While I don't think ABC is blameless in this situation (they probably should have brought it back after the strike, and leaving their Wednesday lineup intact was pretty dumb), I do think they gave the show a pretty decent shake. Almost any other year, it would've been pulled after four airings due its dismal numbers this year. It's numbers were pretty awful. It might not have gotten as many chances as Veronica Mars or Arrested Development, but frankly neither show ever pulled in the ratings to justify the number of chances they got. I love this show, and I will miss it dearly, but I'm grateful that we managed to get two seasons out of it.

Here is why PD failed its so easy.

Last Fall it was on Wed at 8:00 and Dancing with the Stars Results were also on Wed Night so i think that being on the same night as the highest fall rated show, and the most talked about new show its helped alot. Once DWTS finished Daisies failed, didnt the first season finale only rank it 6 million viewers also. Had they brought it back for the Spring it would have been up against Fox's American Idol Tues/Wed giant and the show would not have made it back for the fall. Had DWTS not shit its pants and ran away from American Idol Wed, the show would still be on Wed's and PD would still be bringing in a stable 8 million viewers, and likly have had stayed on the air. I think thats the problem. Certain channels revolve around certain shows. American Idol saves Fox, Friends used to save NBC, and DWTS (kind of also Greys, and Desperate) save ABC. If shows are put on the nights as those big shows they will do good, if they are not thee show will struggle. ABC, FOX, and ABC are not like CBS where they can get any show to do good. I am willing to be once Hosewives or Greys left the air, all ABC's Sunday and Thursay would fail [look at what happened to NBC's Must See Thursday].

Pushing Daises has no Big Show on Wed on ABC to help it out. Nothing good is on Wed, if you look at Ratings nothing really does good that night. Had DWTS still been on Wed night the show would not be getting cancelled.
