From 2007-2009 the american drama comedy, 'Pushing Daises', run sucsessfully according to statistics, with an average of 9.6 million viewers per episode and good reviews from critics, some critics quoted, ' it was funny, imaginative and smart', and,' it follows the directing style of tim burton'. So with good viewing ratings and good ratings from critics and audience what went wrong?
There were several reasons as to why the seemingly successful show cancelled, firstly as the show was beginning to get monument and popularity the writer went on strike, and it collapsed on itself, another reason is because it was very expensive to produce and make.
If i was going to re-launch this program i would firstly find a dedicated production team with contracts so there wasn't a chance of them quitting, secondly i would hire a budget team and come up with ideas on how to save money from each episode, these ideas include things such as, more green screen, less props, cheaper actors, whilst still trying to keep the same quality it produced before hand.
Technically pushing daisies shouldn't have shut down, it was successful and was popular with the public, but there expensive tendencies with the episode cost outweighed the amount of revenue they were making back, so in terms of cast i would use the same actors and try to save money in different aspects of the program.
The schedule would be once a week, compared to the second season showing on wednesdays and saturdays, this would save a lot of money and allow better quality episodes to be produced, and more money would be made from the weekly showing instead of showing two episodes a week.
