Creator Bryan Fuller announced this fact Monday to Unscripted's Susan Young.

Fans of *Pushing Daisies* and the show's kooky cast of characters will be disappointed to hear this news. *Pushing Daisies* will not return until the fall, according to Susan Young's "Unscripted."  
  
Young spoke to *Daisies* creator Bryan Fuller via e-mail, where he confirmed what many experts in Hollywood had reported in recent days, his show will begin production in the fall.  
  
The reasoning, already taking into account how hard it is to produce a one-hour-drama like *Pushing Daisies*, is that Fuller didn't think it was wise to put his show up against reality TV monster *American Idol.* ABC agreed with this, and Fuller also said in his e-mail exchange with Young that airing a few episodes at the end of the season wouldn't do his show much good.
