That could work for it. Best I can figure is that it's something similar to Fox' Summer 2001 "Murder in Smalltown X" (which I throughly enjoyed, but no one else did). My Analysis & Prediction Don't know. It could become the water-cooler show of the season (doubtful in that slot) or it could die an early death. ABC's bar is of course low -- I've mentioned that a time or two -- and the show is part-Touchstone...it's also up against #1 "CSI" and a strong #2 "Will & Grace." Not many people left after those two. Sampling will be low because of just that. What They Say Last season's "The Runner" never made it to air, but ABC is giving Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Moore and Sean Bailey (the men who brought you "Project Greenlight" ) another chance with this combination scripted drama/reality show. An IRS agent travels to a desert town in search of some missing money. Once he gets there, he encounters a slew of eccentric characters. Each episode will have puzzles to solve. If one viewer can put it all together at the end of the story arc, he will win the money that everyone's been after. Co-writers Oscar winner Ben Affleck and Sean Bailey (who also act as executive producers along with Matt Damon and Chris Moore) have teamed up for this cross between a mysterious drama and a reality series. An IRS agent stumbles into a remote desert region in search of missing money; viewers, by piecing together clues, will be able to enter to win the sought-after cash. link Ben Affleck, Oscar-winning co-writer of Good Will Hunting, and Sean Bailey, his executive-producing partner on breakout hit Project Greenlight, take another bold step in the re-invention of modern entertainment. A mild-mannered IRS agent travels to a remote desert region in search of missing money and stumbles into a strange small town where mystery, danger, and peculiar characters lurk around every off-kilter corner. Everyone in Push has a secret, but no one is talking... unless they're telling our man to get out of town, fast. Every word, every sign, every gesture holds a clue toward solving the riddle of Push, Nevada. Each episode has new puzzles to follow and solve, along with a dazzling array of guest stars. In a next-generation twist on reality television, if one viewer can put the evidence together at the end of a multi-episode arc, they'll win the missing money that everyone is after. Uniquely involving, provocative and offbeat, Affleck's and Bailey's groundbreaking concept and sharp writing are destined to turn Push, Nevada into television's latest hot spot.
