icepixieApparently Pushing Daisies hit a series low in the ratings last night. (People say there was no promotion whatsoever over the past two weeks, so why am I not surprised?)
I think I'll miss the wordplay (which was excellent in this episode) most of all.
*rains curses upon ABC's collective heads*
(I hear Cupid starts airing on ABC in...spring? I think? I'm debating whether to watch it. I want to watch it, because it's Cupid, but apparently me starting to watch a show from the first episode is certain death. [PD is actually the longest-lasting of those I've started watching when they first air. That's sad.] Maybe I'll let it get some episodes under its belt and to defeat karma before I watch.)

They do record some Tivo, etc. data, and they get paid when you watch it on the internet, so they know about that, but the Nielsens are still the big measurer. I think they use some ridiculously small sample size, like 10,000 households or something. Foolish fools.
