Please, Pushing Daisies fans, please note that I say IF. I even put it in capital letters! There was talk that Bryan Fuller would be asked by Tim Kring to return to Heroes after NBC told Kring to let two other producers on the show, Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb, go. Now Fuller confirms that he will definitely go back to the show if Pushing Daisies isn't picked up after the 13th episode of the series, which will be completed in January.
Now the bad news for PD fans: even though I used that word IF, it looks like ABC won't pick up the show for a full season or another season. It just isn't getting the ratings to warrant more episodes. It's possible that the network will want to give a full season to the show because it does have its fan base and is a quality show, but don't hold your breath.
Heroes needs a kick in the rear to get some buzz again, and getting Fuller back (he did a lot of the great first season episodes that got us hooked on the show in the first place) would be very cool.
1. That's too bad, Pushing Daisies is a much, much better show than Heroes (including first season Heroes). Plus, I would really like to see Bryan Fuller get to have a series continue until he decides it's over rather than the network...
