abc to break up ‘v’ debut
Posted by on 26 September 2009 with 4 Comments

I know a lot of you guys have probably already heard the news, but it looks like we won’t get to see the bulk of “V” until March.

An ABC spokeswoman confirmed exclusively to EW that V, the network’s much anticipated reboot of the old NBC miniseries, will air for a limited, four-episode run in November and then return to the schedule after the Olympics in March. News of the show’s unique rollout comes amid rampant speculation that the Warner Bros. TV drama was undergoing a serious overhaul after news broke that it would halt production for a two-week hiatus. Now, an insider confirms, the hiatus will extend for another four weeks to prepare for the show’s previously announced Nov. 3 debut. An ABC spokeswoman says it was always the network’s intent to the run the science fiction drama in “pod” form to treat it more like event programming.

    Pod? I guess we’ll have to see if “V” becomes an event? When you think about it, people may be more interested in “V” then bobsleding. I’m not giving up hope yet 🙂

    I think by pod, they mean something along the lines of miniseries or something? I really don’t know for sure, but that whole aspect of it didn’t sound all that horrible. The only thing I am kind of iffy on is the big hiatus between the opening bit of the show and the rest of the season.

    You know, now that I think about it–if the show gets really good ratings in its first few weeks? They’ll be much more eager to put it back on the air as soon as the Olympics are over. So maybe we shouldn’t give up hope yet. They’re advertising it pretty well, aren’t they?

    Maybe it’s better to wait, the Olympics can draw alot of viewers away.
