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?

enjoy!
ABC should try and air the 1st season again this fall and see how raitings are then – I guarantee that they will go up, which could hopefully lead to a season 2. People just don’t watch that much TV in Summer… Btw, the last two episodes were great, although the identity of the magic man came a bit out of the blue.
I can’t believe ABC would do something so stupid!! I don’t care if the ratings were bad, u don’t start a mystery like that for 100 ppl & then jerk it away from them with 2 episodes left!! It’s enough to make me not want to watch ABC ever again!! Especially any kind of new show that could get jerked away from us!! I am truly furious over this. & to replace it with Castle reruns?? Anyone who is a Castle fan has seen all of the Castle shows & certainly aren’t interested in seeing them again!! If they took… Read more »
The really sad thing is the fact that Happy Town had about 2.2 million viewers and they still pulled it. I watched the ending and oh, wow I was right this show is one of the best I’ve ever seen. However, there are still more questions to be answered and a lot more stuff that they could have done after the “season finale”.
i agree abc should really get with it… they leave this bull crap shows on tv that i cant stand and then play this great show and take it off bull… i jsut watched the last two ep. and it wasnt enough i still want more now that we know they are alive where are they why did she take these people what is the the rest of it.. abc just dont have any brains on their team of c.e.o and pricks… i hope they do something about it…
Btw the last episodes are on hulu. You find out who the magic man, but the show ends with a person wanting to know if justice will come to those who have been waiting for it and if the prisoners will be set free and be able to return home. This is the hugest bummer ever. Its not often you find a show as intriguing as this one and it is a shame to watch it go.
Seems ABC does this to me all the time, I love a series and they yank it off the air. Kyle XY, October Road, EASTWICK, and now Happy Town. I’m about to give up on ABC altogether
Attaboy, dj. Said what I really felt.
The networks are just hurting themselves when they pull these stunts. Who wants to tune into a new show, especially anything serialized in any way, just to risk it being a complete waste of your time? What I have started doing with my drama show viewing is to literally wait a couple seasons for a show to establish before I even think of watching it. Then I start renting it on netflix or buy the DVDs.
I was loving this show! It was something to look forward to other than all the vapid reality crap. What is wrong with ABC? Or maybe I just have better taste than any of these execs in charge? Can we not have a fun, mysterious summer “read”???
Yeh i am ******* upset. I watch 3 shows on regular TV. I found this one and loved it. I knew it wouldnt last because i liked it. And sure as ****, It is going away. I will never watch another show on this network again. You can go **** yourself, Just like you said to me, By pulling this show!
The only thing that survives on abc is complete crap. Your choices are reality shows or night time soap operas (grey’s anatomy, private practice, desperate housewives to name a few). Though brothers and sisters isn’t that bad.
Of course they were going to cancel this (and with NO ANSWERS either! the “answer” only brought up more questions) it’s good and ppl with minds liked it. ABC sucks!
Unbelievable! One of the best shows going right now and ABC decides to pull the plug. My wife and I were hooked since the first show along with Harper’s Island and Life on Mars. What is going on here. I have told many people about this show and how good it was, they didn’t even know it was on television. This is crap.
Yeah! Play the episodes. You owe it to the viewers.
