What does ABC's cancellation of Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone mean for network TV?
The fact that I hadn’t ever really seen anything like Pushing Daisies should have been my first clue it was headed toward the graveyard. In this day and age—where crime shows, hospital dramas and reality TV dominate the Nielsen’s top tier—there isn’t much room on network television for anything outside of the status quo.

Wednesday’s season premiere proved that no one does scheming quite like the Darlings. Greg Berlanti’s sprawling family dramedy, Dirty Sexy Money, focuses on Manhattan’s richest family, the Darlings. The family is, of course, anything but. Dirty Sexy Money benefits from one of the most impressive casts on network television. Peter Krause leads as the family’s exasperated lawyer Nick George, Donald Sutherland appears to be having the most fun of his professional career playing Tripp, the manipulative patriarch of the Darling clan, and Jill Clayburgh gets in a few laughs as his alcoholic, adulterous wife, Leticia.It is easy to write off... read more
