Two new CW series put on hiatus
From Reuters, by way of The Hollywood Reporter:
Production on two new CW network has been shut down for up to six weeks after they hemorrhaged viewers in their second airings.
The romantic comedy "Valentine" averaged 1 million viewers Sunday, down from its premiere haul of 1.15 million; the acclaimed quirky comedy-drama "Easy Money" logged 750,000 viewers, down from its 1.08 million debut. Both are produced by independent producer MRC, which agreed in May to program the CW's Sunday night.
MRC said the hiatuses were planned to give writers time to catch up on scripts. Both shows are still on track to fulfill their 13-episode orders, the company added.
