Flower Power: ABC Orders More "Daisies"

Get a fresh piece of pie: there's one new series that certainly won't be pushing up daisies by midseason.

In a move that instantly made me jump out of my chair and do a victory dance, ABC has ordered the back nine episodes of freshman drama Pushing Daisies.

The order brings the episodic total for this season of Pushing Daisies, which stars Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Chi McBride, and Kristin Chenoweth, to 22 episodes. (In your face, naysayers!)

Personally, I feel that the news of Pushing Daisies' pickup validates the belief that America deserves more than cookie-cutter procedurals and endless reality series and that there truly is an audience out there for series that unique, intelligent, and quirky.

Pushing Daisies, created by Bryan Fuller and produced by Warner Bros Television, airs Wednesdays at 8 pm on ABC.
