It started out interestingly. A new take on the series "V" for a modern time with a new look and feel, but unfortunately for ABC, mediocre ratings. The series has several ongoing storylines which makes it difficult for potential new viewers to catch on to what is going on. Now it appears that ABC has decided that instead of 13 new episodes, they will only greenlight 10.
It looks like the network is more concerned about shaking their moneymaker with shows like Dancing With The Stars and letting an interesting sci-fi show die on the vine. I'm not knocking DWTS (I don't watch it though) and I get that the program is paying the rent for ABC, but it looks like ABC's support for "V" is a little half-hearted at best.

Hot In Cleveland Renewed For At Least 20 More Episodes
The ratings have been pretty good, with an average of 4.7 million viewers since the show premiered July 16th. That's really something as the cable channel usually offers fare such as reruns of "The Andy Griffith Show," "All in the Family," "The Cosby Show" and "Everybody Loves Raymond".
The producer of the show is Sean Hayes who played Jack on Will & Grace. The show stars Bertinelli, Leeves and Malick as 3 friends who uproot from Los Angeles for Cleveland (I half expect to see Drew Cary putting in an appearance) and Betty White is the caretaker for the home the three rent.
So far the series had had a number of celeb guest stars on the show, such as John Schneider ("The Dukes of Hazzard"), seven-time Emmy winner Carl Reiner ("The Dick Van Dyke Show'), singer Huey Lewis and Amy Yasbeck ("Wings"). Other guest stars that have been announced for the first season include: Wayne Knight ("Seinfeld," "3rd Rock from the Sun"), Susan Lucci ("All My Children"), Emmy winner Shirley Knight ("Indictment: The McMartin Trial") and Juliet Mills ("Nanny and the Professor").
