), so it’s sad to see that it didn’t find an audience. It also doesn’t help that it was bumped for two weeks. But the worst news is the final episode to air is a cliff-hanger. Let’s hope for that movie!
Dirty Sexy Money
- Good News – Blair Underwood at least was recognized by People Magazine as one of the Sexiest Men Alive before his show died? One less Baldwin (William) and Sutherland (Donald) on TV?
- Bad News – None of these actors may get another job any time soon? Seriously, they dug up an interesting cast for this show. And it’s not to curse them – it’s just… whatever.
Eli Stone
- Good News – No more weekly chance of George Michael singing on TV. Also, producer/writer Greg Berlanti can have more focus when he’s working on 2010’s Green Lantern. (To note: Berlanti also produced Dirty Sexy Money. Talk about bad luck.)
- Bad News – No more weekly chance of seeing Julie Gonzalo on TV.
Asta la vista, Julie
