Why push Pushing Daisies?

So ITV has dropped the second installment of Pushing Daisies, its acclaimed acquisition.

Why? Because it says that there are nine episodes and only eight available slots. So one had to go.
Comment Central to the rescue.

Carefully reviewing the packed ITV schedule we've done something that you might have thought impossible. We have identified ten top class shows that could, just could, be dropped to make way for the extra episode, without, we hazard, damaging this nation's cultural life unduly: 

1) The Jeremy Kyle Show: You Cheated on Me With My Friend, So Prove I'm the Dad!

2) Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter

3) Sally Jessy Raphael: Gotcha! Spying on Dangerous Teens

4) Police Stop! Real-life footage of criminals and ordinary people behaving badly

5) Used Car Roadshow

6) Judge Judy

7) Daily Cooks Challenge

8) All Star Mr & Mrs. Celebrity couples reveal how much they know about each other

9) Loose Women

10) Teleshopping

Glad to be of service.

Given that the show is repeated on ITV 1 on the Sunday following, and several times on ITV2 ( and ITV2 plus One, of course! ) they could do something radical like drop a repeat.

Anybody noticed that the Sunday replay was censored ?

[David Patrick]

It does show a real contempt for the viewers by ITV. Episode two could have been easily placed in one of the several repeat slots of episode 1. Or transmitted as a special on ITV 2, or American Pie could have been bumped back an hour for a double episode.

Just about anything would be better than the route ITV picked.

Show it all or don't bother at all.

I'm amazed at how daft this decision is.

Daniel's right, Peter's right, David's right. Is anyone out there who doesn't think cancelling an episode is the worst possible move? Anything would have been better than this.
