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 show was great, the whole family tuned in to see what was going to happen. What kinda non sense is that! Just when it was getting exciting. ABC has disapointed me for the last time.
VERY disappointed if Happy Town is canceled! Not the greatest show ever, but interesting & kept me looking forward to the next episode!!!!
i hate abc now…!!! happy town was my favorite showw……… what is there problems i dont watch tv or have time for it but i make sure im home when happy town comes on… i just really hope they put the shhow back on or another tv company picks up the show
How could u all take this show off , it always seems that the good show get the cut. Give them another try.
I am extremely disappointed in ABC. I think they have made a gross error in judgment. Happy Town has the excitement, the mystery, the intrigue, the suspense, the plot, and the ability to draw it’s audience into the plot and keep them there for a full hour and then have them counting the days until the next episode – this is a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since the 1970’s with Dallas. Dallas didn’t start off with a boom either and look how it exploded – so much so that other stations copied it with Knots Landing, Falcon Crest and… Read more »
I loved the show and found it unlike all the formula cop/reality crap TV ABC usually aires. I was getting more people interrested in it also. I don’t think they gave it long enough and I also don’t think a summer launch of a TV series does well anyway.
great show bad decision to pull it off. It was fun and thought provoking and well as a topic of conversation at the work water cooler. Castle..yawn..The Forgotton..Who cares
My wife and I really enjoyed the show and think its way too soon to pull the plug. Seriously, we didn’t even get into the meat of the show yet! Why can’t ABC just air the rest of the episodes or let the viewers view them on there own? Don’t pull it yet PLEASE!!!
you should never start a mystery and leave people hanging…..NEVER!!!! there’s not much of interest on tv in the summer to begin with.
I looked forward to Happy Town. Could it have been better…..yes, it could have. Some of it was not as creative as it could have been. The name of the mysterious “Magic Man” got tiresome after the first ten times you heard it, but still, there was room to grow and flourish. The show just wasn’t nurtured the way it should have been or given it’s time to prove itself. If stations pulled the plug on everything that wasn’t an instant hit, there’d only be three or four shows on per week. Why replace a show that hasn’t had time… Read more »
I think that ABC is way off base taking happy town off the air
Why would you run reruns of Castle? Just run the last episodes!
I actually love this show. It’s just like CBS’s Harper’s Island last summer. To be honest, it was a bit boring when it got started. Now I think the show is getting more fun and interesting. I’d be really sad if Happy Town gets cancelled. Please give them a second chance, ABC!
I think abc is stupid for taking Happy Town off. It was a very mysterious series, and kept me on the edge and wondering what would happen next. If they don’t like the ratings, that’s just too bad. Don’t put something out there for people to watch then take it off after a few episodes and disappoint some of your most loyal tv watchers. I am very upset with abc for this.
why can’t they just air all so we can know who the magic man is…..very disappointed in ohio
Awwww, come on! How can you just leave us hanging like that???? There are those of us who love the show and we need closure!
