Good news?

I...think this means Pushing Daisies just got renewed?

But only kinda. It's 13 episodes this season, and then they break until May, when production starts on S3 (which will air...god knows when...and be...god knows how many episodes...).

I don't quite understand what's going on here, but since I was pretty much expecting to not even see the back eight of this season until the DVDs came out, I am all asquee!

...huh? So, basically, we're just getting the other half of Ye Olde Season One, and then everything's on hold again? This looks unpromising.

Are they doing this weirdness to any other shows?

I think it's a case of, "The ratings are low enough to kill it, but it's a critical darling so we're going to act like we're giving it another chance when really we just have a hole in our schedule and won't put any effort into saving it by moving it to a useful time slot."

I hear there were a couple of thirteen-episode orders that got reduced to ten, but nothing this weird, no. (Although perhaps ABC is pioneering the American use of the BBC-style thirteen-episode season? I could live with that.)

WOES.

I could live with just about anything that let the show progress in an artful, thought-out manner. HEAR THAT, ABC??
