In case that feels familiar, it's basically what ABC did with "FlashForward", last season's attempt at creating "a new Lost".

And, like "FlashForward" before it, "The Event" has been haemorrhaging viewers week after week after week.

The ratings stink (worse than FF's!), and having a three-month hiatus, no matter how much the series is "re-worked" will not help it. "Genre"/"Cult" shows simply do not benefit from enormous mid-season breaks...especially shows which have a strong story-arc & require you to watch it every week...

I predict that "The Event" will be cancelled during the second half of the season.

I like The Event as well
