8 'Moons' rising for ABC Family

ABC Family has picked up the scripted drama series "Three Moons Over
Milford" with an eight-episode order. The show, produced by Three
Moons Prods. in association with Touchstone Television, is described
as a quirky drama set in a small town whose residents take their lives
to the extreme -- quitting jobs, indulging vices and basically living
as if today were their last -- upon learning that a cosmic explosion
is threatening Earth's existence. Cast members include Sam Murphy,
Nora Dunn, Samantha Quan and Rob Boltin. "Three Moons" is set to begin
production in the spring, with a possible premiere date in the summer.

Tony Calguire...

Is this the same project we've been reading about in the development
listings for several months now?... The one that was previously
described as a "comet" or "asteroid" or something was going to crash
into the town?

I guess the producers finally figured out that you can't have an object
perpetually on a collision course with a target.

Erin Woodbridge's Bestest Friend, Ian J. Ball...

This concept has gotten worse with every iteration. Initially, I was
kind of curious (it sounded like it might be played sort of
'mytho-poetically'). But if this is how the concept ended up, count me
out.

I wonder which American cabler will pick up the rights to (Global's)
'Falcon Beach'??????
