"Former Pushing Daisies star Kristen Chenoweth has admitted that she is still upset over ABC&amp;#039;s decision to axe the show. The network decided to cancel the quirky comedy-drama, which followed the supernatural antics of piemaker Ned (Lee Pace), in late 2008 after two seasons. Chenoweth, who played waitress Olive Snook, has now described her time on the programme as &amp;quot;some of the best years of my life and of my career&amp;quot;. Speaking to Digital Journal, she continued: &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t believe the show is gone. I&amp;#039;m still in a little bit of mourning over it.&amp;quot; The 40-year-old actress added that she is proud of the way Daisies offered escapism to its fans while it was on the air. &amp;quot;Well, it harkens back to an innocence that I think we long for at this time,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;Let&amp;#039;s not forget, we&amp;#039;re still at war and people want to be taken away from all that. They want to be transported.  &amp;quot;People say to me all the time, &amp;#039;It&amp;#039;s just entertainment. Is it so important? Are awards shows? TV shows?&amp;#039; I say, &amp;#039;Yes, because it takes you away from reality for an hour&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; The show&amp;#039;s lead actress Anna Friel recently insisted that she is &amp;quot;so proud&amp;quot; of the project, describing it as &amp;quot;groundbreaking&amp;quot; television.
