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?

My friend and I really liked this show…. It’s quite annoying that it’s being cancelled.
I really liked this show. It is sad they cancelled it.
It was a family night for us we would eat and then watch the show together.
How sad!
I am also very upset that the show was canceled. I really enjoyed watching it and yes I was hoping to find out who the magic man was and now they stop it……….
I am fed up with ABC. I won’t be watching any of their programs again….goood bye ABC
This is terrible. I knew this was coming. This is (was) the ONLY new show I have been watching. Do everyone a favor and keep Happy Town, and pull the plug on half the other shows on your network. I agree with Jeanette…shame on you, ABC!
Why would they cancel it with only two shows left! They should have just finished the season…..
cancelled another good show and to leave us hanging who is the magic man why etc please bring it back
i am reallly sad they decided to cancel this show!!!! i started to really get into it thinking we would soon find the discovering of the magic man and BOOM taken off the air!!!! i really hope they decide to bring it back
This is why I don’t watch series television anymore, especially the new stuff. I’ve gotten into so many shows that are well done only to have them yanked out from under me. I wait untill the show is picked up for another season and then start watching online. You don’t have to watch all those commercials either! Also, this is another good reason to read books. You can “cancel” it if you don’t like it but you don’t have to worry about someone else snatching it from your hands.
What a bummer! I had a feeling they cancelled this show! I hate it when I get caught up in a show then, Pfffttt! That’s it, gone without and ending!
This happened with another show back when Lost was just getting started. {“Hurricane”, I think? It was produced by Shaun Cassidy}
Is “Happy Town” based on a book that I can buy and read??? At least then I can get the whole story and closure, rather then be left hanging!
I loved this show. Really gripping. Sad to see it go.
Me and my whole family enjoyed this show.we are very dissapointed that ABC canceled,but I guess what else to expect from ABC
WHY???????????? REALLY GOOD SHOW!!!!!! SEEMS LIKE THEY CANCEL THE GOOD AND LEAVE THE JUNK!!!! GET RID OF THE DUMB REALITY SHOWS!!!!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with Manu 100%. Take off some of the so-called reality junk and put on good acted series like Happy Town. If I want reality, I watch the news. I live reality, I watch television to get away from the routine, someone needs to put good tv series back. Thank God all the networks aren’t as dumb as ABC.
Damn ABC
cant believe it… i was really enjoing this one
nice cast and history
lost was worse in my opinion, but everybody watched ¬¬
they are listening the worng people to get the ranks, thats all
