Pushing Dasies, Eli Stone & Dirty,Sexy Money Fans --Remaining Shows to Air in the Summer



Well in case you didn't already know Eli Stone, Dirt, Sexy Money and Pushing Dasies were all canceled by ABC mid season. What you may not have known is that not all the episodes of those shows have aired. Sometimes the network quietly airs the remaining shows in the summer. By quietly, I mean you really don't see any commercials for them so unless you automatically have them on your DVR to "record all new episodes" you won't even know they are on and you'll miss it.

In putting together a list of what shows are airing when I came across the information that these three shows will be airing their remaining episodes on the following dates/times;

5/30 - Pushing Dasies - 10pm on ABC through 6/13
6/20 - Eli Stone - 10pm on ABC through 7/11
7/18 - Dirty Sexy Money at 10pm on ABC through August.

Now, I was devising this list because sometimes schedules overlap and if one happens to fall as the "third" show in the same hour one week or at a certain time, well your DVR will not record one and record the other two and you missed it. As crazy at it sounds you need to strategically place your shows on the appropriate DVR in your house so that this doesn't happen. It's more a problem during the fall season, but can happen in the summer. As a little aside, I also consider which shows my husband really likes to watch so that I can record them in our bedroom where he is most likely to watch them. The ones only I'm interested in I try to recored in the living room. Yeah.. I know it sounds crazy right? But it works. Remember, I watch TV, TV doesn't watch me.

It's also difficult to keep track of all that's on and when, especially with the cable networks adding so many good new shows in the summer. Here is the list I've got so far and that I think is pretty thorough;
