This is the very reason that network television is destined to go the way of the Edsel. A perfectly mysterious story; albeit a weak dialogue script. Instead of trying to take advantage of a perfect marketing and entertainment opportunity, network TV management decides to scrap a show that could have had a limited, but profitable future. What you should have done is to have built momentum by using the twist of the story line and kept people guessing by faking the termination of the show and leaving clues about bring it back. Not the first time networks have missed this sort of perfect marketing approach. It demonstrates an inability of network execs to demonstrate vision beyond the end of their noses. Sad when the only vision is limited to pitiful reality shows.

I just got through watching the last 2 episodes of Happy Town online. I loved loved loved them! So many twists to the mystery. I adore Sam Neill and he did an amazing job of acting. I, also, especially like the actors who play Sheriff Tommy and his dad and Dan. There are others that I like really well too but I won’t list them here.

I really get irritated when media people seem to think that everyone has a computer, everyone has Internet access, everyone has an iphone, ipad, blackberry, or you name it. For various reasons, including economics, geographical availability, and interest (some people who are on a computer all day at work don’t want to sit and stare at a computer at home and some people are just Not Interested in Technology) Not Everyone Has a Computer or if they do they Don’t Have Internet Access and not everyone owns other electronics, etc. Even the people who Have Computers only have the basic broadband (high speed Internet) and some still have dial-up which makes video watching online pretty much of an impossibility.

I was going to stop watching “The Gates” (after the pilot aired) because of the uncertainty of new shows continuing to air. My cousin is continuing to watch it so I decided (since we like to talk about our favorite shows on the phone – she’s out-of-state) I would do the same. But you know what? The pilot was really really good and the second episode of “The Gates” was So Amazing that immediately after it finished, I actually found myself feeling a “stab of fear” that ABC would be cancelling this brilliant show soon and I felt such a horrible feeling of loss. It was like having the best meal that you’ve ever had in your life and then wondering if it will ever be served again. I’ve always had an active imagination so when I watch a show I become heavily invested in it very quickly if it is a really good show. Hopefully, “The Gates” will be alive and well – at least till the end of the season. A show that I loved on a different network cancelled it after the first season so the minute that it was released on DVD I snapped it up on amazon.com. The end of Season 1, while open-ended, provided enough answers for me that I was satisfied enough with the ending tp buy the DVD. I watch it about 2 or 3 times a year, every year and I get much enjoyment from it.
