Pushing Daisies has been canceled. Dirty Sexy Money has been canceled. Eli Stone has been canceled. ABC isn't using that dreaded c-word in its statements today, but it matters not. You can't argue your way out of reality, and semantics only serve to soften the blow. The producers on all three of those shows were informed today that ABC would not be picking up the second halves of their respective seasons, and that they have no intention of ever ordering new episodes. This is the harsh reality of the television business, but it is little solace to the fans, rabid as they were, for each of these three shows. That shows like Two and a Half Men and CSI: Miami can thrive while the likes of Pushing Daisies are largely ignored is at once unfathomable and depressing.

Previously, we reported that the little spoiled brat Juliet (Samaire Armstrong) will be coming back for Dirty Sexy Money's Thanksgiving episode, when the Darlings will go somewhere for the holiday. Back in New York, the chauffeur sits down with a reporter to give his take on the many scandals the family was involved in, with special attention to Juliet's jet-setting adventures.
Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports from The Futon Critic with some information from ABC's midseason schedule show that Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies are nowhere in sight, with two new series occupying the network's Wednesday lineup.

On Dirty Sexy Money, she is known as that ill-tempered, diva-ish, spoiled girl who'd long dreamed of being taken seriously as an actress who is now on some island somewhere. Juliet Darling, played by Samaire Armstrong, once revealed to Nick that her promiscuous reputation was just a show, since having a reputation as a "slut" is easier than trying to convince anyone that she's never even been kissed. She was, of course, a regular on Dirty Sexy Money's first season, but opted not to return because of “personal reasons.” Some fans miss the interaction between the twins.
An ABC spokesperson tells Entertainment Weekly that Armstrong will be returning to Dirty Sexy Money for a special Thanksgiving-themed episode set to air on November 26 called “The Facts." The Darlings are away celebrating Thanksgiving, while back in New York, the chauffeur sits down with a reporter to give his take on the many scandals that clan has been embroiled in, especially Juliet's worldwide adventures with her lover Kai.

On the last episode of Dirty Sexy Money called “The Silence,” there was this memorable line from Karen (Natalie Zea): "I've been married four times, even I have shame."
Last episode opened with Nick (Peter Krause) and Lisa (Zoe McEllan) in couples counseling where they talked about their problems, mainly the lack of sex in the relationship. The therapist's response: at least they were being honest with their unhappiness, as if that counted. Meanwhile, Andrea (Sheryl Lee) and Brian (Glenn Fitzgerald) were screaming at each other while Brian Jr. (Will Shadley) sat there watching. More couples: Jeremy and Nola were at it in some fancy shower until he asked for a favor to get his mom to Patrick's campaign party. The show also ends with yet another therapy session. And yeah, perfectly timed for our national election, Patrick has won.

Season 2 of Dirty Sexy Money has been just as soapy and scandalous as season 1, but for some reason the ratings have slowly been sinking. Not even the addition of Lucy Liu as sexy prosecutor Nola Lyons has helped the show win back distracted viewers. The numbers for the previous outing may not have impressed, but the episode itself was a lot of fun. Patrick finally reunited with Carmelita, Brian flew to Brazil to confront Andrea over her parenting skills, Nick convinced his mother not to testify against Letitia, and Karen realized that she's over Nick.
Tonight's episode of Dirty Sexy Money focused heavily on Patrick and his newly rediscovered paramour, as he struggled to decide whether he should reveal his relationship with Carmelita to the nation.

Nick George spent the last episode of Dirty Sexy Money debating which Darling should take over the family business in Letitia's absence. He eventually settled on Brian, but at the last minute Tripp decided that Nick should be the man in charge. Will all that power go straight to his head? In addition to that surprise twist, Jeremy discovered that Nola is prosecuting his mother, Patrick delivered a moving eulogy for his wife while thinking of Carmelita, and Simon admitted to Nick that Karen isn't fit to run a billion dollar corporation.
On tonight's Dirty Sexy Money, Nick discovers that his estranged mother will be testifying against Letitia at the murder trial.

In 2008, Lucy Liu was cast on Dirty Sexy Money in a role created just for her when the producers learned that she was a big fan of the series. Today, she plays the role of Nola Lyons, a powerful attorney who is reasonably wealthy herself and faces Nick George (Peter Krause). In a recent interview with Crave Online, Liu says her regular role on Dirty Sexy Money gives her a special insight into the world of the extremely wealthy.
“I think there's a certain mentality about people who have money that I think is very interesting. I'm slowly learning about that as I progress in the people that I meet. It's incredible how generous people can be. It's incredible how it does change people when they do have money.”

On the last episode of Dirty Sexy Money called “The Family Lawyer,” Tripp (Donald Sutherland) assigned Nick (Peter Krause) with the task of naming one of the Darling children to be his successor. Jeremy Darling found out that his mysterious new lady friend is involved in his mother's murder trial, and Patrick gave a eulogy at his late wife's funeral that also gave his political campaign the spark it needed.
On the next episode of Dirty Sexy Money, which will not air until next Wednesday due to the third presidential debate, Nick agrees to defend Letitia (Jill Clayburgh) in the murder case of Nick's father, Dutch George. However, he is shocked when he finds out that his mother is among the witness list of the prosecutor's side (with Nola). Letitia pleads not guilty and therefore has to spend a night in jail. She is bound out and is put under house arrest.
