I believe ABC is hit or miss about showing every thing that has been produced with regards to shows that have been canceled. (I think there were some un-aired episodes of Space, but didn't all of Pushing Daisies air?) I expect we will see the remainder of the episodes in 2012. Anyway, I enjoyed last night's episode and think I am really going to miss this series. - Walter.

Let's hope this wasn't the final aired episode! Helluva cliffhanger if it is.

but didn't all of Pushing Daisies air?

Yes, it did air.

FYI, iTunes is offering the first 9 episodes for free for a limited time. I just downloaded them all in case this offer ends soon. It's in HD and SD too. It was great when they offered the pilot for free when is first aired. It could be an effort to increase interest in the series. Hope it works. It would be great if they offer the next episodes too for free.

The last episodes started airing last Sunday. I thought it will be a real shame if this series is really cancelled. The level of detail is really well done, the crew flew to Russia this past week and I thought the production design was great! The addition of the actor from Mad Men was great too as he added conflict to our crew, as did the return of Dean's old girlfriend.

The season ended tonight with 1964. Lots of surprising turns tonight. If it's really over and cancelled, at least it felt like some resolution was put into the script. Though a lot of the character arcs throughout seemed to veer around, I thought the stand out was the actress who played Collette. She was a solid character throughout. From learning of her past with the Nazis to tonight's reveal of her true family history was heartbreaking for her. The spy business really changed from simply carrying stuff from country to country to more missions in each country. I was a liile surprised they took to the level they did, especially in the finale. I was hoping to see a dramatic payoff for Maggie given her hard work fighting Kennedy's campaign when the penultimate episode aired and we learn JFK was assassinated. I guess the writers and show runners were redirecting the series mid way. I was expecting a Mad Men style of a convergence of events in the world and how it affected the characters. But they chose a lighter approach. And they finally brought Ted and Laura together but added that little complication with Ted's fiancee. I didn't really care for that, it was a pretty soapy thing to do. But I still admire the series, the effort to create the 1960's, the high production values, the decent CGI. I hope it comes back with a stronger sense of direction.

Pretty much in agreement with Nelson regarding this series. (Not much to add really.) Sorry to see this one go, but that's life in television land. - Walter.
