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?

This is the third time ABC’s pulled something I was enjoying without an ending. Therefore I’m feeling relucdant to invest time for anything else. Y’ALL SUCK!
Absolutely done watching ANY new shows on ABC!!!
Luved , luved , luved trying to quess who the Magic Man would end up being and was looking forward to finding out who it is, but I will Never, ever put any more time in ABC, they are so disrespectful to the viewer!!! Hope ABC loses viewers and ends up losing $$$.
That sucks. Weve watched every show and now can’t see the ending?!?!?!?!?????
Agree with previous posters…stupid to cancel before series is finished. It was a summer series, what kind of ratings did you expect? This is why I watch cable series instead of networks, better televison and no cancelations before end of series.
how could you cancel happy town you could have waited till the end of the season, loved the show
I really liked the show and I think it sucks they pulled it without even ending the series and leaving us with questions. Maybe it was in a bad time slot or something but there are plenty of us out there upset about the cancellation.
If not wanting to air because of ratings, maybe post the remaining episodes on ABC.com. Yes? Please? :o)
Well leave it up to some executive to pull a show that obviously someone was watching. Go to NBC watch a show called “Unknown Persons”. Maybe this will wake them up!!
I am absolutely furious!!! I look forward to seeing the show every week. Sooooo disappointed with the network.
I finally find a serie that is actually a true televisions show instead ofand filming rejects “real” lives, and it gets pulled. I am going to give up TV all together if the networks don’t starts showing entertainment that doesn’t involve the phrase “reality TV” when being described!!!!!!!!!
I am absolutely furious right now I wanted to see the rest of the series, you would think that they would at least play it to the end of the season I am so angry I HATE you ABC right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
DONE WITH ABC!!
I think it shows poor taste to cut a show in the middle when people are waiting for answers. I really enjoyed the show. This is one reason I don’t invest time in watching new pilots.
If they are going to cancel a show, the least they can do is ended. I am getting to the point that I don’t dare see any new shows, so far they have cancelled most of the one I like. It should also tell you what the vast majority of people are looking for. Very sad! COMPLETE THE SHOW. PS: Do a mini series and see how it goes, you can always spin from that. Get with the program people, 1.2 million viewers is not bad. Are you counting internet or other countries? Those 1.2 can make or brake you… Read more »
You Guys are Freaks…..Why would you have people invest their time and energy in a new series, and pull the plug? Don’t you know what you’re doing when you set up your schedule in the first place? I really liked the show. It was so qwirky, and Sam Neill and the rest of the cast were wonderful in their roles…First you kill off Dave, what a great actor he is, and then you cancel the show again….You people don’t deserve to have anyone support your Network Television shows any longer. Forgotten was another great show, I always looked forward to… Read more »
