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?

I am very upset that Happy Town got pulled off the air. That show was great! I like those kinds of shows…mystery, suspense, kinda spooky, alittle blood. Great show for me to watch after I put the kids to bed.
BRING IT BACK!!
no they rather show reruns of crappy shows and or reality crap like wife swap, bachelor and bachelorette OMG who does care about such crap get a life . it is all fake anyway.
they did the same with the witches of eastwick . just pulled the plug.
also some other show that i liked got pre empted.it is what ABC does. and i will start watching cabel shows at least there will be a season of watching.network tv is sucky. rating i wonder who does these since they dont call on regular folks oppinions
It figures this show would be cancelled. Everytime my husband and I LOVE a show, this happens. We apparently are just not into the mainstream-type shows that do well. Lets have another hospital drama where people are sick & dying. Now THAT appears to be popular entertainment. Oh, PLEASE!
I don’t understand ABC deciding to cancel Happy Town. It was something new and exciting. It was already filmed, and they decided to air a rerun of Castle over a new episode of Happy Town. And, haven’t we had too many years of The Bachelorette and Bachelor. Enough already!
I don;t think that I will watch another show on ABC. I was upset over the cancellation of Flashforward and V but then to stop this summer show in the middle, is just plain crazy. I watch CBS Harper’s Island last year and I thought that ABC was doing the same type thing this year. Not! How can I have faith in you network when 3 of my favorite shows have been cancelled? I guess the Magic Man is ABC! You made the show disappear.
How can a network expect viewers to be loyal if they can’t depend on seeing an ending or at least viewing the ending on line. This is not the first time a program has been pulled without notice to viewers.
I am very disappointed they cancelled Happy Town…The least they can do for us viewers who enjoyed the show, is to play the last episodes…This happened with Invasion too..VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!!!
NOT HAPPY! I was really getting into it maybe a better time slot would have been better. I’m so sick of the reality tv crap. Finally something different and the pull it before you find out the ending?
This is why I give up on regular TV. They never keep a show longer that one season. Im onto cable shows from now on….FED UP
I am very disappointed…HOW CAN THEY CANCEL AND NOT EVEN TELL US WHO THE MAGIC MAN IS!!!! Finally a show that peaks your interest, keeps you guessing and wanting more and BAM GONE!!!! There should be a law against this…..a cliffhanger that will literally keep you hanging FOREVER!!! ABC U SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!
I liked the show it was alot like Harper Island you knew it was just a summer thing BUT it was good
If a series is aired I believe there should be somewhere to watch in the final episodes.
I will not view future series because of the probability the entire program might not be shown. Why waste my time and cause frustration?
I like the show! I ‘d rather watch Happy Town than Castle anyday!
Finally something different and it gets cancelled! I’m so surprised it didn’t do well. For those of us who were excited about the series, please at least play the last couple of episodes. People have no imagination!
i am very dissapointed in the cancelation of this show i got really into the story line and looked forward to a season two or three hopeing their is still a chance for this show..
