Question: I am still annoyed at the network and also at the writers for canceling and not wrapping up the murder mystery on
Reunion. I seem to remember a quirky show that was on ABC on Thursday nights back when NBC ruled the night. The show was about an IRS agent sent to investigate a murder in a desert town. It was odd, like
Twin Peaks, but was canceled mid-season. The writers gave the audience a quick conclusion to the story. Yes, it was not developed and it was thrown together as the IRS agent was being chased from this crazy town, but at least it was closure for the audience who invested time in watching. What are your thoughts, and do you remember the show on ABC? Thanks.
Answer: You're thinking of
Push, Nevada, which aired for eight self-indulgently unwatchable weeks in 2002. I didn't care much for it — for my taste, this was a case of a show way too in love with its own quirkiness— but at least when the boom was lowered, the writers rushed an ending into place, no matter how nonsensical it inevitably turned out to be. The
Reunion situation is much more aggravating, on both the network and producer fronts. My New Year's resolution: considering
Reunion a dead issue. I won't be bringing it up again.
