something to watch once the real season ends... by Titus05	Apr 9th, 2009 05:04:41 AM
I love me a good murder mystery...I'm in!
I only want to see this for the guy from Deadwood. by iamnicksaicnsn	Apr 9th, 2009 05:05:10 AM
If he's even in this. It still looks pretty lame though.
FUCK TITUS by iamnicksaicnsn	Apr 9th, 2009 05:05:39 AM
You ruined my trifecta.
Will this end... by The Fear	Apr 9th, 2009 05:11:03 AM
like Push, Nevada?
Is this connected to LOST?? by AshokZero	Apr 9th, 2009 06:59:04 AM
If not... skip.
The disappointing thing is... by Hagakure	Apr 9th, 2009 07:36:08 AM
This actually COULD have worked AND set the tone for other such series. I know it is all about milking a series for as much money as a network can get, but I think there is a real strong niche out there for a clever show that lies somewhere between short run and mini-series. If this had actually turned out to be a halfway-decent murder mystery where everyone knew was going to end in 12 shows so that you could get into it without fear of it being cancelled. It would have opened the door for more of these. Who says the only way to make money is to make a show last forever. (I am thinking of the short-lived 'Drive'. I would have loved if that show had been something like this and the let plot arc run its course for one long mini-series).
Maybe Harper's Island is the Lost island's by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 9th, 2009 08:21:43 AM
separated at birth twin.
I'm curious as how they work around by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 9th, 2009 08:23:22 AM
people being stuck on the island, lack of rescue, no FBI involvement or anything along those lines which may pop up. This is the 21st century. Hell even in the 20 century they had these things called phones and radios.
There used to be, by Timahh	Apr 9th, 2009 09:35:16 AM
a reality show that was like this. Murder in Small Town X i think was the name. Where there was scripted actors in the town and the contestants just sort of saw shit go down. No lie, only Reality show i ever watched. I'm debating if i should check this out, my tivo is already going overtime with NBCs stuff tonight.
I wanted this to work by Rob0729	Apr 9th, 2009 09:36:50 AM
Thought it might be good trash TV to watch after the regular season ends, but sounds like just derivative crap.

Isn't that what CBS specializes in, albeit to huge audiences?
Go through the cast list and you can predict by kabong	Apr 9th, 2009 10:10:35 AM
the order in which characters will be killed. Elaine Cassidy is getting the hype focus, so she will be in the final episode, perhaps even the killer. Unless the scripters cheat and reveal a character thought to be killed earlier is really still alive.
Third Ending in Clue... by Hagakure	Apr 9th, 2009 10:43:05 AM
...It's going to turn out to be a situation where there isn't just one killer. Stereotypical Character #6 killed Stereotypical Character #2. Stereotypical Character #11 killed Stereotypical Character #6. Etc., etc., etc.
should be a reality show by S_Rorschach	Apr 9th, 2009 11:55:04 AM
ratings gold.
That new CGI version of Erin Esurance... by Nasty In The Pasty	Apr 9th, 2009 02:20:51 PM
...SUCKS. Bring back sexy 2D Erin, please.
It's amazing how many shows have ripped off Survivor by lockesbrokenleg	Apr 9th, 2009 07:19:18 PM

I'm watchin this now, giving it a shot by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 9th, 2009 09:39:08 PM
I'm bored as hell. I can't wait for the Sons of Anarchy second season.
cast notes by Titus05	Apr 10th, 2009 12:28:29 AM
tht girl who plays the bride is HOT!...biggest name on the show, Harry Hamlin, got killed off in Episode 1...the dude that plays the bride's father is the creepy guy from Hostel 2
Reasons to watch? Katie Cassidy and Cameron Richardson. by sighborg	Apr 10th, 2009 03:58:42 AM
Just watched the show. I'll watch next week because I'll be in front of the tv for Supernatural at 9:00 anyway. Also Katie Cassidy(the bride) is gorgeous and Cameron Richardson takes her clothes off a lot. Good stuff.
Katie Cassidy by Titus05	Apr 10th, 2009 07:10:22 AM
Katie Cassidy is the daughter of David Cassidy (The Partridge Family)...damn she must have gotten her looks from her mother then
It was worth it to see Harry Hamlin cut in half, but... by Leafar the Lost	Apr 10th, 2009 08:00:32 AM
...aside from that it was horrible. Its just as bad as a teen horror movie, but with less violence and sex. I say, skip it, and start watching "Kings" so it gets a 2nd season.
Hamlin by The McPoyle Clan	Apr 10th, 2009 08:14:48 AM
You put Harry Hamlin, a pretty entertaining actor under most circumstances, set him up as a potentially interesting shit-stirring character, suggest a love triangle with the blonde who likes to take her clothes off...and then kill him off and let the blonde's nobody douchebag boyfriend live? WTF? Smart writing there. And what's with the annoyingly creepy kid? Then it all became clear when the producer of Jericho was behind this! Hope they're not stupid enough to kill off the hot blondes until the end.
The McPoyle Clan by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 10th, 2009 11:04:08 AM
Good call. Not much to add to that. A great actor, and interesting character; the fun loving drunk uncle with a bag of cash who feel the need to bring a concealed weapon, then they get rid of him. If this follows standard horror movie rules the girl who takes off the least clothes will survive, but I don't care because I'm done watching this turd. Bring back The Eleventh Hour even if it is a remake of the superior Patick Stewart British series. It's still better than this.
Elaine Cassidy is yummy by FamousEccles	Apr 10th, 2009 07:19:35 PM

cheesy, but kinda fun by ls420	Apr 11th, 2009 12:51:09 AM
will give it a try this summer.
I did a few days of PA work on this by Gwai Lo	Apr 11th, 2009 03:40:31 PM
on Bowen Island this winter. During that period of about a month or so where Vancouver got the worst snowfall I've experienced in my lifetime. One day of this PA work involved de-snowing a set with shovels, rakes, hoses and blowtorches. Apparently the show is set in the summer.
Reminds me of... by landocolt45	Apr 12th, 2009 10:38:50 PM
Anyone else remember Murder in Small Town X? This seems like a lame copy of that and scripted as well. We need a HBO version of this...
