Men in Trees, Pushing Daisies prepare strike-shortened season finales...just in case.

Even Ned the pie-maker's magic touch and James Tupper's rugged good looks can't stop what is looking more and more like inevitability: The Writers Guild of America strike is going to cut the seasons of television shows short.

But just because their seasons may be shortened, it doesn't mean ABC's Pushing Daisies and Men in Trees can't give proper sendoffs. Both shows are preparing potential season finales in case their runs are stunted by the strike, says TVGuide.com.

Pushing Daisies is currently in production of its ninth episode--which is looking more and more like the last of its successful first season. Before the strike hit, ABC picked up the show for a full 22-episode season.

Daisies creator Bryan Fuller told TVGuide.com, "As we were scrambling to rewrite [Episode 9], we added several elements that will put many balls into the air and hopefully encourage the audience to come back and see how they land."

Sucks! Ugh. This is the new show I'll miss the most I think. I mean, really...this strike isn't ending any time soon, don't think.

Good news it got the full 22 eps, but I am going to be having withdrawal symptoms if, like you say, this writers strike doesn't look like ending soon.....

I'm just glad I still have the last 3 eps to watch.

Like Dorothy, eh? "I think I'll miss you most of all pie-man." :)

I was so glad to hear that it was assured for a full season although I am worried about the writer's strike also. Even though I do completely support the strike I am going to be sad when there is nothing new on TV. I will just have to survive on my Angel, Buffy, Charmed, and Smallville dvds.

I picked up the two seasons of Dead Like Me. Those'll last awhile hopefully.

If not there's always Dead Like Me's mistreated step child, Wonderfalls. That's maybe enough classic Bryan Fuller to keep a guy interested in PD.
