I watched the pilot tonight. It was pretty decent, if a bit workmanlike. It was eerily reminiscent to that XF episode "The Rain King," which leads me to believe that "Haven" will be less "Twin Peaks" (which I was hoping for) and more "X-Files" / "Eureka." It's not really what I expected, but Stephen McHattie is going to be in an upcoming episode so I'll stay tuned.

Anyone else got any thoughts on it?

I've DVRed it, but we went to see Despicable Me tonight, so it'll be tomorrow night or so before I can review it.

Saw it. Enjoyed it. Will be watching it again to get a better feel for it. It helps that it came on right after Eureka, and if it continues to do so, I will most likely continue to watch it.

Not a big fan of Stephen King, but I loved Twin Peaks and the Xfiles.

Uh, I caught the first episode, and then it quickly died. I don't think ABC even burned off all of the episodes in the can.

Back on target for Haven...meh. It was a lackluster pilot, but I'll give it four or five more episodes for them to get their footing before I discard it.

Happy town is cancelled? That's some BS right there. It was actually pretty good by the end of the season.

I'm really getting pissed off at networks cancelling their shows before they have a chance to find an audience. Star Trek: TNG wouldn't have made it through the first season to be one of the best (if not the best) Star Trek show ever (the first season blew).

Oh well.

From its Wikipedia entry, ratings section:

Quote:
Despite a promotional push from ABC, its debut episode performed poorly, scoring a 1.7/5 among 18-49's, with 5.2 million viewers overall, roughly scoring the same numbers in the same time period that predecessors Ugly Betty and Eastwick had during their run. In its second outing, the ratings slipped as did its audience, scoring a 1.2/4 among 18-49's and a 2.6/5 overall with 3.8 million viewers watching.

On May 11, 2010, ABC announced that it was pulling Happy Town from the schedule for two weeks, planning to resume its episode run on June 2; with the 5 remaining episodes airing on consecutive weeks. On May 17, 2010, ABC confirmed that Happy Town was among the shows cancelled from the 2009-2010 season. On June 18, 2010, ABC officially cancelled the series after its June 16, 2010 episode aired. On July 1, 2010 ABC.com released the two remaining episodes online.

Oh yeah, as soon as you said it was cancelled I checked it out on wiki. Still annoyed though.
