Viva Laughlin was an American musical comedy-drama series adapted by Bob Lowry and Peter Bowker (creator of the original series) Produced by BBC Worldwide, CBS Paramount Network Television, Sony Pictures Television, and Seed Productions, the series was supposed to have a season of 13 episodes and it is presummed that all 13 episodes were filmed. broadcasting its official season premiere on October 21, 2007 Viva Laughlin was cancelled on October 22, 2007 after only airing two episodes. There are still no plans to air the remaining episodes and it is unlikely CBS will ever air the remaining episodes

Plot

Viva Laughlin was a mystery drama musical about a businessman Ripley Holden, whose ambition is to run a casino in Laughlin, Nevada. It occasionally has the actors break into contemporary song. Ripley has invested all his money into opening a casino that is nowhere near completion, when his financing suddenly falls through. Needing an investor, Ripley approaches his rival, wealthy casino owner Nicky Fontana; but Fontana wants to own the casino himself, and Ripley turns down the deal. Ripley becomes embroiled in a murder investigation after the body of his ex-business partner is found at his casino

Status

The series was cancelled due to extremely negative reviews and poor ratings and due to how obscure the show has become it is unlikely of there ever being a home media realease of the show. Of the 13 episodes that were produced only 2 were aired on tv but of the 2 episodes that were aired only small bits and pieces of those episodes can be found online and have been reported by many to be scarce and really hard to find. However there have been a few auctions on ebay to sell the two aired episodes however it's unlikely the people involved with the ebay auctions will post the episodes onlne. As of July 2015 no full episodes of the show can be found online. Oddly enough the show isn't even mentioned on the CBS website. Cbs has also never commented on the possibly of airing the remaining episodes to the public. As of now it appears the chances of us ever getting to see the full series are slim
