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?

What’s up with all the good shows getting cancelled? A lot of this cast was from another show that I loved, October Road, which was also cancelled!
i loved that show!!! don’t pull it!!! maybe it was just a bad time slot…please bring it back!!!
Ten o’clock is often the kiss of death.
They never gave that show a chance.
Sheer ignorance.
I agree Happy Town started off a little slow, but it drew me in. Love the quirky characters and storyline. ABC need to give it a chance. I’m sure it would find an audience.
I can’t believe they canceled such an amazing show. Seriously a monkey could run the company better than these people. Anybody who is getting into The Gates too I’m just saying it now, DON’T GET TOO ATTATCHED!
I liked this program as soon as it began. All my friends watched it too, were shocked to hear that the ratings were so slow.One thing I noticed that there were not many advertisments telling about the show. I would think that they could at least show the final to shows or tell us where exactly we could watch it. As usual anything that is good gets cancelled.
There were 2 more episodes to air, I think ABC would survive airing Happy Town for another two weeks. The company is run by idiots.
well ABC has done it again.just when you are getting into a interesting show they yank it.they did the same thing to PUSHING DAISIES.i am sick of this network they really have nothing to offer me.
I am really tired of being disappointed by ABC. My girls and I really liked Happy Town and discuss each episode but now it’s canceled and we are left with unanswerd questions. The series didn’t even get a chance to build an audience. BRING IT BACK!
I think it is terrible to pull a show in the middle of airing especially for the people following it. they need to complete the show then cancel if the ratings are bad, who wants to watch a bunch of repeats??????????????????
I work 12 shifts,so have to record most of my shows,, It is 5am and I just watched all the Happy Town there was and am really disappointed that there isn’t anymore,,Please give the answers,,,, I am not against medical or cops ,since I work in the health field,,but I think they are getting to be to many of them.and now I hear the one cop show I watch,,which is another channel is canceled,,and that is Cold Case.I also watch all the CIS’s but that is it for me.
This sucks I really liked this show. It seems that all the new shows I thought were great ended because there were only a little viewers or some other crap like that. It’s really irritating, I hope they will at least show the rest of the episodes they filmed.
I agree why bother watching any new series just to be disappointed due to cancellation I think ABC needs to get some new management. I did not even try to watch lost till it was in the 3rd series due to this. Happy Town got my attention and then it ends never knowing what happened. Just think if you bought a book and the last two chapters were not included would you trust the author again or the publisher. That is how i feel about ABC. why bother they will just cancel it. Gates is not as good as a… Read more »
ABC’s Life On Mars was an american remake of the original BBC show of the same name and Ashes To Ashes is a spinoff of that series. If you enjoyed ABC’s remake I would definitley check out the original …it ends much better.
This is really bad. You show the previews for june 30th. for happy town and we all wait and then you cancel it. That really really sucks. I don’t even like the show castle that you put it its place. do the right thing ABC. Air the last 2 episodes so we all know the ending. That was SOOOOOO cruel of you. Have some compassion. Isn’t there enough taken away from us. DO THE RIGHT THING
Happy Town started a little slow but I knew it was different and worth watching. It got a lot better as the characters developed. It’s difficult to do a show like this and try to satisfy the audience every time it’s on. Lost succeeded because all the characters were there in every show (until they added more and more characters as the years rolled on). another good show that was axed a couple years ago was Smith, with Virginia Madsen, Ray Liotta, and, who can forget, Amy Smart. These were cable quality show on broadcast networks. Why they don’t survive… Read more »
