TV Guide had this to say about “Easy Money” last week:

Media Rights Capital, the third party firm which was given the task of producing the CW’s Sunday-night programming, has shut down production on the scripted series Easy Money and Valentine. A spokesperson for MRC tells TVGuide.com the break is “a planned hiatus,” noting that writers and producers have been working non-stop since July. Both shows, says the rep, are expected to complete their original 13-episode orders.

As detailed in this Sunday’s ratings recap, Valentine dipped a bit from its already tepid premiere numbers (to just over a million viewers), while Easy Money plunged nearly 30 percent from its debut, to 753,000.

As the Payday Pundit predicted after viewing the first episode, the show will be off the air soon.

You can watch a teaser for the new drama on their website, but based on the 30-second clip, it looks like the show will be based on stereotypes and not on facts.

A special world premiere screening event of the new drama series “Easy Money,” an original one-hour drama about a family that runs a high interest loan business will take place on Sunday, September 14th.

“We are thrilled to premiere our original drama ‘Easy Money’ for audiences at the New York Television Festival a week prior to its debut in the CW Sunday night line-up,” said Keith Samples, President, Television, Media Rights Capital. “We have an all-star cast and wonderful stories told by Emmy-winning producers. We think the show will be a great addition to Sunday night television.”

“Easy Money” follows 28 year-old Morgan Buffkin (Hephner) who finds himself in charge of Prestige Payday Loans, his eccentric family’s enormously successful short-term loan business.
