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 bring Happy Town back!!!!!!!!!!
speaking for the sci fi geeks – I was enjoying the show. Something original. Come on guys……give us the last episodes!
Very Upset i thought it was a good show they need to at least have the finale if they leave me hanging i will never watch another pilot from ABC again!!!
If shows worried about ratings entirely, i would wonder how other shows got off the ground. You’ve got to build a fan base. A few commercials of a tree flipping upside down to show that it can look like roots is not enough. I got into this show 100% and said I REALLY LOVE THIS SHOW! And then they said it would be on next week, then we DVR’D it, and Castle was on. A show that I personally don’t care for, as it is formula. Actually the actress is the only one I like, but the guy from Desperate… Read more »
I can’t believe Happytown was cancelled. It was a great show, so it figures. Any time there’s a new, exciting, intelligent show in TV, the networks cancel them. Guess they don’t like to put on good entertainment. Just stupid shows for the stupid american public.
Plus, how did it end? What, we’ll never know. How rude!
This is why I don’t like to get into a show until it’s established and won’t get pulled off the air so easily. This happened with a few other shows I enjoyed. Granted, this show wasn’t in the top 10 of great mysteries, but it’s certainly more entertaing than alot of the junk that gets renewed.
I’m so mad! I loved that show and I was really getting into it! I would love to see the show finish. This happened with the show reunion too!
the eastwick episodes did not air on july 10th and as far as i can see on july 17th happy town is not listed
This is ridiculous. I think the people who did watch the show deserve a conclusion.
I understand the rating game, however, it’s very frustrating to have shows you get evolved with just to suddenly gone. You could at least do one last episode to help viewers with some answers and closure.
FOREVER WONDERING IN MONTANA
I can’t believe anyone would rather watch reruns that finish watching Happy Town. I need to find out who did it.
Why don’t you replace Rookie Blue with Happy Town? You can’t tell me that Rookie Blue is any better!!
Well I watched the episodes on the internet and they were the final 2 so for anyone who wants to know who did it watch it online.
I can’t believe they can just stop a series like this. i NEED to know how it ends. they are the ones who aired it first, they should have to finish it up now and let the people who started to watch it have some closure. i thought the series was amazing!
They did the same thing with “Jericho” !!
It sucks that ABC canceled Happy Town before the last few episodes!! I love a good mystery but this is ridiculous to not even allow us to see who the killer was!!!
PLEASE… bring back Happy Town!!
