ABC
has decided against ordering more episodes of Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, and Dirty Sexy Money, at least for now, writes The Hollywood Reporter. The story continues:
Actively avoiding the c-word, the network left the door open for ordering more episodes at a future date, though that is considered improbable. The trio are still on the schedule for next week.
The Fall of 2007 came in with great fanfare in the TV world, only to be squashed just weeks later by the
writers' strike. For this Fall, some networks focused on "relaunching" those shows cut short because of the strike:
Chuck and
Life on NBC, and
Pushing Daisies,
Private Practice, and
Dirty Sexy Money on ABC. (Though it's now in its third season,
Heroes probably falls into this category, too.)
The good news: Many of those shows might not have gotten renewed without the writers' strike.
The last episode of ABC's
Dirty Sexy Money aired so long ago, it had a Nutcracker theme. The show — like its counterparts in ABC's Wednesday night lineup,
Pushing Daisies and
Private Practice — went off the air during the
writers' strike and never returned. This week, Dirty Sexy Money is back, amid a bunch of promises from the producers that this year's show will be "dirtier," "sexier," and — you got it — "monier."
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to my selections below, you can also add
Speed Racer,
Made of Honor and a little independent film starring Kate Beckinsale called
Snow Angels to your lists.
Between
Katie Holmes,
Katherine Heigl, and that
hilarious Scrubs panel, ABC's session at the
TCA press tour has already been action-packed. And it's only getting nuttier today, when Shonda Rhimes, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and the ladies of
Desperate Housewives take the stage. Before we get to that, here are some great stories I didn't get to share on Wednesday:
- One of the reasons I'm looking forward to the Private Practice panel: The show is apparently going to go through something of an overhaul.
