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?

Dumb and dumber!
I totally agree with “Pissed Off” he/she said it all – “I had gotten hooked on Happy town. You should at least follow through until the end of the season. You left us hanging and wasted our time with episodes that you did air. Please finish it out and give us closure…………………It was a great show……………….” I am disappointed.
It’s comforting to know that rating is all you think about, but those who did give you the ratings are the ones who you have let down. My husband I don’t agree to watch many shows together, but it sure was nice for us to have something we enjoyed talking about, and at times replay the show just so we could watch again to see if we picked up on any extra clues. I agree with a previous comment, there were several shows pulled because of this or that, but I think “MONEY” is what is the most important. I… Read more »
What a great show! I loved the plot and the characters were fascinating. Sam Neill was excellent! This show definitely has another season in it at least and I have already seen every Castle and every cop, lawyer and doctor show on earth. Time for something new like Happy Town!
Check out Hulu they have the last two episodes. But, I must warn you that it will only make you want to see more!
It’s ashame that ABC took off Happy Town. Nothing like having a series that makes you think. The “Magic Man” whoever he is…just when all the episodes started to get interesting…zap ….off it goes. Could it be that ABC listens to many older folks stating take it off the air….Couldn’t they see the promo’s that Happy Town was not a funny series…honestly….If people don’t like what they see then turn your TV off….
This was a fun and interesting show…I know it didn’t have a lot of bimbos and some single guy in it so the dummy ratings were off but come on, cancelling it before the Magic Man is revealed, have you no heart!?
That’s why I don’t watch ABC, NBC, CBS tv shows – you get interested in it, and then they yank it off because of poor ratings …. I stick to the cable & HBO shows at least they have a better chance of sticking around.
Happy Town was a great show. Love to watch something that makes you think and try to figure out the who’s the “bad guy” or Magic Man!! Very upset that ABC canceled the show!!
wow, this is a disappointing. i was hooked on happy town. ABC you really suck, and are going to lose most of your viewers soon. you cant cancel a show after showing several episodes. its just ridiculous.
Who the heck ended up being the Magic Man?
I just started watching ABC for Happy Town and V. Now both are taken off the lineup? ABC you suck. I won’t be pulled in again by any series you offer as it is to what end, having it jerked again? No thanks. Bye ABC.
Flashforward, Lost, Heros, 24, now Happy Town there are a couple of others i just can’t think of them now. What will you take from me next V. I not happy with the networks.

ABC is STILL on crack…. The final two episodes are availible online at Hulu’s site http://www.hulu.com
I had gotten hooked on HAppy town. You should at least follow through until the end of the season. You left us hanging and wasted our time with episodes that you did air. Please finish it out and give us closure…………………It was a great show……………….
What is wrong in showing a show during the summer instead of reruns? No one wants to watch a rerun when they can watch somethings new! I will never watch an ABC mini series again NEVER! Remember that you lose people everytime you upset a viewer ABC remember that….
I really enjoyed watching ABC new drama “Happy Town”. Even though the ratings starting out not so good, I still think that the show could have a chance. It’s so much to watch right now, everyone is trying to keep up with this show or that show. I thought the show was very interesting. I loved the characters and believe that they should keep the show going. Eastwick was another favorite of mine. Soon you get caught up into these shows the are pulled.
