I guess this means we won't be getting a second season.

THE CW TO WRAP 'PALMS' EARLY, DROPS SUNDAY ENCORES
By The Futon Critic Staff (TFC)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- The CW is wrapping "Hidden Palms" early as the summer series will now air its swan song on Wednesday, July 4 - two weeks prior than originally planned.
To accommodate the decision, back-to-back first-run episodes of the series will air on June 20 and June 27.
In addition, the netlet has opted to drop the show's Sunday, 8:00/7:00c encores effective immediately. Repeats of "7th Heaven" will slide into said slot while back-to-back repeats of "Reba" will now fill the Sunday, 7:00/6:00c hour.
To recap:
Wednesday, June 13
8:00/7:00c - "Hidden Palms" (New Episode)
9:00/8:00c - "One Tree Hill" (Season Finale)
Wednesday, June 20 and June 27
8:00/7:00c - "Hidden Palms" (New Episode)
9:00/8:00c - "Hidden Palms" (New Episode)
Wednesday, July 4
8:00/7:00c - "Hidden Palms" (Season Finale)
9:00/8:00c - "One Tree Hill" (Repeat)

Surprised...but not really. Hidden Palms is one of the worst shows I've ever seen...it's just bad...and not like "so bad it's good" in a guilty pleasure way like October Road... I won't miss it.

It's obvious that the CW had no confidence in this show since they relegated it to summer and only ordered 6 episodes.
Well, hopefully we will see more Gail O'Grady next season on Boston Legal.

I had been recording the Sunday nignt airings since Wednesday at 8 isn't good. I haven't watched the first couple episodes yet, and I won't. No point now.
And there are eight episodes, not six.

I think there are 8 Episodes total. The date/time table doesn't show the two episodes airing June 27th as described in the body of the post.
A little disappointed. Not because I thought it was good, but there really isn't much on this summer and I am beginning to go through withdrawals.

I guess color bars and tone would probably get more viewers than this show.

The only reason I tuned into the first episode was to see Gail O'Grady (NYPD: Blue). The show was awful & probally the worst show of the summer season but it was on the CW network so I wasn't expecting much.

From an earlier thread before any episodes had aired:
Guys - no offense, but what were you smoking when either of you watched this pilot? :scratch:
I mean it is at best brainless eye candy, but certainly wasn't going to last more than its 8 ordered episode.
