ABC's Brian Comes Up Short (But Doesn't)
An ABC spokesperson confirms for TVGuide.com that J.J. Abrams' What About Brian will now air only 19 episodes this season, as opposed to 22. The rep, though, stresses that the abbreviated run is "no reflection on the show in any way." Rather, "ABC had no room on the schedule for those [three episodes], so it has decided to pull back."
For more good Brian news, watch for our Wednesday Q&A with guest star Stacy Keibler, whose character looks to be the answer to many fans' prayers — and just in time for Valentine's Day, no less!

Hey Matt, have you heard anything about Traveler debuting anytime soon? This episode reduction should have Brian ending in March, leaving April/May for Traveler's 8 episodes. The Monday night shows would be horrible lead-ins but there aren't many holes in the schedule where it would fit anyway. Personally, I wouldn't put it on right after 24 in fear of the Lost factor, despite the two being on different networks but I just want to see it get a chance somewhere.

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this, Matt.
And no thanks necessary for the tip

Boo! I really like this show, and wish more people would give it a chance. I guess because it really is not a "flashy" show, people don't notice it. But I like the character development and would like to see it go past this season to see how each person deals with everything that is going on this season.

I agree with KATZEN. Brian has great character development. It's one of those shows where the actions of the characters are consistent and make sense. On Monday nights I record Heroes, 24 and Studio 60 but I just have to see Brian live!
