Harper's Island minus the Island and the wedding but with a little Stephen King Needfull Things thrown in?

I watched it and found it just quirky enough that I will watch it again this week.

Is it going to be like Harper's Island...set # if episodes?

I have read there are 8 episodes. They have shown 2 so there are 6 to go.

I wish they'd do these in the middle of summer when there's nothing else on.

Some sad news for fans of ABC’s Happy Town (Hello? Anyone? Bueller?). The poor man’s Twin Peaks is getting yanked off the air after last week’s airing. According to ABC, the ratings-challenged drama — which will be replaced with a Primetime special on May 19 and a rebroadcast of Transformers on May 26 — will return on June 2 with the first of five remaining episodes.

This article says we do find out the identity of the Magic Man in Ep 8.

"When news broke yesterday that ABC would be pulling Happy Town after tonight’s episode for the rest of May Sweeps — the show is scheduled to return June 2, with the first of five remaining episodes — I wasn’t surprised. Ratings aside, I’d seen the first two episodes and had no idea what was happening on the show. When I told that to star Geoff Stults (newly-appointed sheriff Tommy Conroy) before the drama’s premiere, he said that was the proper response: “It’s not CSI, where at the end of the episode, you’re like, ‘Oh, that was the killer.’ That’s not what we’re going for. We want people to be along for the ride.” He said the writers had thought about how to create a slow-build mystery that still gives people enough to get them invested so they keep coming back. That’s why starting with tonight’s third episode, we’d be given “mini resolutions to things" in each hour — culminating in the identity of the Magic Man in episode 8."

ABC cancelled this show. The final 2 eps will air on TV on a Saturday later in July. But they have put the last 2 eps up online at ABC.com

I read a quick recap of what happens and I doubt I will even bother watching it. They reveal the Magic Man in the last few minutes but most other questions are not answered and just confused people. Plus there was no way anyone would have guessed the identity of the MM.
