V - Season 2 - 13 Episodes Order Cut Down to 10
19 Oct 2010
Cancelled ShowsI hear the order of ABC's sophomore sci-fi drama V is being reduced from 13 to 10 episodes for scheduling reasons. ABC last week announced that V will return January 4 and will air in Dancing with the Stars' result show slot at 9 PM on Tuesdays, following fellow sci-fi drama No Ordinary Family. That gives V a 12-episode window until the spring season premiere of Dancing on March 29, but I hear the period is expected to include 2 preemptions, leading to V's order getting trimmed. Since the series is still filming, V producers will adjust the storyline for a proper season ending.

The suits at ABC are obviously mentally deficient in some capacity. With all of their new shows bombing, the one thing ABC doesn't need is FEWER programs to broadcast. If the season runs long, so what?
ReplyDeleteIdiots.
Well, these are the people who plan on remaking The Incredible Hulk. They're obviously not Rhodes Scholars.
My guess? That the schedule snafu is BS and that it's more about saving money...
ReplyDeleteQuite possibly, yes.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about the money. DISNEY is in trouble overall so the pressure to produce cheap programming is on- Dancing with the Stars makes them heaps with little production costs. Expect more reality and less scripted programming until Disney can sell off its TV divisions to someone who cares about programming. Lets hope they can work out a solid ending as a short order is pretty much a death sentence. Good news? Means Laura Vandervoort will be available for a Supergirl spinoff from Smallville....
ReplyDeleteridiculous first abc cuts the gates which was turning out to be a pretty good show then they cut v's episode order. im so not impressed
ReplyDeletethat's a major disappointment. it's one of my favourite shows on tv!
ReplyDeleteCouldn´t agree more
ReplyDeleteTHAT SUCKS x:(
ReplyDeleteWe said the same thing when they announced the remake of V, and it's turned out to be pretty great. Hulk might turn out that way, too. Dont knock it until you've tasted it.
ReplyDeleteHey now, speak for yourself. I was looking forward to the V remake from the time they completed casting the show.
