"Daisies" problem is that it's an expensive show to make. This is becoming a problem lately, with huge sums being pumped into pilots to make them look amazing, followed by the discovery that you can't repeat that look every week without making the show cost-prohibitive. If those shows do anything less than top-10 ratings, with the commensurate premium on ad time, they don't make sense to keep making.
Yeah, that’s why I think it’s on the bubble. It’s clearly getting OK numbers for most shows (it’s fallen to better than Journeyman started), but it is a bit pricey. The good news on the show though is I think most of the costs are 1 shot, having built the expensive sets further seasons should be a little cheaper. Only time will tell. The whole year is up for grabs, nobody is getting the numbers they want with anything, the writers are on strike, the actors soon will be, the directors shortly after that. There’s the distinct possibility of the suits bailing on the whole year except for one or two top drawers shows on each network.
