Also at the network, the "Reunion" of six high-school classmates from 1986 won't make it all the way to 20 years. FOX has decided against a full season of the high-concept drama, in which each episode tracks a year in the lives of six friends who, in the present day, are embroiled in a murder mystery.
If the show proceeds in its current year-per-episode structure, it would end in 1998, well short of the present-day murder investigation that's driving the story. The show's writers could also skip some years in the remaining episodes; a spokesperson for Warner Bros. TV, which produces "Reunion," says a decision hasn't been made yet about how the series will conclude.
After a decent start to the season, "Reunion" has faltered of late in the rough 9 p.m. Thursday timeslot. It's averaging just 4.3 million viewers per week and loses about a third of the audience from its lead-in, "The O.C."
