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?

Please put happy town back on the air. It had me hooked after the first episode. I think it is a great show and told as many people as I could to watch it. They also got hooked on the show. Now we are all sitting here waiting and wondering if the show will be back. We check the listing every wednesday night to see if it’s on only to be dissapointed week after week that it is not listed. So please reconsider your choice of castle and put happy town back on the air. To whom it may concern—… Read more »
I just finished watching the last episode on line. Great show!!!! I am so disappointed and angry that they pulled this show. They need to bring it back or at least give us some closure with a literary version!!! So sick of them canceling good tv, especially for more reality crap or reruns.
Happy Town was GREAT, but apparently it’s above the general viewer publics heads. Happy Town was unfolding nicely and the final episode showed that the show was really shaping up to be a real eye opening television experience. As usual the viewing public does not have the smarts for shows with many levels to it as yet another excellent show dissapears from a mostly shallow telivision line-up.
AT LEAST FINISH THE SERIES ABC. HARD TO BELIEVE YOU LEAVE US WITH RERUNS AND REALITY…..what a shame. I need to stay far away from your network.
Are you kidding me? Cancelled Happy Town!!! Can someone explain why “Lost” remained on for 8 yrs when it told you nothing.. It was like a lead balloon. We finally have a show that holds your attention and offers a truly intriguing plot and off it goes. Are you smoking crack? ABC exec’s bring Happy Town back on so the rest of us has some enjoyment as we can’t afford private Jets, month long vacations, jewels, mansions, and the rest of your toys, at least let us have something entertaining and intriguing on our TV’s while we still have them.
Please bring back Happy Town. I can’t believe it didn’t do well. It was one of the best mystery shows on TV. We’re waiting for answers.
I really enjoyed this show I waited for every Wenesday night for Happy Town to come on. I really liked the show and enjoyed sitting down to watch because it kept me very interested and wanting more after it had went off for the night. So ABC take off your stupid shows that know one cares about and bring back Happy Town.
I just watched the last two episodes on ABC.com and found out who the Magic Man was and who was involved. I was shocked and excited at the same time. I am very angry with the people in suits at ABC for once again pulling a brilliant show off the air. Thanks for luring me in, just to turn around and pull the plug.
If they don’t want to air it on tv during prime time, at least finish the series and make it avaliable online. ABC, what a poor integrity. They should finish what they start. How disappointing…
i think you are bunch butt head’s to take the show off before it was finished. you all need to pull your head’s out of your a– and cancelle some of those reality show’s and bring back happy town
I really enjoy Happy Town and I wish they would stop cancling it and then bringing it back on! Its a great show and I can’t wait to see who the magic man really is? And if it is infact a man?
My brother and I were absolutely hooked on this show! We spent hours discussing the meaning of all the little details and clues, wondering what it all means. So now we’ll never know? Please! Put it back on and let it finish!
I really loved this show. the characters were great and I thought the story line was always interesting! Please bring it back!!!
I enjoy Happy town i hope they bring it back.
I watched the last two episodes on Hulu and I have to say that even after watching those I still want to see what happens next. For instance, is that really the little girl back, and why did Andrew have to stay after watching the movie, “The Blue Door”? It is a really good mystery show. It sure beats the massive amounts of reality crap they show on a daily bases. The acting was not the best, but I bet if they gave it a little longer people would have caught on. I am pretty sure that Cathrine never died… Read more »
I’m sorry, but did you watch the episode or not. You may want to go back and watch the last one again because the last scene tells us who the magic man is. Pay attention to the dialog. Also take a closer look at the name of the bar that Tommy’s dad walks into at the end.
