Happy Town

Anyone else watch this last night on ABC? Thoughts?

I liked it, but it didn't grab me. Some of the WtF moments during the last few minutes were a little too WtF for me. I'm giving it one more episode.

I hope it does well cuz I'm an Amy Acker fan.

Somehow it managed to start off even worse than Harper's Island. I'll probably watch for a while, but I was not impressed. I was actually kind of happy that things started getting a bit weird at the end because the beginning was so slow!

If it wasn't for Amy Acker and Sam Neil, I would have passed after ten minutes.

Ditto.

I was disappointed in it. I had really liked the previews.

I'm willing to give it another episode or 2. After one ep, I'll have to give the advantage to Harper's Island, but I have faith in Amy Acker and Sam Neil.

Does anyone know how many episodes it's scheduled to run? Is it supposed to be a limited-run type of show like Harper's Island? I was under the impression that it was, but now that I'm thinking about it, I don't really know where I got that idea.

This is probably not a full and complete answer, but IMDb is listing 8 episodes at this time. I only watched the first twenty minutes or so on hulu. I'm taking it by comments upthread that I am probably going to enjoy the ending, but so far it's not hooking me.

I'll be honest. I tried to watch it both live and online - couldn't get through more than 10 minutes of it.

2 episodes. Is that a record? To be honest though it was only an ok show so it doesn't bother me that much. It does annoy me when the networks are so quick to pull a show though. Makes you wonder why you bother to invest any time and interest in any new show when you can't trust the stupid networks to at least see the run through. Eight episodes isn't that long and they could easily have moved it to another time slot.
