Resisting the urge to do the obvious "Pushing Daisies" headline

After posting its worst ratings to date last night (fewer than 5 million viewers), "Pushing Daisies" was dispatched to that Big Pie Hole in the Sky, where not even Ned's magical touch can resurrect it.

(Oh, go ahead and touch her, Ned. Like it matters anymore.)

E! Online also reports that "Dirty Sexy Money" (5.6 million viewers last night) and "Eli Stone" (6.9 million viewers on Tuesday, which is almost good by ABC standards these days) got their pink slips, as well.

"PD" creator Bryan Fuller confirmed his show's demise, stating that the final episode to be shot was a cliffhanger, but maybe he'll get to finish the story in a movie (I'm guessing not) or a comic book.

Here's an idea - if you're show is low-rated and could be cancelled at any minute, how about not doing cliffhanger episodes?
