'666 Park Avenue' ending episodes and promised closure may never happen

According to TV Series Finale on Dec. 22, ABC may not give viewers the closure it promised on its canceled series "666 Park Avenue."

When ABC canceled the series, they promised to air 13 episodes and provide closure for the show's viewers to some of the many questions raised by the somewhat strange, supernatural show and the mysteries surrounding the Drake.

The next episode of the four remaining was to air on Jan. 6. However, reports began appearing that suggested ABC may hold those last four episodes until the summer. A look at the schedule gives that theory credence as the Sunday 10 p.m. slot has been filled with other things for Jan. 6, 2013 and beyond.

"Happy Endings" and "Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23" take over the time slot on Jan. 6, 13 and 20. Hallmark Hall of Fame's original movie "The Makeover" fills that slot on Jan. 27. The Academy Awards broadcast airs on Feb. 24. After that, it's anyone's guess.

A spokesman for ABC stated that the last four episodes of "666 Park Avenue" may air over the summer. But those four episodes just hanging out there somewhere in limbo don't make a lot of sense without the rest of the show.

Or maybe ABC is just hoping people will forget about "666 Park Avenue" and then those four episodes will just disappear like a lot of things do at the Drake? A better solution would be to make the entire 13 episodes a summer replacement. This would refresh the story and give closure to the die-hard fans.

It's hard to say what they'll do, but a lot of fans think the show never had a fair chance. They could have tried a new time slot. Part of "666 Park Avenue" was up against TMC's "The Walking Dead." In my opinion, no show has much of a chance against that one.

What do you think ABC will do? Do you think they will re-run the whole thing, air the final episodes late or simply drop the whole thing? Please leave a comment below. You can try writing to ABC voicing your displeasure, but it may not do any good.
