Did ABC Just Cancel Pushing Daisies?!

Los Angeles (E! Online) – No, no, no. A thousand times no.
This is what I can tell you hundreds of panicked fans who have emailed in this evening after hearing a fast-spreading rumor that Pushing Daisies has been canceled.
I've just checked in with very reliable and high-placed sources connected to the show, who tell me that ABC has not yet told producers the fate of the series.
Still, there is some truth to the rumor going around...
The current rumor being spread is that Daisies producers were told by ABC to treat episode 13 as a series finale, which some fans have interpreted as definitive news that the network decided to cancel the series.
Not true, say my very reliable sources. Producers have not yet been told whether they will receive a pickup for the remaining nine episodes of the current second season.
However, it is true that producers were told to change the plan for the 13th episode, which initially was a two-parter, with payoff in the 14th episode. According to insiders, ABC told producers to make number 13 a stand-alone episode and to "cover all bases," meaning that the episode should be able to serve as either a series finale or a launch pad into the final nine episodes of season two.
While the final scene of episode 13 would be a powerful final image of the series (it involves Charlotte Charles), I'm told there will be many storyline threads left unanswered, and trust me, you fans will not be happy if you don't get those back nine and the resolution to those stories.
Insiders at ABC tell me that the call on Daisies' fate might not come for a few weeks, as the decision-makers want to see how viewing patterns shift after the election on Tuesday.
The good news? Last night's episode was up a million viewers.
And really, what better way to celebrate the end of the election-news onslaught than with a genius, creative hour of fantasy-fun drama on Wednesday nights?
So what can you do to help? Watch, spread the news and it certainly wouldn't hurt to sign a petition or send a letter or a daisy to the fine people who hold Daisies' fate in their hands. Get the details on how to help here.
Then sound off with your love for Daisies below...
