From TVGuide.com: "CBS' Harper's Island snuffed all comers, premiering to 10.5 mil."
From Los Angeles Times Harper’s Island review:
"If there’s one person who definitely shouldn’t die, it’s Sheriff Mills. "Harper’s Island" has a varied level of acting talent, but when Jim Beaver showed up it was just a whole different world. I want to cast Jim Beaver as my dad. The scene between Sheriff Mills and his estranged daughter was the highlight of the show. The sheriff should be in every episode. At the end he should kill the murderer, and then after it’s all over, he and I should go fishing."
Harper's Island, Jim Beaver and Katie Cassidy (Ruby) series, airs Thursdays at 10:00 PM on CBS. The 13-episodes series will end July 2, 2009.
