“Eastwick” Goes “Poof”
“Eastwick” ran out o
f magic on Monday, and will be “poof-”ing out of existence. The crime-show drama, “The Forgotten” will, on the other hand, be extended five more episodes.
“Eastwick” is the least-watched show on ABC this season with an average of 6.5 million viewers weekly. ABC said the cast of the Wednesday night drama will finish filming its order, and all 13 episodes will run at some point. The next episode will air on Nov. 25.
“The Forgotten,” which stars Christian Slater, was extended to 18 episodes. The Jerry Bruckheimer-produced crime drama averages 8.6 million viewers on Tuesday nights. However, executive producer Luke Reiter is not expected to continue with the show.
Separately, ABC has nixed plans to air the five-episode reality-series “Let’s Dance,” beginning Nov. 23. “Dance,” hosted by Kathy Griffin, was to have featured celebs re-enacting famous dance routines. Supposedly, the network was having issues finding celebs to participate in the show during the holiday season.
Instead of “Dance,” ABC will air six episodes of “Find My Family,” a reality series in which people find long-lost families or loved ones.
The CW’s “Melrose Place” and CBS’ “Accidentally on Purpose” also got extended to 18 episodes, a little short of the standard 22.
