Sarah Connor Chronicles and Knight Rider Get Full Season Orders

In what could be a good sign for Pushing Daisies, two low rated genre shows got the thumbs up from their networks for a full season: FOX's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and NBC's Knight Rider (which runs head to head with Daisies). Both series have pulled numbers hardly better than what Pushing Daisies has seen this season (though Knight Rider has beat it each week in its timeslot). This is really a rather unprecedented move by the networks to stand behind underperforming Science Fiction and Fantasy shows and may indicate a change in thinking concerning Prime Time programming. Since Pushing Daisies has an Emmy under its belt already along with critical praise (neither of which the other shows can boast), it may have a chance of at least getting a full season order. Our continued diligence will help as well, so be sure to sign the petition, write your letter, and keep watching the show.
