Lets hope we see a release. Though on a different network, the cancelled Journeyman has still not seen a DVD release either.

Even NBC showed the rest of Lipstick Jungle.

Realistically I think Daisies has the best chance of getting a DVD release.

As far as a TV airing goes, I doubt you will be seeing Dirty Sexy Money and Eli hit air. I read that Steve McPherson, ABC's Prez, said they didn't have enough time to produce a satisfying conclusion to both shows.

ABC could air these episodes easily. All tehy ahve to do is take a couple of saturdays which are dead nights anyway, and air them. Problem solved. I really do not understand why they would pay all this money to make an episode, only to have it never air. Seems silly to me.

IIRC, Eli and DSM has a proper ending at the run of S2 13 episodes - PD was scrambling at the last minute to give viewers a proper ending and it took a few weeks for them to do so (It was an Olive episode and the retooled it a bit a few weeks after ABC canned it).

A repeat of one of their "hot" shows would garner more ratings then any of these 3 TV Shows. I wish they would, but I'm hoping a DVD release will come out soon.

Yes, I believe you're correct. Pretty sure I read that DSM and Eli do indeed have endings.

This was addressed in another thread here, I believe (maybe the most recent Daisies episode thread). Apparently, a lot of issues are present due to the affiliates. (Or, they're just using that as an excuse.)

I'm really waiting to see the time when TV production companies start trying to write up contracts that say:

"TV network agrees to show entire season of said show to completion no matter what ratings are, in order to provide some closure to any people that are actually watching"

I know it's a pipe dream, especially when networks can pump out horrible cheap reality shows that can make twice the money with half the ratings, but still...

I just want to see the end of DSM. I don't care if it is satisfying or sensible. I just want to see where they went with it.

I agree that the ratings on saturdays would be pretty low, but if they just sucked it up and aired them now, as opposed to months after the last aired episode aired, hopefully people would tune in.

But people won't. Why not just save these for the DVD and advertise "Unaired Episodes!!!"?

I wish...
Well, my little protest is that I NEVER buy DVDs of shows that don't provide a satisfactory conclusion to the series. At least that way I feel I don't provide further monetary benefit to the cheesy bastards.

I had read that ABC is under contract to show all episodes but there is no stipulation as to....When.

They don't have to show them. They can let them rot in a basement for twenty years if they want.

There would have to be a concerted effort by all production companies to make that demand, or the networks would just pick up the shows that didn't make that demand.

I seem to recall some stories that Aaron Sorkin did make that demand with Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and I imagine NBC isn't in a big rush to make that guarantee to any more shows.

IIRC, Aaron Sorkin secured such a deal for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. A penalty fee may have been involved if they all weren't shown, if I'm not mistaken.

Of course if I'm remembering right, it took someone with some decent clout to secure such an agreement. There's not a chance in hell for a no name show from new people in the biz to get such a deal.

Jimmy James 01-21-09 08:46 PM

Re: Remaining 'Daisies,' 'Dirty Sexy' and 'Stone' eps in limbo
 
My guess is that the contracts contain that clause as it is now. I imagine the issue is that the penalty is essentially nothing.

Some news...


Question: Is there any news on anything Pushing Daisies related? -- Eric
Ausiello: Yes, there are three new developments -- and, believe it or not, all of them are positive! 1) I'm told Warner Bros. will definitely be releasing a season 2 DVD. 2) After undergoing a major post production tweaking, the series finale is now a loose-end-tying-up extravaganza. 3) And the inimitable Ellen Greene is in talks with Heroes to return as Sylar's mom during May sweeps.

I am not real happy with ABC right now. They couldn't have run all the episodes of these shows when everything was on Holiday Hiatus in December?

But will there be a season 2 Blu-ray? I own S1 on BD and would love to own S2 on BD as well. No BD release means I sell my S1 and rent S2 on DVD.

I soooo agree with you! There are just way too many loose ends. I NEED THAT SHOW BACK! LOL

I freakin HATE those so called "reality (whatever) shows"...

DSM is awesome and has a stellar cast with great story lines, not to mention things happening that I didn't see coming. I certainly didn't see the show ending. That blows.

They managed to tie up all the loose ends without shooting any extra footage? BS, Ausiello.

Voice overs?

Re: Remaining 'Daisies,' 'Dirty Sexy' and 'Stone' eps in limbo
 
Yeah, I guess they could do voice-overs or a "where are they now" scroll. Good point. I hadn't thought of that.
