on october 13, 2008, mrc stopped production on "valentine" for 4–6 weeks, due to failure to secure a bridge loan to complete the order. this meant that only eight of the 13 episodes ordered were filmed prior to the hiatus. two weeks later, mrc canceled both "valentine" and "easy money". on november 20, 2008, the cw announced that it was ending its sunday night agreement with mrc, instead programming the night itself.
