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?

I was so disappointed about the show as I want to see what happen to the end of the mysteries stories. Best show the air during on saturday night. I just loved watched the show.
Pisssst offf. once again they cancelled a program I liked
This is the second time ABC has canceled a show in its first season I was enjoying. The first was October Road. I vowed not to watch a new ABC series again and was successful in doing so until Happy Town came around. Of course, they canceled it!
I will NOT watch anymore ABC special shows like this!!!!! You people make me sick!!!! I LOVED that show. I mean Castle, seriously, Castle? Give me a break. If you don’t run the final shows of this series, ABC shows can go to h….!!! Happy Town Was a wonderfully wrote mystery and kept many viewers attention! I don’t care what you have to put on hold, you had BETTER finish this series, ABC, or I will watch my other 170 channels that I have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8 million people watch this show. How many do you need for crying out loud? Sorry… Read more »
Best series of the season. One of the series I have to watch every week
Best series of the season. One of the series I have to watch every week.
I cannot believe that ABC decided to start a new series in the middle of sesason finales and expect good ratings. AND then to replace it with re-runs when we were hooked on Happy Town.
What a big BUMMER…. I thought the show was very interesting and really looked forward to seeing it on Wednesdays, kind of like Carnival being cancelled on HBO. Love those types of shows.
One of the few series I have to watch every week.
Bring back this series. One of the few series I have to watch every week.
I am getting really sick of the network starting these shows and then just cancelling them because they aren’t getting the best rateings. Like we need to see more Castle reruns!
AMEN!!!!
I love mysteries. I can’t believe they are taking this off the air. Especially since this is a summer show when nothing else is on except re-runs.
I am really upset that Happy Town has been canceled!! I can’t believe it and really don’t understand it. It is rare that I actually get into a show, and I was really into Happy Town. The cast is great and it is really suspenseful. What a disapointment.
I love Happy Town. Its the only show I look forward to wathing it every week! Im sooooo sick of crappy cop shows!!!!!! Im getting really pissed at abc canceling every show I like to watch.
I loved Happy Town, at least finish it ! If the programing was consistant then people could schedule and watch ! The acting was excellent !!!!!!!
what does that mean ?
