Number of seasons: 2
“It was such an interesting show. It was almost like a comic book brought to life. The dialogue was kind of rhythmic and pleasing to listen to. The set design was also really colorful and fun to look at — it was cheerful. The Season 2 finale felt rushed and sloppy. They could have done a Season 3. I was gutted when it got axed.”

“I have long lamented the demise of Pushing Daisies. It was a victim of the 2007–2008 writers’ strike. At the time, it aired most of Season 2, went out of production for nearly a year, and by the time it came back, any momentum it had was gone. The reason for the choppy and awkward final episode is that they had already taped the end of the season before they found out they were canceled, so they had to cobble together a resolution from the footage they had. I still have never watched the final three episodes because it made me so angry that they canceled it. It was fun, fresh, thoughtful, and the visuals were pleasing to behold.”
