ABC's V on Hiatus Until 2010
ABC’s rebooted and dolled-up sci-fi drama V debuted to an impressive audience of 14.3 million viewers on Nov. 3, and despite the criticisms about mediocre writing and humdrum story lines, it still kept 10.7 million viewers for its second week—not half bad for a show still in its infancy. Still, these numbers aren’t enough to make the network rethink the series’ preemptive hiatus, one that’s been planned from the beginning.

Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on ABCSeinfeld won’t be the only Must-See reunion this fall, as the Friends cast will be dropping by Courteney Cox’s new sitcom. We were initially worried that this was a reality show inspired by 30 Rock’s “MILF Island,” but it’s actually pretty funny thanks to creator Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Spin City).
