    Last year we suffered through (or loved) CBS's failed Harper's Island. While I doubt CBS will attempt such a show again that hasn't stopped ABC. During the Oscars there was a short commercial for a new show beginning in April called Happy Town. I was sold immediately as it was advertised as "From the network that brought you Twin Peaks". This doesn't mean the show will be good, but anytime Twin Peaks is mentioned I'm immediately interested.

    From ABC.com: "Haplin, Minnesota, "Happy Town," has enjoyed an uneasy peace for five years, but all that is about to change. Still haunted by a number of unsolved kidnappings, the small town now faces a dark new crime that brings all its unresolved fears to the surface. Has the elusive "Magic Man" - who many believe is responsible for the bizarre abductions -- returned to claim another victim? As Haplin's mysteries are revealed, many of its prominent citizens' motives come under scrutiny as their own secrets and personalities are peeled back one layer at a time.
    "Happy Town stars Geoff Stults as Tommy Conroy, Sam Neill as Merritt Grieves, Lauren German as Henley Boone, Steven Weber as John Haplin, Amy Acker as Rachel Conroy, Sarah Gadon as Georgia Bravin, Robert Wisdom as Roger Hobbs, Jay Paulson as Eli "Root Beer" Rogers and Ben Schnetzer as Andrew Haplin."

    Happy Town     is a new murder mystery premiering on ABC April 28th.

      Okay, I'll bite. I would have anyway with Neill, Weber, and Acker involved.

      I read about this yesterday and then saw it in EW today. After seeing the names attached, I'm in, too.

      I was with it right up until the lame tagline at the end. "Happy Town! Don't Let the Name Fool You..."

      Any idea if this is a self-conatined series that will wrap up at the end of the season?

      Looks interesting and I like the name of the mysterious "Magic Man".

      Could be good.
