ABC PULL NEW SERIES "HAPPY TOWN" UNTIL JUNE

Released by Miss TV Girl

ABC has decided to pull the freshman mystery series "Happy Town" from its May schedule.  For the life of me I do not understand how a network expects for a show to gain any sort of momentum when it is pulled after just 2 episodes.  I am so glad this show was not on my radar because I would be highly pissed right now. 

Now don't get me wrong I understand that television does not exist just to make Miss TV Girl happy, but that it is a business and if a program is underperforming week after week,  the network has no choice but to pull the program from the lineup.  I am just saying that moves like this make it really hard to invest in a program like "Happy Town" that centers around a mystery.

"Primetime:What Would You Do" will replace "Happy Town on May 19.   ABC will air the remaining final five episodes beginning Wednesday, June 2.

"Happy Town" debuted on April 28 to disappointing ratings and dropped a considerable 29 percent on its second airing.

SNEAK PEEK: ABC'S MIDSEASON MYSTERY "HAPPY TOWN"

Released by Miss TV Girl

This preview didn't really make me want to tune in , but it didn't make me want to quite tune out either.

" Happy Town"will premiere at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday, April 28. It will fill the spot currently held by "Ugly Betty," which will have completed its final season by then.

ABC has ordered eight episodes of "Happy Town," which means it will likely run into the early part of the summer.

The show, which comes from the "Life on Mars"/"October Road" brain trust of Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Scott Rosenberg, tells the story of an outwardly idyllic small town in Minnesota that's rocked by the presumed return of a kidnapper who terrorized the town in the past. A new crime causes a bunch of secrets to bubble to the surface
