Harper’s Island: No Chance For Season 2

Posted by taylor blue on July 14, 2009 | No Comments

I admit that I was one of the first people to jump on the bus to watch Harper’s Island. I tried to watch it for the first couple of episodes, I even watched the first one twice to try and get into it. But there was no hope for me. I really like the actress, Katie Cassidy, she was on Supernatural, so I had to at least give it a try. It then got changed to a different night in the States. Here in Canada it stayed on the same night.

I saw a bit of the Season Finale/Series Finale a couple of days before it was aired in the States. I thought for sure I would be able to watch it, but couldn’t get through it. I was interested to see who was left. I heard great things about the finale if I would have stuck around.

I loved the premise of the show. A organized scripted Survivor. At least you know what you are getting into for this, where when you watch Survivor or The Hills you hope that it isn’t scripted. Maybe they need to fine tune the script a bit. I might have tried to watch season 2 if they tried to make it.

Has Your Show Been Renewed For Next Season?

I am obsessed with television. I’m really sorry. It kind of goes with the territory though when I love to focus on television shows. The networks have released most of the yes’ and no’s for the 2009-2010 season. (I’m still holding out for Chuck!)

I decided I would pick some of my favorites from each network and tell you if they have been renewed or not (Or could be renewed or canceled). And if you find a puddle of water at the bottom of the post don’t mind it. It’s just because I’ve cried over my canceled shows. (This year though I think the only one that I watch that is in jeopardy is Chuck.)

Harper’s Island Invites You to Tour the Spooky Island

Posted by Jessica Rae on March 25, 2009 | 2 Comments

Get ready for your short albeit busy visit to Harper’s Island this spring. By summer, your trip will be over. And what will you have learned? Well, you’ll hopefully learn who the killer is! Harper’s Island is a TV event on CBS that will last for 13 episodes (spooky number!) between April and July.

I’ll be watching because it sounds like an interesting concept – and I love this type of stuff! It seems like they’re going to take a really interesting horror movie and stretch it out into more than a miniseries, but less than an actual TV series (which is smart). I wish they had done that with Scream!

The episodes will begin on Thursday, April 9th at 10:00, and end on July 2nd. With every episode comes another death. By the finale, only one person will have survived. 

The series stars Katie Cassidy (Supernatural) as “Trish Wellington,” Elaine Cassidy (The Others) as “Abby Mills,” and Christopher Gorham (Ugly Betty) as “Henry Dunn.”

The premise is that a group of people have traveled to the island for a wedding. “Abby Mills, whose mother was killed on the island by a homicidal maniac’s rampage seven years ago, journeys home for the first time since the horrific event for the wedding of her best friend, Henry Dunn. Henry, the boy next door, is marrying the woman of his dreams, Trish Wellington, a beautiful and wealthy heiress. But as the wedding week begins, people start dying. Every episode, someone is killed. Wedding guests and island locals, every person is a suspect. No one is safe. No one can be trusted.”
