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?

I am really disappointed! Fox is famous for starting great shows and cancelling them midseason (Tru Calling, Vanish, to name a few), as a result I won’t watch any new shows on that network because of this. I guess I will have to add ABC to the network boycot list!
I love Happy Town and Eastwick. Why do the shows I love always end up pulled? The ones I hate, like Lost stay on the air!!! arrrrrgggggg……
Are you kdding me!!!! leaving the people who enjoy this show up in the air and not finishing the series. The Network needs a kck in the A……….., there are people out here that do enjoy a good mystry and not the stupid reality shows like Tori & Dean, Kate plus 8, ect, ect. Please!!!!!!!!!!
Ridiculous!
ABC you suck! I think I’m banning ABC. This has been like starting to watch a really interesting movie and then about half-way through the network people come on and say they didn’t make an ending to it. I did like Castle, Cougar Town and a few other new shows on this network. I’m not going to watch anymore!
Put the show back on the air. My husband, my daughter and her fiance love the show and I know we’re not the only ones looking at the comments on this website. First of all what idiot airs a new show against the final episodes of American Idol. The idiot that made that decision should be fired. The only reason I even saw the first episode is because I hate American Idol and have never watched it ever. Give it another chance. Air it from the beginning starting in the summer on a weeknight, not a Friday, advertise it well… Read more »
I want to see Happy Town!!! I love Castle, BUT, I can give that up also if we don!t get Happy Town! E. Krupinski
AT LEAST AIR THE ENDING SO I KNOW WHO THE KILLER IS. I WAS FAITHFUL TO THE SHOW . I GAVE UP MY TIME TO WATCH IT. IF ABC DOES NOT AIR THE END IT WOUD BE A BIG MISTAKE, MAYBE THAT IS WHY THEIR RATINGS AGAINST THE OTHER NETWORKS ARE WEAK. YOU CAN’T DECIDE TO END A SHOW ESPECIALLY LIKE HAPPY TOWN WHICH IS A CONTINUING STORYLINE IN THE MIDDLE. BAD MOVE AGAIN ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I very sad I’d loved Happy Town and Eastwick, i want them both back
You’ve hit the nail on the head!!! LOVED Eastwick. I still can’t believe they cancelled it, and now HAPPY TOWN. The Sam Neill character was fantastic. ABC, wake up. Bring both these shows back!!
This is ridiculous. ABC does this all the time. There have been many good shows where they have just left viewers hanging and not gotten around to the true story. It truly makes me not want to get invovled wiht any new shows that ABC starts. At least NBC and CBS let their shows play through. I will nto be starting any new shows with ABC going forward-you can;t be guaranteed they will finish.
Well, fooey. We love Happy Town – it’s made our Wednesday nights memorable again. We HAVE TO see the end. Why would they take off what’s been one of the best shows this season – and then leave on more awful reality shows?
Dear ABC: In appreciation for lying to us, I promise Iwill not watch any ABC show for the next year. (I can do that now that “Lost” is gone. Heh! Heh!) Hope the ratings on all your shows tank.
What idiots!!!!! This was one of the best new shows all spring. We waited for the return in June and now its pulled again? That’s not fair to the viewers whoi came back and now need to know the answers.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME! So we’re just left hanging for now? They shouldn’t promote or advertise a show if they’re not even sure if they’re going to keep it on! I hate this when this happens. It’s like reading a book and some sadistic person has ripped the last pages out! I don’t think I’m going to watch this network again! At least show the last shows, WHEN you said you would air them!
are you kidding me? i am so disappointed! who makes these idiot decisions? i love shows like this and there are not enough of them. there are some of us that like good old fashioned tv and not those morons on their reality shows. (can someone PLEASE tell me why kate gosselin is STILL on tv????) OUTRAGEOUS! i wanna know who the “magic man” is!!!
