E!Online has confirmation that ABC has canceled Pushing Daisies, and according to their inside sources, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money also have been canned. Sources who work on Eli and DSM say they were informed today the shows would not continue. However reps for both shows have declined to comment.

Pushing Daisies, executive producer Bryan Fuller,tells that: “It’s very likely that Pushing Daisies will end after episode 13, which as you know, is a cliffhanger. But we are talking to DC Comics about doing comic books that will wrap up our storylines, and I already have a pitch for a [big-screen] movie ready to go.”

As reported by the Hollywood Reporter, the ratings for last night’s “Oh, Oh, Oh, It’s Magic” episode were the series’ worst ever numbers in the key 18-49 demographic.

“To be honest,” Fuller tells me, “I’m really not feeling very boo hoo about it. I am so proud of the show. We put together 22 really good episodes, and there is a lot to be proud of. I’m sure I’ll be working with a lot of these people again, and I would love to do so.”

ABC intends to air the remaining Daisies episodes that have been shot, either in the current Wednesday at 8 p.m. timeslot or in another spot.

Shame to see all these shows go!
