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?

Maybe if ABC would run the show instead of running a couple of episodes then taking it off the air for a couple of weeks, then run it again thinking that it will keep people interested. Typical for this Network.
Yeah and as far as the ending answering some questions, I had just as many questions if not more after the last two. Is the wife the magic man, honestly if you are to cheap to film the last two at the very least send me the script.
Honestly I’m so tired of ABC, for that matter all the major networks! As soon as they get you into a show they cancel for whatever crap reason they give. It is so sad the money we shell out for cable and that there is never anything good to watch, and as soon as there is some ****** doesn’t think it’s ratings are good enough. Well I guess the only good thing is if Happy Town couldn’t make it then that crap The Gates won’t either.
I think it’s ridiculous, especially since they left us with a preview for the next episode. If they don’t show the last episodes they should at least post them online. Otherwise ABC with lose more ratings in general because people will be too afraid to watch their new shows cause they might get pulled.
How dare the network cancel Happy Town! I have always enjoyed watching a good mystery! The show was really getting interesting. I won’t be watching Castle!! I’m tired of the same ol’ same ol’ crap in summer TV!!!
I suggest i you did not have it on at 10:00 at night more people probably watch it. Should put it on at 8:00 or 9:00. I know I go to bed at 10:00 so i have to watch it online. Or record it on my DVR.
Sorry for confusion, typing error. Happy town should be on at an early time to capture america. I know I have to watch it online or DVR. 10:00 is just to late for me when I have to get up at an early time.
I was sooooooo bored with the same repeat shows. Finally something compelling comes along and it’s canceled. I enjoyed the cast . I find myself watching less TV all the time. It doesn’t make a difference what time of year it is. Very tired of spinoff shows .
What the freak?!?!? You get me all into the whole mystery, and then pull the end so I still don’t have any of the answers? That was done to me with another one of your shows a couple of years ago…remember invasion?!?!? I am tired of getting all involved into one of the “running mystery” shows and then having it pulled/dropped before I find out the endings!!! I will NEVER watch another type of that show on your station again if I don’t see the end of Happy Town!!!!!
I am very mad about them pulling Happy Town two times now! They’ve already shown most of the season and the people who do watch it want to know what happens! They should at least play it through til the end even if it did get bad ratings. You don’t need to make another season of it but the people who actually watch it and like it should be able to know what happens.
ABC is good at pulling good shows off the air, for instance Flashforward, before you know what the ending is. They have done so in the past with several other good shows. And as far as complaining, they send you a form letter to your comments, not an answer.
Oh well, most good shows are on CBS anyway.
I was really into Kyle XY. The show was great. I spent hours watching it. It ended giving you no answers to anything, making it a complete waste of my time. I hope with Happy Town they do something different like say……. hmmm……… They give it an ending
Hey I am really pissed about this being canceled. You finally put something on TV worth watching and then pull it. Great move. I will be going back to another station, Discovery or something like it that has something to offer.
I am really upset that Happy Town was pulled off the air. It was refreshing to have a new genre of entertainment for a change. I am sick of police shows, reality shows, etc and found Happy Town captured my interest for a change. If I watch television at all, it’s cable stations. Please bring back the show and at least let the viewers decide, for a change.
So.. watched the last two episodes and am completely NOT satisfied x.x
I totally agree with Ray. I wasn’t satisfied with the ending at all.
May I suggest that Happy Town fans write to ABC. I sent them a 3 page email….they only give you 500 figures to write….I had too much of a rant. Go for it Happy Town Fans.
pretty pissed !! get caught up in a show and have to wait every other weak to see it. then to top that, we might not see the final episodes.
