Hidden Palms to end sooner

by Isabelle Carreau, posted Jun 14th 2007 1:07PM
Hidden PalmsI don't know if I had a premonition, but when I watched the Hidden Palms screener last summer I predicted that the series wouldn't last long. The CW somewhat made my prediction come true earlier this week when they announced the series would wrap up sooner.

Hidden Palms was first slated to be a mid-season show and 13 episodes had been ordered. During production, the show's episode number was lowered to 8 and CW decided to keep it for the summer.
The CW gave the show a good chance to gather viewers by not only airing it in its Wednesdays at 8 p.m. timeslot but by playing encores on Sundays. But to no avail, the network decided to wrap up the series as fast as possible so it could probably put a show that will gather more viewers.

In a press release, The CW announced that it would stop airing encores on Sundays and that the series would wrap up on July 4 instead of the 18. However, the network partially kept in mind the fans when making the decision as all produced episodes will air.

Here is the schedule for the rest of Palms' short season:

  • June 13 at 8 p.m.: Episode 1.03 "Party Hardy"
  • June 20 from 8 to 10 p.m.: Episodes 1.04 "What Liza Beneath" and 1.05 "Mulligan"
  • June 27 from 8 to 10 p.m.: Episodes 1.06 "Dangerous Liaisons" and 1.07 "Stand By Your Woman"
  • July 4 at 8 p.m.: Episode 1.08 (title unknown for now)

The network advertises the July 4 episode as a "season finale." However, it's highly unlikely that the series will get a second season unless fans all rally up friends and family to watch the final episodes live.

I cant beleive the ended hidden palms.
some people said that it didnt have a plot.
But does most shows have a plot?
what about all those dumb disney shows?
they dont really have plots.
And we finally get a good show on the Cw & what do they do take it away. I know some people have lives in the summer but other people still made timee to watch the hidden palms. It was an awesome show.
i even went to friends house && watched it.
Okay so i didnt intend to watch it at first. i saw a preveiw for it one day when i watched one tree hill.
&& then i started watching both shows.
&& i love them both!!
ESPECIALLY HIDDEN PALMS>
I would really lilke to see the 2nd season to hidden palms..

This show is the one thing that I looked foward to, since one tree hill had its season finalie. Why would the Network set the finalie on the 4th? NO one is home. I had to watch it on-line. I'm PRAYNG for another season. ALL my friends watch it (so does my mom, sometimes) This is the one show i like on the CW besides one tree hill. They need to make a second season.

Hidden Palms is an amazing show cancelling it will be the CW's biggest mistake... since they are saposably professionals you would think they would realize that in the summer most people are outside and on vacation so there arnt as many people watching tv

i will be so pissed if they end hidden palms to me that's one of the best shows on the whole network just give it a chance it'll get more viewers think about it its a local channel people don't really watch local channels anymore because they think there's nothing on but if the see previews for hidden palms they be on the CW every wednesday.

well i think that hidden palms is a good show.I'm pissed that its getting canceled so soon. no ones ever gives shows a chance anymore.To bad they had to put this show in the summer because people have lives in the summer. Its hard to get viewers in the summer so to have almost 2 million viewers isn't bad.not to mention they barely advertised this show. it was almost like they wanted it to fail.Comment 16 is right. i just feel bad that i missed some of the shows when it was on t.v and i watched them online. Ugh I just keep getting screwed first the oc gets canceled now this..pssht. ugh and the finale is on the 4th..wow what a dumba**s. There is no way people are going to be home on the 4th!!!All i know is that i am really upset about this show and my other shows getting booted it's gonna be hard to watch another series because It'll probably just get canceled again!

P.s Michael Cassidy is so hott!! :) wow

INSANE.
Why bother watching a show that has no support whatsoever from their own network? It's a slap in the face to all involved with Hidden Palms -- and frankly, I'm REALLY enjoying this program. It's a LOT better than lots of the junk being aired...and just the kind of series an upstart like The CW needs to make a name for itself. And don't they take TIVO into account?? I know MANY people who are Tivo'ing the show, yet that's not part of the ratings!

At this point, who knows what's to happen, but it looks bleak. I've enjoyed the show -- no, LOVED the show -- and hope to God there could be a 2nd season, allowing HP to stabilize and find its fan base.

It's disheartening seeing a show like this be burned off during the summer when no one's watching, let alone airing the finale on July 4th!
