We reported a couple days ago that the critically-lauded but low-rated Pushing Daisies was finally returning to ABC on May 30th. It was suspected that Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money would be back as well and we now have confirmation.
Eli Stone, which stars Jonny Lee Miller, Victor Garber and Natasha Henstridge, was cancelled after two short seasons on the air. The last episode to air, “Two Ministers,” was shown on December 30, 2008. The four remaining episodes will be burned off at 10pm on consecutive Saturday nights; June 20th, June 27th, July 4th, and July 11th. The series finale revolves around Eli having a vision and believing that one of his friends will perish in a plane crash.
Dirty Sexy Money, starring Peter Krause, Donald Sutherland and William Baldwin, was also cancelled after two brief seasons. The most recent installment to be broadcast, “The Organ Donor,” was shown way back on December 17, 2008. Money will take over the Saturday 10pm timeslot from Stone and the four unaired episodes (including the preempted Thanksgiving installment) will run on July 18th, July 25th, August 1st, and August 8th.
The series finale of Money is full of surprises. Simon tells Nick why he hates the Darlings and makes a confession about Nick’s father. Lisa decides to write a tell-all book and Karen embarks on a long-overdue relationship.
The second seasons of both Stone and Money are expected to be released on DVD but the release dates haven’t been announced yet.

Ugh, my husband and I LOVED Dirty Sexy Money ~ an adult show, great characters (yes, outlandish, but still less annoying than any idiot you find on reality tv shows!), the cast rocked too….
I wish they would pick it back up, or someone else would, because it was one of the few shows we both enjoyed watching.
I mean, how many reality shows or Cop/Lawyer shows can they put on TV? Its all the same old crap ~ DSM was so different!
Dirty Sexy Money was a show, finally, for the adult audience. My husband and I, loved it. HBO should pick it up and really show all the juicy dark secrets.
I am so bummed dirty sexy money is canceled. It was one of our favorites. Can’t understand why it wasn’t a bigger hit!!!
Ya its coming back! I hope they would renew it for a third season
It’s not fair. Dirty Sexy Money is an amazing show, kept me watching week after week. It should not be cancelled!
What about Cane, with Jimmy Smitts? That show was azaming, well written, and had a strong cast in the roles…What about Joan of Arcadia and The Book of Daniel? Again, well written, smart shows, with strong cast members…I guess people looking to watching intelligently written tv really do need to jump to HBO…So long local channels…hello paid tv…
I too was a fan of Dirty Sexy Money. Peter Krause is from 6 Feet Under, which, coincidently, aired on HBO…At least I have TrueBlood….
What the hell were you all thinking? Dirty Sexy Money is the 21st centery Dallas! I hope someone else picks it up idiots!
That really can’t be the end of Dirty Sexy Money, there are way too many unanswered questions, too many ends to tie up, you really can’t be left hanging like this, can we? I loved this show, was my weekly guilty pleasure.
The reality of pseudo-reality TV has set in and the morons running the studios have screwed up more this year than any time in the past.
The reason many of the shows were canceled was simply the program time. These people think they know what they are doing, but clearly they make huge mistakes over and over with these long breaks when people lose interest in the shows and extremely poor management of potentially long running shows,
Reality my foot. The only real thing about TV these days is CABLE.
I’m so disgusted with all the cancelations of original shows like fringe, heros, eli stone, & kyle xy. I’m done with cop shows and reality shows. Lets face it supernanny, is every kid will be bratty and either they or their parents just deserve a good slap to the head. the Bachelor is nothing but a bunch of scripted crap of good looking people with no real personality and that is why they are all single. Love dancing shows. Are fun too watch, Idol has its hit or miss seasons. I pay about 80 bucks a month for crappy reality… Read more »
As I just posted on another thread, there’s nothing worse than having a show that you invest yourself into watching, getting to know the charachters and then it gets canned for some lame ass replacement (that is duly canclled and the cycle continues).
At least finishing out the storyline is a MINIMUM we should demand from tv stations. So many good shows have been cancelled mid stream, it makes me so mad> I was within a hairs breadth of boycotting ABC about 3 years ago after they cancelled about a dozen dfifferent shows I watched over a couple of years.
I hate all these fake reality shows every thing I like goes away. Boston Legal, Studio 60, Life, Deadwood, Reaper, Eli Stone, Hero’s I guess, I hope Psych, and Always Sunny in Philly make it. Chuck is on the bubble. Scrubs is almost done. Everything else is going I am sure Lie to Me wont make it either. I am sure I leaving out more. I had it great for a while my drv was always full. But now what Jay Leno at 10 all weak long, The ten gilenth lame fake reality show. I know times are hard and… Read more »
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DIRTY SEXY MONEY’S FINALE SUCKED HARD!!!!!I live in italy and the last episode aired here
there is no closure!just a huge revelation and I’m dying to know what will happen next!they have to make a 2×14, it’s necessary
I too am happy that the last episodes of ELi Stone will be airing, I wish, however, that we didn’t have to wait until June and July too see them. Not to mention, the last episodes are being aired in an unfavorable timeslot which means that the show will not give many new viewers the opportunity to appreciate them. In other words, the Saturday evening timeslot will not attract new viewers to Eli Stone. What a pity.
I am glad Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money, and Pushing Daisies will return this summer to wrap up all episodes and then the series finale. This should be a rule for all series to give closure to the fans of these shows. I like this idea: air the remaining episodes for all cancelled series during the summer season. I hope NBC, CBS and FOX will follow their lead as well.
