Three Moons Over Milford: Series’ Future Eclipsed
To little surprise, the Disney Company’s ABC Family channel has announced the end of its original and quirky series entitled Three Moons Over Milford.
Three Moons was a unique drama set in the idealic small town of Milford, Vermont. Shortly before the pilot episode began, an asteroid struck the moon, shattering it into three large pieces and threatening to fall to Earth. The threat of an eventual “Judgment Day” causes many people to question their lives and live them to extremes by quitting jobs, indulging vices and living as if each day were their last. It starred Elizabeth McGovern and Rob Boltin as the heads of the Davis family.
Three Moons Over Milford got off to a slow start on August 6, 2006 on ABC Family. The ratings were less than spectacular (1.6 million viewers) — especially compared to another original ABC Family series, the very popular Kyle XY series. Unfortunately, despite having an original concept, Three Moons’ ratings didn’t get any stronger as the rest of eight episodes aired.
The last original episode aired on September 24, 2006 (a cliffhanger entitled “Goodnight Moon”). There is no word on a future DVD release but all eight episodes are available for download at
Apple’s iTunes store

this was such a captivating series! Anyone have any idea of how to get ABC to get the show back on? I can’t believe they just left us with a cliff hanger and then cancelled the show!

This is really weird. iTunes gave the pilot episode free in February and now I am into a series that is cancelled. I wish they would tell people it was cancelled.

I just downloaded the pilot episode (a freebie on iTunes) and am hooked. They should have never canceled it. It goes in the bin next to Firefly as a great show and cast but not enough….pop-appeal.

We were heartbroken to see three monns was not returning.This was one of the few shows all three generations of our family could watch together.ABC blew it in advertising most of those we spoke to never knew it was on. Those we told last summer loved it when they found it. Please bring it back.Should have had it on reg ABC for the summer maybe on Sunday nights. The only trouble was noone knew it was outthere.
