Pushing Daisies Comes Up With Ratings Roses

**Bacchus** · #1 10-04-2007

There is some really good news if you liked the premiere of Pushing Daisey's: The ratings are in and "Daisies" was a hit for the alphabet network!

The better the ratings of a given show, the more likely that it will stick around for the entire season. So this can be taken as great news for those who just became instant fans of the quirky new series. I really hope other people liked what they saw as well and tune in again next week!

Here is the ratings report from Zap2it:
