IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
If you're a fan of the show, Pushing Daisies, (or even if you're just a fan of the people involved in the project!) I encourage you to sign this petition in an attempt to persuade ABC not to cancel what I (and about 30,000+ other individuals) consider to be one of the best shows on television.

Save ABC's Pushing Daisies Petition


And since I am not averse to bribing: if you sign, I will... give you cookies. Though my baking skills are along the same lines as that of a newborn child, so they won't be very good cookies. So how about my never-ending love and affection instead? ;D

Thank you. I wanted to sign before, but I wasn't sure where it was (and I'm extremely lazy about these things, sigh).

I adore Pushing Daisies and even more I adore Kristin Chenoweth, so I signed it.

As much as I love PD myself, I sincerely doubt that a petition will accomplish anything. What would be better is for people to start making a point of watching it on their actual televisions when it comes on (or TiVoing it, whatever works for you) in order to improve the ratings. If it's just a bunch of people signing a piece of paper but then continuing to download it or stream it instead of making money for the network, the corporate decision-makers are not going to change their minds.

I might just be clueless about the times, but aren't viewer ratings still generated from Nielsen households?

Okay! After doing some googling to refresh my memory, it looks like statistics are still generated using Nielsen boxes. So unless you're one of the representative population who's been selected for monitoring, making a point to watch it won't really get any information anywhere.

As far as I've ever gathered from the hardcore participatory Supernatural fandom, the only way to get your particular number out is to write the networks about how much you love a show. And hey, online petitions aren't the most official medium ever, but if it catches someone's eye... at least it gives them a snapshot impression of fans and numbers?

i don't know how much good it'll do but i signed awhile ago. and i've been begging people to watch since its in-danger status was announced. seriously, how can something so brilliant be canceled??

It's sad, but it happens all the time. Even so, I'm determined to keep promoting Pushing Daisies, because I love it so. :)

And even more painfully, it happens to Bryan Fuller all the time. :( The man creates some of the most beautiful and original high-concept shows on television, and they keep getting shot down. IT MAKES ME PINE FOR LIFE.

UGH I KNOW. :[ I saw an ONTD poast that was like "Bryan Fuller has been a part of Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls and Heroes" and I was like so....basically anything he's been a part of has either been cancelled, or it went severely downhill after he left. /heroesbashing
