ABC strikes again...

Just read on Entertainment Weekly's website that ABC is pulling "Happy Town" for the next two weeks for some Primetime special and a movie...seriously ABC can you stop doing this to me? You get me into a show and then pull it off the air only to bring it back for a few more episodes some random day each week in the summer and then it ends...or you just cancel shows that are awesome.

Examples:
-Eli Stone (got 2 seasons with the second split up and finishing over the summer)

-Samantha Who (2 seasons same thing with finishing over the summer)

-Life on Mars (1 season but at least it got an ending)

-Eastwick (not even a full season, pulled then brought back to finish but skipped an episode and then ended and episode before they stated it would)

-and now Happy Town (I can't say it was awesome yet cause I've only watched the 1st episode...the 2nd episode is still on my DVR but come one it was so the new "Twin Peaks". It was odd and intriguing and makes you wonder WTF...and Sam Neil was great as a creapy guy...)

With Lost ending in a few weeks I'm running out of reasons to like ABC...all that's left is Modern Family and Cougar Town and I'd be ok watching those online so as not to give that network my ratings...

As I've said about ABC for the last few years...ABC stands for Already Been Canceled!

What did you think of Happy Town? Should ABC at least give it a chance?

Twin Peaks

I've discovered that the Crime and Investigation Network (i love these random cable channels) is airing Twin Peaks. I've heard good things about this early 90's show so I thought i'd give it a try. So far i've seen about 6 episodes and it's very weird to say the least. The entire premise is "Who Killed Laura Palmer". That's basically what the entire series purpose is to figure out the answer to this question. There are some very strange things about the people who live in the town of Twin Peaks that adds a sense of "WHAT?" to the show - like the log laddy whose log (literally a log) talks to her, or Laura Palmer's mother who has strange visions and Agent Cooper's meaningful dreams. It seems like an ordinary Whodunit type of show only instead of solving a weekly crime it's one crime the entire series (and the movie that was made as a prequel). I think the series is also avalaible to watch at CBS.com so if you're a TV nerd (espcially one who likes Sci-Fi) you will like this show. I can't say the end will justify the means since i have yet to watch the entire series but I will get back to you on that at a later date.

What are you watching new or re-runs?

Happy watching
