From http://www.thefutoncritic.com today:

quote:
BOOMTOWN (NBC) - Producers NBC Studios and DreamWorks Television have decided to halt production for two weeks on the series' sophomore season following the completion of the sixth episode. The break is a reaction by the producers to NBC's concerns about the seventh and eighth installments, an informal two-parter much like the show's closing two episodes last season in which a dirty cop caused the death of a fellow officer. The Peacock had requested that the show shift to more stand-alone episodes as part of its renewal for a second season. Executive producer Graham Yost told Daily Variety there was a "a bit of miscommunication about the level of stand-aloneness" on the series, which led to the formation of a "mini-arc" for November sweeps. Rather than compromise the story, the storylines for both episodes as originally envisioned will be scrapped or possibily moved to a later date. The writers will spend the two week break working on new scripts for the seventh and eighth episodes.

Not good. This show is amazing. The Home Invasion show last year may have been the single best hour of TV I have ever seen.

In other words, NBC wants to have the option of pre-empting the show during sweeps like they typically do to these types of shows that they jerk around.

I must be cursed. Why is it shows that I like and think are really original keep getting screwed with?

I noticed that they are supposed to be going away from the "same story from many points of view" format. At least that's what TV Guide was saying. I think it really added to the show because you never knew exactly what was up until all the different points of view came together.

Oh well, I guess i should start bracing myself when it'll be gone since it looks like the spectre of death is hanging about it.
