IIRC, ABC originally planned/scheduled about 11 episodes, but decided to cut back. Their spin: They weren’t sure the new series would be successful enough to warrant 11 episodes. [This first episode got about 14 million, making it #2 behind NCIS for the evening.] Last I read, they will run 2 episodes this fall and delay the remaining episodes (2 or ?) until the spring.

There are several stories out there, seemingly a new one each day. That the network's story keeps changing seems to be a clear indication that they're well aware of the popular buzz the show has created and are struggling to find a way to kill it without calling attention to the real reasons. Things were just so much easier for them before that pesky internet thingy... but they're working on that, too... /g

Even if it makes it to DVD, it could see some serious re-cutting/editing before that.

Perhaps, but I'll stick to my bet that it never makes it to DVD because I doubt the full series will ever be broadcast. I think they're simply trying to shuffle things around until people lose interest and then just quietly cancel it.
