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?

abc sucks
Thanks “ABC”for Taking “Happy Town”off the Air without letting us see the Finale’. “NOT” Some of us “Folk”like” Shows” like this.Sorry you didn’t have big Ratings,but it wasn’t Fair to us that did watch it,For you to take it off the Air.Please Bring it BACK.And,Let us know when ,Too. We want more Shows like this,Too.Bring “Happy Town” BACK!
I can understand if networks need to cancel shows but they could at least provide endings and answer all the questions we have instead of leaving us hanging. Most things are re-runs right now so they could have wrapped up happy town during the summer. But instead ABC would rather show repeats of shows right now.
We were enjoying the show Happy Town. Really wanted to see the end. I think that your rating system does not get the feeling of most viewers. I like a lot of shows you have run, but if this is the way you are headed I feel that it is better not to watch any new shows you start.
That’s crazy!!! I was waiting for the final one. What would one more episode hurt for the fans that actually watched the show. I’m sure the ratings aren’t great with Castle reruns. I loved watching the show Castle, but I turn it everytime I see a rerun on.
My son and I really got into this show, and enjoyed watching it and discussing what we had seen and trying to figure out what would happen next. Now, you pull it and we don’t even get the benefit of seeing the last two episodes! What is wrong with you? You really promoted this show and then poof, once we get hooked you pull the rug out from under us? I guess now, there is no reason for me to ever watch any of your shows, because I can’t trust that they will be there, and I don’t want to… Read more »
The very least you could do is finish the show!!! Happy Town is the mystery that a friend and I have been raving on and on about and trying to guess the endings, “who did what, where?”!!! Just two shows left? and you leave us all hanging, and I really liked ABC. Sucks now though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am also DONE with ABC! Who cancels a show with 2 episodes left…in the summer!? It also irks me how they interrupt a show to give “news” like who Lebron James is playing for. Who watches abc for news? I will never get into another new abc show again!
Please bring back the last two episodes of Eastwick…..I loved that show…. Happy Town too!!!
Thanks for LYING Abc!!! You bait us EASTWICK lovers in this article by saying youre going to air the final 2 episodes you OWED us from the one and only season. Showed us a whole season and then kept the final 2 eps from us. LOSERS! They should be on right now but of course, in true ABC form, you havent bothered to go through with it. Youd rather air repeats of Scoundrels and The Gates than the final 2 new episodes of Eastwick which fans have been wanting. It’s a Saturday night! Really? Like your ratings would suffer on… Read more »
AMEN Jillian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liars and Losers!
We are upset to have the show cancelled. The show was good the time was wrong for good ratings. ABC should not get us hooked and then jurk it away from us. Makes you want to stop watching the network in fear of pulling other shows out after you are hooked. The network should continue the series once it has begun.
I can’t believe that ABC is doing this! It really stinks getting people hooked on a show and then cancel it and not finish it!!!!! WHY do they do it,it drives me nuts, if you are going to start a show,especially a who-done-it one you are trying to figure out and then not air it for 2 weeks and now we find out that the show is CANCELED!!! It really ticks me off!!! Just like NBC did to HEROES!!! Its just not right!
I think it’s pretty stinky to leave viewers hanging! They run all kinds of garbage shows on their network season after season when they should have been cancelled loooooong ago.
HeyABC….lets get people addicted to this show and then poof, like the magic man, dissapear without a trace. I love this show. ABC, you owe it to the viewers to at least finish the series and let us fans that watched the show, see what was really going on.
I watched all (8) episodes in two days. I didn’t know that they canceled it. I don’t know how they can treat like this. There are many answers that I wanted to know. Although we found that ream Magic Man is Magic Woman but I didn’t understand the role of Merritt Grieves and Dan Farmer. Also I couldn’t figure out who is Henley mother and why she want to take revenge from the old fellas. ABC did the same things that NBC did to Heroes. After 4 season they cut new season and the story finished without reasonable ending.
Why oh why would you cancel before the season finale. Please please give us more….. 🙁
