Two CW Shows Put on Hiatus...ALREADY!?! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 10-14-2008, 01:26 AM

Media Rights Capital, the third party firm which was given the task of producing the CW's Sunday-night programming, has shut down production on the scripted series Easy Money and Valentine. A spokesperson for MRC tells TVGuide.com the break is "a planned hiatus," noting that writers and producers have been working non-stop since July. Both shows, says the rep, are expected to complete their original 13-episode orders.

As detailed in this Sunday's ratings recap, Valentine dipped a bit from its already tepid premiere numbers (to just over a million viewers), while Easy Money plunged nearly 30 percent from its debut, to 753,000.

The unscripted In Harm's Way, which this week delivered 729K, remains out of harm's way, while the dysfunctional family comedy Surviving Suburbia (the fourth of MRC's initial offerings) isn't set to premiere until early 2009.

They're not being pulled from the schedule, I believe. It is just a production hiatus in making the episodes. 8 episodes each have been shot.

what is a Production Hiatus then a Regural Hiatus.

yikes!! Easy Money isn't even getting a million viewers? And to think, "bad" for CW used to be 2 million.

at least with ratings like those, Supernatural is pretty safe to return if it wants. I remember when One Tree Hill just narrowly escaped cancellation, and now it's one of the CW's biggest shows, and ratings aren't that much higher
