I luckily caught it by accident, was flipping through channels and caught it 5 mins. into it.
Nice of CBS to give no warning. My Tivo didn't pick it up because I hadn't deleted the news pre-empted one. Ironic thing is, I was actually going to watch it, saw that it was news coverage, so went to live tv and found it running.
Thanks for posting about it. PTAT caught it, but my normal timer didn't bring it to the my recordings section since it wasn't deemed to be a new episode. If I hadn't come across this thread, I probably wouldn't have know to look for it.

TV Guide says the show is going to get the axe. Expensive to produce (large cast; established, and thus well paid, actors; costumes and automobile costs due to the "period drama" nature) seems to have killed it.
Nitpicks from the last episode:
- Again with the "rural southern Nevada as a place of rual farmland, somewhat similar to north Texas". I know they are filming in southern California, but its not that hard to find a desert there either.
- Showed a "Standard" gas station, which was really a still photo taken from a book of old gas stations. Old people, like me, will remember that until the 1970s the "Standard" brandname was different unrelated companies in different states. It was the "Standard" that became Amoco (Standard Oil of Indiana). Nevada was controled by the "Standard" that became Chevron (Standard Oil of California).
- Got into segregation issue a bit, with a "colored entrance" sign and the idea that Yvonne had to sit in the balcony at a movie. Las Vegas, unlike Reno, did in fact have serious segregation in the 1950s, with blacks not allowed in the casinos (except as entertainers and employees) at all. But Las Vegas desegrated fairly peacefully and fairly early, before the period covered in the show, and in any event, English speaking native Mexicans were generally treated as "white" in the southwest of that era.

Oddly the upcoming preview that showed at the end states it is a 'season finale' and not a 'show finale'. Makes me wonder if it will actually be cut or not.
I for one, hope that it gets renewed.
