This is a sad day. Despite valiant efforts by dozens of blogs and web sites to rally the faithful, ABC has finally decided to kill “Pushing Daisies.” The press release doesn’t actually use the word ‘canceled,’ but PD’s odds of return or survival make the proverbial snowball’s look like a sure thing.
