If you were waiting anxiously to find out the identity of the mysterious Magic Man on ABC’s Happy Town, you’ll have to wait a bit longer.
Happy Town revolves around a bunch of strange disappearances and murders in a small town. The large cast includes Sam Neill, M.C. Gainey, Geoff Stults, Lauren German, Amy Acker, Steven Weber, Ben Schnetzer, Sarah Gadon, Jay Paulson, and Robert Wisdom.
After a disappointing start in the ratings, Happy Town was pulled off the airwaves for much of May. Before the show could return on June 2nd, ABC officially cancelled the series. Only eight episodes have been filmed but at least answers to some of the TV show’s mysteries will be revealed by the end.
Unfortunately, ABC has pulled the show off the air once again. Happy Town was scheduled to take next Wednesday off but return for June 30th and July 7th with the last installments. The network has decided, likely because Happy Town’s ratings have gotten really bad, to replace them with repeats of Castle.
It’s likely that ABC will get around to airing the last two episodes of Happy Town on a Saturday night sometime this summer. It won’t be soon though. On July 3rd, they’ll burn off the last episodes of the forgotten. On July 10th, the network’s airing the extra two episodes of Eastwick. Could Happy Town return on July 17th? Another mystery that we’ll have to wait to have solved.
What do you think? Are you upset that ABC has pulled the last two episodes of Happy Town? Do you think they’ll ever air?

abc needs to air the last two or however many episodes. They need to be aired so those of us who watch it can see the ending and have closure. The episodes need to be advertised so the fans know when they are being aired. What is wrong with the producers??????
I thought I had found something to fill the void left from losing ‘LOST’. It has really been getting good. I love suspense, mystery, things to keep me guessing and this show was doing it!!!!!. I think somebody has made yet another goof. I’m tired of getting interested in something and ‘poof’ , it’s gone. There’s nothing happy about this bad decision. I say BRING BACK HAPPY TOWN!!!!!
.abc sucks!!! This is what is goin to kill tv.. The should give a show a chance at a normal time slot ..dont show a program with a story unless you have confidence in it for at leastba season or 2. I guess we need more reality shows.
Here we go agian, settling into a new show only to have it yanked. I agree with Jay, I’m going to wait until a show runs its course and then decide to watch it or not. Why is it that you educated idiots can’t set up a show and leave it alone. I am sick of having to search for a show because it’s yo-yo’d all over the place. Seinfeld started out weak and we all know how it evolved. Soon all we will have to watch will be reality, crime scenes, hospital er’s and vampires. Pay attention advertiser on… Read more »
I agree….I hate watching new shows on ABC since they always cancel them before giving them a chance and keep the stupid ones. What is the point? Pushing Daisies and Flashforward were some great shows. I was getting into Happy Town and would have like to at least see the 8 episodes and hope for some answers.
Bye Bye ABC!
ABC sucks! I really enjoyed this show, they need to give shows a chance to find a audience. What they keep on is “I Survived a Japanese Game Show” really? WTF!
Now this is stupid…why can’t we see the ending…it’s like tearing the last page out of a book…..ABC…..stinks
They should at least put the episodes online for viewers. I watched the 1st episode, didn’t really care for it, found out they canceled it and said c’est la vie. But the episodes should be online for the people who are interested.
It sucks! My time is more valuable than to start watching a show and be interested and then have it cancelled. I think I will skip TV and start reading again.
Upset doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel.I will never watch ANYTHING on ABC again for as long as I live!
I really got into that show!!! My all time favorite ‘Lost’ is gone so I thought maybe this would be a good replacement….come on…bring Happy Town back!
That is very frustrating. My husband & I love Happy Town. We hate waiting for the next episode to air. I never can understand these networks & how they make their decisions. Unless you have a DVR you never know when a show is going to air, so of course the ratings stink. We aren’t mind readers. And by the way, we hate reality tv, so knock it off already!!!
I am disapointed. I just watched the show this week for the first time and was excited to see more.
I’ve given up on TV. I’ll only watch a show that I’ve “heard” is really good, after the show completes in its entirety, and is off the air.
WTF?????? That show was the only good thing happening right now and it’s not America’s fault that ABC doesn’t know how to market. I think that Happy Town should move to a different network OR become a web show on Hulu that people can watch online.
I was really getting into it… and I hate TV, which says a lot.
