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?

What is going on?? all these great shows taken off going all the back to October Road. ABC is going down the wrong road. These shows Eastwick, October Road, Ugly Betty, and now Happy Town. MAJOR BUMMER!!!!!
ABC owes it to all who were following this series to do the right thing and make a major announcement that they have postponed the series and when they will air it. ABC really blew it big time to just stop a series in the middle of it – with just two episodes left. That is the ultimate in injustice. I will avoid ABC any time it’s optional which network to watch.
ABC Happy Town..Is one of the Reason I watch ABC anyway…ABC you Suck! Put happy town back on!
I hate this. I do not watch the show as it is airing but I record it and my husband and I watch it on Saturday’s. I CANNOT believe this show was pulled. I am sure they will replace it with another POS reality show like the bachelor. I really enjoyed watching real actors act! ABC…you are making a BIG mistake. If you want viewers to watch your shows then you have to keep them on and consistant or you loose more viewers. And how can you replace an ongoing show with reruns?!?!? I’m disappointed and very shocked!
i am pissed that Happy Town was took off … we loved thAT SHOW… SO PUT IT BACK ON ….ABC NEED TO PUT IT BACK ON
love the show! bring it back…or at least the final episodes!
What the heck are they thinking! Happy Town is great show, maybe they should try a different time slot. And it is summer, people don’t watch as much tv in the summer. I have been waiting to see the episode , why leave those of us waiting to watch it hanging. CRAZY
complete BS! You get interested in a show only to have it cancelled!
I can’t believe they took off Happy Town. We’re done with ABC. Why ABC thinks they can start a series, get you involved, and then decide to show episodes sporadically, and then cancel it, is rediculous.
I for one will never watch another ABC series again.
What is the matter with ABC? Anything of substance, they pull . They must think their core audience has an IQ of a chimp and couldn’t follow a really difficult plot. I live for these type of shows and if they continue doing this sort of thing, I am never going to even start getting involved with anyof their new mysteries. Reality crap must really be bringing in the bucks! What does that tell you about the education system in the US?
i loved the happy town… there is more than enough reality shows on tv…
ABC is on crack! First FlashForward and now Happy Town. Lost is no more… what the heck is ABC doing?
I am pissed!!!! I loved Happy Town!!!! BRING IT BACK or at least finish it!
I have been waiting for Happy Town to be back on, and when I checked again tonight and didn’t see it on, I thought I’d better check it out. I am horrified that they cancelled the show. I was really getting into it. I loved the mystery of it all. I don’t understand why they would cancel it. It’s not like it’s airing when kids are still up. All the kids should be in bed by 10:00 unless they are older anyway! I want to know the reason behind this cancellation because this has me genuinely upset. I loved that… Read more »
This sucks!!!
