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?

It figures just as it was getting interesting some idot pulls the plug. They could have at least let us know who was doing all of the murders. Thanks a million
Too bad. I watched the show from the very beginning and liked it — looked forward to watching every Wednesday. I knew it would be pulled, but was hoping to be wrong. Last years Harpers Island was a show that I thought would get canned, and since it made it through was hoping for the same for Happy Town. You know, ABC could have tried moving the time slot —
Bring it back….leaving us with no ending or answers… Not right!!!
Keep it on it is better than half the shows that air!!!
I cant even believe this!!!! Wednesdays are ALMOST our favorite days because we are waiting to see what will happen next!! I agree that the ratings are low to due the bad timing of the show. Its hard for people that have lives to stay up til 11:00 PM to finish watching the show. I myself are one of the many that has the series set to record…(JUST IN CASE) I am fully disappointed with ABC for pulling it!!
Let’s have another Reality Show. How about one were people sit around and watch reality shows 24 hours a day until the drop over from stupidity
Do not start a series that only has eight episodes, has a question viewers want answered and then pull it. I am tired of all this. It gets to the point where you don’t even want to start watching a show because by next week it is either gone for good or on a different night or comes back two months after you have forgotten it. The same thing happened to “V” and “Flashforward”. I was really enjoying the story lines and wham bam they are gone for two months, then we’re supposed to remember what the heck happened the… Read more »
HERE WE GO AGAIN. ALWAYS CANCELING SHOWS I GET INTO. ITS A WONDER PEOPLE EVEN WATCH TV. AND HATE TO TELL THESE NETWORKS, WITHOUT VIEWERS THEY HAVE NOTHING.
I’m also really disappointed Happy Town is being cancelled, I love a good suspense like this one was. During the summer there’s nothing to watch on TV and it was really good to watch the mystery unfold. At least this was a show that both men and women wanted to watch together.
I have waited patiently each week for Happy Town. Watched every episode and just to find out that no more….dad’s talking to a woman in a bar, who knows where the missing are? The son is questioning the head lady of the town on his mom’s death. I’d like to know what’s in the movie the grandson watched. Is the head family a bunch of devil worshiper’s? Who is this girl that came to town….her real name is one of the missing….come on ABC’s lets finish this show. You dragged out lost are you doing the same with Happy Town?
seriously they should at least come to a finish and answer this seasons questions for those of us that really enjoy happy town even if we can only watch it on the web. I am with others who express liking this series because it is different than most shows on t.v. these days. One that challenges us to think and not just sit in front of the boob tube mindlessly.
This is bull and you have that crappy rookie blue show come on!!!
I am getting seriously annoyed that the networks are pulling off shows left and right because they don’t draw in 50 billion viewers each week. Ratings have to be EARNED, not expected! Let the show run, let the word of mouth pass along, and maybe an audience will have a chance to build! Do you have to check your brain in at the door to work for ABC?
I really liked Happytown. I think the ratings may have been down due to the time of night it aired. I could never stay up to watch it, but I always recoreded it!! Bring it back!!
What a shame! I was enjoying this mystery so much. Won’t be watching Castle reruns as much as I like this one.
