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 cant believe it. i loved this show.it intrigued me, excited me and it reminded me of harper island and i loved that one. i figured it would be a one series hit just like harper island but at least a full season. please bring it back. we need to know more. no one wants to watch repeats of castle. BRING our show back
TV is just crap lately and this is actually a decent show, just on at a bad time. I tivo it and watch it later. Bummer.
I am upset that they pulled the show. I really enjoy watching the show and think that it’s great. I love the mystery of trying to figure out who the magic man is and the drama surrounding Henley and her ultimate purpose for being in Haplin. BRING IT BACK!!
I myself have never watched, but my mother and my sister were extremely interested in the show. I just now called my mother and told her the news, and she was very upset at the fact it has been cancelled. In her own words, “Well, I’ll be damed. Every time I get a show I like, they take it off the air. I don’t like Castle…why can’t they leave well enough alone?”
What is wrong with network TV? They end a good show like Ugly Betty which they sabotaged the ratings by moving it around in different time slots. Then for summer viewing we get stuff like Happy Town and The Gates. And then we don’t even get to find out what happened in Happy Town. HMMMM wonder why I don’t watch network TV hardly at all any more.
How dare they pull us into a story line and leave us hanging, especially in a mystery series ( a sitcom is another thing). They owe it to the viewers to at least wrap up the story. Maybe if the exectutives or decision makers watched their own shows, they might know how the rest of us feel to be kept hanging in the dark. Shame on them!
This show was a great show! I don’t understand why we can’t get this show aired. It did need a lot more publicity that it got…but give it a chance. The show deserves it!!
This show was good. Very Twin Peakish. They didnt even let it have time to get going. Its unfair to the actors, producers, writers, and audience. I was happy to see them using many of the actors from October Road which is another show I really enjoyed that was cancelled on ABC.
I agree about using the actors from October Road. I loved that show too and they pulled that one off as well. ABC keeps cancelling the wrong shows. Hopefully they’ll figure that out one day.
I am upset. I was waiting anxiously to see the show this Wednesday. They shouldn’t pull it off just like that. It is not fair for those that have been watching to replace it with something that some of us have no clue about. This is a very suspensful mystery show and pulling it out like that is inconsiderate. Those of us waiting may forget or not know when the final shows will be on.
For gawds sake! At least air the last 2 episodes !
Happy Town is really very interesting and the acting not all that bad for TV. If it requires a brain, ABC will pull it off the air and appease the mouthbreathers with faux reality shows. Pathetic.
ABC is really unfair to viewers. They have a responsibilty to viewers to bring a conclusion to a series. It was in a bad time slot and could have worked in another slot instead of some really insipid junk currently on.
Notice a trend here? Ever hear of Community? Flash Forward? Any well written new show with decent acting is bound to fail – why? No laugh track. It’s that simple.
I fell in love with Happy Town before it even started and I was not disappointed. I thought this is wonderful another Harper Island a Murder Mystery to watch during the summer, something to look forward to. But as usual money talks. Shame on you ABC. Please, please at least run the last episodes so the loyal fans of the show will know what has happened.
THE SHOW WAS GREAT, ALL I CAN SAY IS “HOW COULD YOU”
