Well acording to the scuddle butt, this may be the last show if ratings don't improve. There is also a chance it will continue on Disney Family Channel. I don't know if I get that one?
I understand, it's meant to be dry and the acting is intentionally stilted. The plot (for those who never watched) involves a small town Push Nevada, which appears to be located somewhere North of Las Vegas and North of Overton and the Valley of Fire.
There is a crooked group that appears to be running a casino for money laundering, but the residents are strange as well. There is a local crook who runs the local saloon which offers "Slo-Dancing". Lets assume that's because Disney has a big hand in this.
There is over one million dollars, that was stolen and has been moving from person to person, almost every week. There is also a mysterious Bible that the three suits from the casino are trying to find.
Jim Prufrock is the IRS agent, who is the main character. Very quirky. The town is very dark and mysterious, although the bad guys are often clods and funny because they are so inept.
Then there is Mary, who works at Slomans. Oogle, oogle,oogle... she's a beauty.
Part of the show is figuring out the ONE clue each week and guessing the solution at the end of the season.
The BBs for this are a real hoot. People are finding that an orange and wagon wheel and a dart board all look the same. Meanwhile the clue last week was Storybook Hero and the answer was Peter Pan. The bad guy had a stuffed crock on his desk, looking at a wind up alarm clock. The music box played I Won't Grow Up" Jim had a ankle bracelet put on, under arrest and the Sheriff says, "We don't want you flying away like Tinkerbell" And a few more allusions.

Oh by the way there are real phone numbers for people and companies, which have messages. The Fake IRS office number appears to be in Reno and the pass code for Ira's voicemail box is 4321, which then plays a message. I haven't wasted the time calling.
So in all the show has a bunch of quirky little treats and mysteries, plus some funny twists. Too bad it runs up against CSI and wasn't given much of a chance. Oh by the way, if you haven't guessed, I enjoy it.
It is a convoluted mystery which has already had numerous twists and turns in every weeks show.
I'm still trying to get a good shot of the chips, since they are a variety of generics. Not all are matching styles and possibly not even the same Mfg.
The chips on the 17 and covering the four numbers, including 22 appears to have inserts, while the closest two are generic weel chips.
