'Pushing Daisies' creator Bryan Fuller says he might return to 'Heroes' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 11-06-2008, 11:47 PM

In the wake of coexecutive producers Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander getting fired from Heroes, online fans have been crying out for former Heroes writer (and Pushing Daisies creator) Bryan Fuller to rejoin the show. Apparently, somebody is listening. Fuller told EW.com that he's open to a comeback. "I am exclusive to Daisies through the delivery of the 13th episode of our 13-episode order, which will be mid-January," says Fuller. "If Daisies isn't picked up by then, I will definitely be going back to play with my friends at Heroes."

It seems unlikely that ABC will pick up more episodes of the critically-beloved Daisies; the show is currently ranked at No. 64 and attracts a mere 6.14 million viewers. NBC-Universal could score major points with its ever-impatient fans if the network rehired Fuller, who not only wrote for Heroes in its first season but was responsible for "Company Man" — an episode widely hailed as the series' best single hour (the episode's unusual single-character focus is frequently cited as the model the series should follow going forward).

Now you know things are bad over on ABC when a producer/showrunner is actually going back to Heroes.

Well that sucks.

It sounds like Fuller isn't very confident that Pushing Daisies will be around much longer.

When the creator of the show is looking for another job, you know things are bad.
