And I have a bone to pick with you America - who the hell is watching Dancing With The Stars? You are ruining television for the rest of us. I have recently found out from the futoncritic.com that tv shows get canceled for 1 of 3 reasons (check out the link for the full analysis).
Futon's analysis gives a run down of all the time slots ratings numbers and reveals that 20.5 MILLION people are watching Dancing With B-List Stars That Nobody Cares About And Doesn't Ever Want To See Again (I'm talking about you Ian Ziering). So when my beloved Pushing Daisies doesn't come up with even 1/3 of the audience, the network decides to cancel the more expensive (and infinitely better show) to run more nights and or re-runs of the inexpensive Dancing With The Has Beens (because talentless hacks come cheap).
By the way, kudos to futoncritic.com for providing lists of stats, tables, and exhaustive analyses for the inner tv geek in all of us. Seriously, check out their "10 things you need to know about the new season" for a full rundown.
