See the final episodes of 'Pushing Daisies' ... on DVD By Rick Porter April 01, 12:31 PM Fans of "Pushing Daisies" now have a certain date when they can see the final episodes of the series -- provided they're willing to pony up for the DVD set. Warner Bros. will release the second season of the cancelled ABC show on DVD and Blu-Ray Tuesday, July 21. The set will include all 13 episodes from the series -- including the three that haven't aired since the network pulled the plug in December. An ABC rep says the network is planning to air the final three episodes during the summer, but it hasn't set any dates. Meanwhile, viewers in Britain will probably get to see the finale before we do in the States, as ITV, which airs the show in the U.K., says it's committed to the full series. "Norwegians," the last episode that aired here, is scheduled to run on ITV Friday (April 3), although the channel's listings don't show the show airing the following week. Still, the DVD set will probably cost considerably less than a plane ticket to London. The DVD will include a handful of extras on the making of the show, including one on the challenges of constructing the show's fanciful sets, one on the visual effects team and one about composer Jim Dooley.

http://weblogs.variety.com/bltv/2009/04/abc-to-run-pushing-daisies-other... « Puberty Breaks Out All Over Cartoon Network | Main April 8 ABC To Run 'Pushing Daisies' & Other Dead Things Amid today's summer scheduling announcement ABC unveiled the following airdates for several canceled series. From the network's release: Airdates for the remaining episodes of “Pushing Daisies,” “Eli Stone” and “Dirty Sexy Money” were also announced, with “Pushing Daisies” returning to the schedule as of Saturday, May 30 through Saturday, June 13 at 10:00 p.m.; Eli Stone” on Saturday, June 20 through Saturday, July 11 at 10:00 p.m.; and “Dirty Sexy Money” on Saturday, July 18 through August 8 at 10:00 p.m. Saturday -- the night with traditionally the lowest HUT (or homes using TV) levels -- thus becomes "Night of the Living Dead" Theater, burning off remaining episodes of programs that have already been canceled. This announcement follows my latest column about DirecTV striking a deal with Warner Bros. to air the unseen episodes of several canceled series, including ABC's "The Nine" and "Eyes" and CBS' "Smith" (which co-starred Simon Baker before he broke through -- in an "If at first you don't succeed" way -- with "The Mentalist"). Nobody should expect big ratings from any of these deceased series, but it's nice to see ABC finish out the runs, even if it's in the scheduling equivalent of the dark side of the moon. Networks have a habit of wanting to hide from their failures, but the truth is each of these shows possessed some kind of following (in the case of "Daisies," an especially loyal one), and there's an element of wisdom in not sending them away grumbling, if only from a customer-service standpoint. Meanwhile, for those who can't wait for ABC, series creator Bryan Fuller will present the final episodes at the upcoming Los Angeles Paley Festival. The details are here. It should be a festive occasion, but I'd still suggest being tasteful and wearing black.
