Harper’s Island was awful. The episode before last was very good, I definitely enjoyed it, but this one was so bad it made all of the characters look like morons.

How many of them had guns and couldn’t shoot Wakefield when he was standing there, or ran out of the room cowardly and someone else died? And no one can fight with him physically at all, even several of the men? Does the killer have super strength too that they didn’t mention?

Kings, however, has still been decent.

In response to Jim’s statement that he “must be one of the only people who like[s] it, that is certainly not true. Have you seen this petition:http://tvseriesfinale.com/articles/kings-petition/

KIngs is awesome and there is a growing fan-base for those that know it exists, since there is virtually no advertisement.

Harper’s Island was EPIC!! I cried when Cal and Chloe died! It’s one of the best shows ever! I wish CBS would of picked it up for another season next summer!

I’ve said Jimmy was the partner for the last 5 episodes, but when they id’d him this week, I agree he is a red herring and it will be a son/daughter of wakefield. Great show after the first few episodes, for this concept to work it has to catch a buzz right away so it doesn’t get banished to Saturdays immediately.

I must be one of the only people who like Eli Stone (kinda like Boston Legal lite) and Kings. Too bad. Get rid of all of those vapid reality shows. I just don’t get their appeal.

Kyle, Eli Stone is a terrible show, don’t waste your money. Like the title implies, you have to be stoned to enjoy it. It has annoying characters and preachy plots, not to mention terrible musical numbers.

Harper’s Island is one of the best shows on TV, and I’m very surprised that CBS did not pick it up for another season next summer.

Having loved murder mysteries all my life, and it sounding like Agatha Christie’s 10 Little Indians/And Then There Were None, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the second killer is Booth.

Booth is Wakefield’s son and Abby’s 1/2 brother and he helped Wakefield with the murders…..let’s hope I’m right, cause if it’s Henry or Jimmy I will be disappointed.

Bad Robot, Pepsi! How can there even be any question of that? For all I know you weren’t even alive in 1984 when his hair caught fire filming a Pepsi commercial (while singing Billie Jean) when there was a special effects malfunction. I’m sure you can find videos on You Tube if you search “michael jackson pepsi commercial hair on fire”

I just discovered Castle last week. It was recommended to me. I’ve now watched 2 of its episodes in repeats. Good show and it will be on at a good time (for me anyway) of 10:00 Mondays in the fall. I’ll definitely give it a shot in the fall.

Harper’s Island was terrible. Idiots had tons of opportunities of killing Wakefield and they failed. And I’m going to be pissed if Jimmy is the second killer (hopefully the last scene was suppose to distract our attention from Henry or Sully ).

Harper’s Island has really been a great ride! Wish more of this would be on every summer. Love it!! I wonder if more people are DVRing it like me? I also watched a couple of eps online, I guess that doesn’t count either.

I think that Jimmy was working with the Sheriff as an undercover type cop or to protect Abby for him. I also think that Henry is the other killer – there are ALOT of suspicious things that he has done and instead of over protecting Abby it seems to be more controlling. Can’t wait for the finale.

@Tom, I like Harper’s Island too but there is not going to be a second season. I was also shocked about Cal and Chloe although I liked Cal better, Chloe got under my skin. I really hope Sully is next he bugs me.

My Saturday night and today were spent downloading season one of True Blood and finishing off the one season of Blade – The Series. Got one more episode of True Blood of season one, then I can start on season two.

Then I get to work on season two of Burn Notice, having finished off season one. So many downloads, so little bandwidth…

Poor Ian McShane.

I love Harper’s Island. If people aren’t watching it, it’s their loss. I hope a cable network picks up the second season. That said, I can’t believe Cal and Chole are dead. I was shocked.

Harper’s Island was mostly great for me, only because there were a couple of character decisions/horror cliches that really bugged me.

Something is going on with Jimmy, he didn’t just survive the explosion but he also survived another scene in Ep 11 that seemed very suspicious. The Sheriff was also investigating him and in the previews for Ep 12/13 then he told Abby that he had something to “confess”. Maybe it’s not the obvious explanation, but he’s not just a red herring.

I think Jimmy is a red herring. I think he’s just there to throw us off the scent of the real killer. I’m thinking Henry.

t – Jimmy has a police record and tried to take Trish’s gun while she slept. He somehow magically survived a massive explosion set up by Wakefield.

Other than the fact that Shea didn’t seem to care when her husband was killed, what makes you think the accomplice is anyone BUT Jimmy?

I came upon E! televsion and again they were showing the exact same SNL episodes. Why?

Seeing Will Ferrel do his Frat boy character on update was funny, but I’d rather watch Adam Sandler and crew do the Greek Gyro guy with the rest of the crew in that sketch that ‘went on too long’. But it was FUNNY! Please, somebody get some network to show those episodes. I’m dying over here!

t, I don’t think it’s Shae, I’m thinking Henry or Jimmy. I think Henry is Abby’s half brother and Jimmy has something to do with what’s been happening, but I think Henry does too.

huddy80, I agree with you too, CBS was considering a second season of Harper’s Island but with a different plot and cast if the ratings were good but as we all know the ratings were not good enough so it’s not happening. Too bad though a second season with a different plot and characters would have been interesting.

By: t

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:45:18 +0000

Harper’s Island keeps getting better and Kings keeps getting worse i still watch both though
Harper’s island will air a repeat next week and in 2 week will have a 2 hour finale
im still dieing to find out who the 2nd killer is personally i’m thinking Shea

Harper’s Island was really good last night. There was a lot of drama that unraveled and it is set up for a really great finale in two weeks. This show just got better and better as it went along and it really was a great storyline. It’s really too bad that this show is ending but I can see why they could not make this into a second season.

I watched Harper’s Island. Pretty good episode. Can’t be bothered with Kings anymore, other than Ian McShane it’s terrible.

I’m happy that the Saturday ratings are being posted here and not just being ignored. I watched Harper’s Island. Shame it had to be tossed to Saturday night and canceled just before it started to pick up. The first few eps were kind of mediocre but after that it got really good. Still, at least it’s getting 3.5 million. That’s better than I can say for some other shows that were given better slots during the week, like Dollhouse (which I watch too). Still, I think those got better 18-49 ratings, which I guess is more important (which I don’t really get…why is 18-49 more important than the total number of viewers?).
