Digital Noise: FlashForward Hits Pause; Cougar Town Stops, Starts

Nov

ABC sure doesn’t balk at putting production on hiatus, does it? Last Thursday came word that production on Cougar Town would go on hiatus while star Courteney Cox handled some “family issues”. Yesterday it was confirmed that while the show did miss a day of production last week, they’ll resume production on November 29 after the already-planned hiatus for Thanksgiving this week. Confused? In short: everyone got to break for Thanksgiving a day early.

Meanwhile, ABC halted production on FlashForward for six days, but says it’s no big deal. “They started production early so that they could have the luxury to do this,”a rep tells EW’s Ausiello. “They want to maintain the high quality of the show, and this gives the writers the opportunity to do so.” In other words, FlashForward gets a Thanksgiving break, too.

After pulling all of this information together, I have to ask: Is any of this truly newsworthy? Heaps of drama over “production shut downs” that end up pretty much coinciding with what the rest of the U.S. is doing this week – taking a break for Thanksgiving. What do you think, worth reporting or much ado about nothing?
