Daisies ratings are a lot better than Journeyman. Hard to tell if they’re where ABC wants them, but the numbers could be good enough. Of course with the strike now and the strikes to come next year it’s entirely possible the entire 2007 season will just be thrown away for a fresh start January 2009.
"Daisies" problem is that it's an expensive show to make. This is becoming a problem lately, with huge sums being pumped into pilots to make them look amazing, followed by the discovery that you can't repeat that look every week without making the show cost-prohibitive. If those shows do anything less than top-10 ratings, with the commensurate premium on ad time, they don't make sense to keep making.
