Trivia about Pushing Daisies

Because of the Writers Guild strike, the show completed just nine episodes of a 22-episode season.

Instead of attempting to complete the first season, the writers planned to begin work on the second season with production resuming around March to June 2008.

Although ABC picked Pushing Daisies up for the 2008–09 television season, when ratings quickly declined ABC opted not to order additional episodes beyond the second season's initial thirteen.

On October 23, 2007, the show received a full season order.

However, scripts for nine episodes were completed before the start of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.

Bryan Fuller reportedly made last-minute changes to the ninth episode to allow it to serve as a season finale, adjusting the episode to be a cliffhanger.
