All major entertainment websites report that NBC has decided to cancel both series. What they don't know, and that's because NBC ain't talking yet, is if the already-in-the-can episodes would see the light of a TV screen before the series retire.
When it picked up Christian Slater's My Own Worst Enemy, NBC ordered 9 episodes. As of right now, the cast and crew are working on shooting episode 9, meaning that we could still have some closure if the writers quickly alter the script and if NBC airs all ordered episodes or put them online.

As for Lipstick Jungle, the network had ordered 13 episodes for the show's second season with an option to order more. All of these episodes have been produced. It's not known at this time if the cast and crew were told that cancellation was looming before the last second of episode 2.13 was produced. This means that even if we get to see all episodes, it's possible we are left with cliffhangers and questions at the end of the last episode.

According to EW.com and Eonline.com, "Pushing Daisies," the whimsical dramedy about a lovelorn piemaker, has been axed. According to the Hollywood Reporter's James Hibberd, ABC is "actively avoiding the 'c' word"—cancellation—for two other shows, "Dirty Sexy Money" and "Eli Stone," but the producers of those shows have been told that no more episodes are being ordered, which is effectively the same as cancellation.

Noooooo

My Own Worst Enemy is a good show, one of the best new shows to come out in a while, the others I don't care about but why are the cancelling MOWE?

Dirty Sexy Money was pure garbage anyway. However Pushing Daisies was cleverly hilerious and almost squeaky clean (rare these days). Plus the plots were very creative as were the sets. Too bad really. Oh well yet another reason not to watch tv.
 
I'll miss Pushing Daisies, if only for their quirky scenery and designs. There simply isn't any other TV show like it.

So happy Eli Stone bit the dust. I've been hoping for it's demise since the first episode, due to the series' gross misrepresentation of scientific evidence. That show is costing lives; had ABC been responsible its pilot never would have aired.
 
I read about Pushing Daisies yesterday. What an absolutely horrible thing to do.

I love that show. Incredibly clever, and great acting.

Like QuarterSwede said... Another reason not to watch television.
 
I enjoyed the first season of Pushing Daisies, but I have not watched any of the second season. I think the novelty wears off, and it became too sickly sweet that I got sick of it, especially the saccharine acting, a bad imitation of Tim Burton music and overall art design whose colours where dialed to eleven.

Hate to see it go because it was unique, but it deserved to die.
 
I won't miss Pushing Daisies. It was fun at first but how far can you go with this?

Two other weird series, 'Life on Mars' and 'Dead Like Me' only ran two seasons and that was just about the perfect run for both.
 
Pushing Daisies has the most witty dialogue on T.V., it is so much fun to watch.

Im quite depressed now.... :(

If you mean "Life on Mars" the UK set drama series, that's because the BBC are now on the sequel "Ashes to Ashes"

A quick look on ABC's site though tells me they Americanised it, great...
 
Other than Dirty Sexy Money, I didn't watch any of them. DSM is one of the few shows my gf and I agree on. Sure, it was trash but full of hotties and funny as hell.
 
The only US shows I watch are Lost, Heroes and South Park so I'm okay still :)

Yea I've actually read good things about the remake, although I don't know if the people who wrote the reviews ever saw the BBC version, which I thought was fantastic. But I'd still like to see some of the American one at some point.

As for the shows being cancelled, that's really too bad about Pushing Daisies, I really liked that show. And I'm fairly surprised they're canceling My Own Worst Enemy... there were a lot of ads for that show and the network seemed pretty excited about it.
 
As long as Brothers and Sisters, Gossip Girl, Supernatural, House and Ugly Betty are safe - I'm happy.

I don't own a TV - I just iTunes the above shows.
 
I really liked Lipstick Jungle. It struggled in the first season I think though, but the cast is wonderful and it's awesome to see Brooke Shields again.

I've seen better shows cancelled though IE: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Good. I remember seeing the promo for this show twice every commercial break during the Olympics. I am so relieved knowing I will never have to see one of it's commercials ever again.

I've seen the American version. It doesn't even come close to the British version, for starters they've cut every episode down to 45 mins!

Whilst the storyline is pretty much the same, the characters and the actors who play them are terrible, it isn't nearly as artistic as the other one - just looks like British life on mars on a really really tight budget!
 
If you're unhappy with the decisions, start a write-in campaign or a petition page or something... usually I'd say it's a waste of time, but it worked quite visibly last season (e.g. with Jericho, which somehow managed to save itself from the jaws of cancellation at least temporarily).
 
Didn't My Own Worst Enemy just start?! I don't watch any shows on ABC or NBC, only CBS. As long as the three CSI's and Eleventh Hour aren't axed, I'll be alright.
 
On November 12, NBC revealed they would not be ordering new episodes [4] and the series has been canceled. The network plans to air all nine produced episodes. [5] General Motors is a promotional sponsor of the show, and the new SUV model Chevrolet Traverse, along with the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, appeared as cars for the program's characters via a product placement agreement

Now that, really sucks. :(

Jericho is still on? My God that show is awful. I'm a little sad for Eli Stone because I love Johnny Lee Miller. Fantastic actor. But that guy has got to find some better material.
