No, Happy Town filming wrapped long before even the first episode aired. Happy Town suffered from an even worse name than Cougar Town, which apparently sent audiences packing.

I just want to say, Will, I think your reviews were excellent. I gave up on Alcatraz about five episodes ago, but I stuck with your reviews each week. They're really the only part of this show I'm going to miss.

Spot on! I was one of the other handful of people who watched Happy Town until the bitter end, and you're absolutely correct in everything you said. Happy Town was FAR from perfect, but everyone seemed to be having a lot more fun doing it, and for those audience members who watched it all the way through (really, we

I am AMAZED that no one got the reference to the Jugaloos with that.

I'm going to really miss The River when it gets canceled.

Oh, Marmaduke.

I hear Hosea is Sarah's biggest fan.

+1 Internets for working a Cougar Town reference in.

Not since DC have I ever cared less about who wins this show. Sarah is just cruel, Lindsay is a bitch, and Paul is a robotron, Worse, these probably are three of the best chefs they've had, and excluding Nyesha and Bev, I'm not sure who else from this season deserves to be in the final three. But the challenges that

Look man, it's just a suggested theory before I've had my first cup of coffee. Besides, have you noticed that no one seems to be fazed by being 40 years in the future in anything else they do?

All the mystery stuff on Alcatraz would be a lot more fun if we didn't have to sift through the random "Psycho of the Week" to get there.

It's impossible that a '63 would know the Mustang. When the Mustang was introduced in '64, it was a completely new model, never seen before outside of Ford HQ.

And you forgot the whole Western edge of the state, like El Paso, Marfa, and Alpine.

No, I pretty much thought it was Sarah. Last I checked, failing to add salt ranked at the top of Top Chef's list of "unforgivable sins."

We've been arguing at home whether this season or season 7 is worse, but I think tonight answered that conclusively. Season 7 was marked by completely unremarkable chefs (Kevin!), and failed utterly to properly make use of DC or its food scene, leaving the whole season a bore.

Ho hum. I wait for the inevitable return of Bev in two weeks like Snow White taking down the evil queens who are Lindsay and Sarah.

I also assume the heavy, constant rains were a nod to The Killing, which is neither better nor engaging, but is presumably a cop show, in as that its two main characters are cops, and there has been a killing.

This show keeps referencing much better, more engaging cop shows and films in subtle ways, like the fact that Dr. Hurley was eating cherry pie, or that Madsen drives a Bullitt Mustang.

I found out what numbers to play in the Lottery this week!

The other reason this show was constantly compared to Twin Peaks was the presence of Michael J. Anderson. He's quite strong in his role—and quite different from the Little Man from Another Place—but it's kind of hard to shake the fact that he has such a distinct presence in both.
