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?

Please bring back Happy Town!!!! We really want to know what’s going on and who the Magic Man is!!!
Yes, I am upset of the cancellation of Happy Town. You get us into the show and then pull it before we can find out WHO the magic man is. What kind of ratings do you think you will get when everytime you get a good show on, you cancel it in the middle. At least you could do is finish what you start. Loved Harper’s Island and was looking forward each week to Happy Town, but of course ABC had to screw that up. I will not be watching anything on ABC now. I will have to watch cable… Read more »
Every time I like a show on ABC they pull the plug and I’m just left hanging! Happy Town, Eastwick, October Road all good show. Castle sucks, just keep showing reruns so I can just turn my t.v. off.
Re: Happy Town
C’mon ABC let’s see the LAST episode. JEEEEZ we need re-runs like we need Diarrhea. Sorry I did not make clear in my last comment as to which TV show I was referring to.
Have a Happy day!
C’mon I mean tis only 1 more show ABC. We need re-runs like we need Diarrhea! Get on w/ the show. It has a great cast and it’s a much needed mystery in these mysterious economic crap-out times.
Thanks and have a Happy day!
The cancelling of Happy Town is disappointing. This was my new favorite show!!!! Thanks alot ABC!!!!
ABC needs to bring back Happy Town… there are many people who enjoy the show and can’t wait to find out who the “Magic Man” is. They tried to pull “Harpers Island” last season because of ratings but at last finished the show…. If they would put the shows at a time when people watch them, ie, 8pm or 9pm, instead of 10pm then maybe the shows would succeed. If they take the time to develop them, then they should ensure that they show them in their entirety.
Ok… I’m doing this in hopes that ABC gets the idea to bring back Happy Town. If there are only 2 episodes left than, show them and don’t leave the fans hanging. I was excited to see the show. It was like a new Haper’s Island, that I loved and thought it was great to just have 1 season. I look forward to seeing how Happy Town ends. I had applauded ABC for airing it.. Now I’m disappointed in them for pulling it so soon.
I agree with you. I loved Harper’s Island and I also love Happy Town. I too am disappointed in not getting to see the last two episodes. I’m tired of all the reruns you’ve been running!!!
ABC SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! I love Happy Town. I loved Defying Gravity before it was pulled and Southland. If abc KEEPS PULLING SHOWS AFTER I LIKE THEM I will ban ABC forever. I hope your program manager has a real bad year. Sh*t Bi*rd’s
My sentiments exactly p.o’d! Well done LOLOL
This ABC crap of constantly pulling shows off the air really upsets me…I loved Happy Town…thought it was much better than most of the network’s tv shows that have aired forever….ABC sucks….wished this show would have been on a cool network like Fox or HBO…it would still be airing…Castle sucks…Wife swap sucks…but this show was actually pretty cool….too bad abc doesn’t have a clue…
Happy Town wasn’t given a chance! I loved every minute of it!!!!
AND they rather run reruns of Castle than give the viewers the last 2 filmed episodes.
ABC executives have their heads up their you know what. Shame on you.

I am getting tired of ABC doing this. They did it with October Road. When you sit down to watch Grey’s Anatomy, they through in repeats in the middle of the season. They better stop jerking the viewers around.
ABC bring back The Forgotten, Eastwick, and Happy Town.
And they should also bring back Flash Forward. What a finale that was!!! This is getting really old with what ABC is doing to the viewers. They are making a lot of people get very angry with their network. I am tired of them continously doing this to us!!! They don’t give these shows a chance.
Dear ABC: I loved Eastwick and The forgotten and you take them off I can not stand repeats it is a waste of my time. So I guess I’ll have to just get movies from Netflix and Redbox. And you have taken Happy Town. 😛
