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?

Hi
i think they should at least finish the series so that we can find out who is the Magic man.
episodes 7 & 8 are good but they still leave you hanging and scratching your head.
it sucks that they cancelled it.
Really – take the time to see what is going on – get into the mystery and wham, off the air it goes. ABC seems to make a habit of it. Wonder why I watch it at all. Please finish so I can see what is going on.
I think they should finish the story line for those of us that are watching.
That cant be the end! watched last 2 episodes & am more confused than ever.
Bring it back! It was a good show
So the people that are loyal and watch these programs get left hanging with no ending. Makes me not want to tune in to any other of your “new” shows.
Unhappy with the networks decision to pull “Happy Town” once again. Because some bimbo doesn’t like the ratings after getting people hooked into watching the show, then pulling it when there are only a few episodes left, leaves a bad taste in the mouth and makes a person wonder about watching any show on ABC for fear that they will also pull that one before the ending too. Now I know why I like “cable”….. so many other channels to watch!
How can a station like abc not air the last 2 episodes of Happytown?
My friends and I watched from the beginning and loved the show.
We NEED to know who the Magic Man is.
There is such “garbage” on tv now, reality shows included,
that this show deserves an ending!!!
Come on abc, get happy and air the ending of a great series!!!
You can watch the last 2 episodes online, but dont expect too many answers. They were entertaining and you will find out who the Magic Man is, but many many questions still remain.
What is wrong with you guys? Happy Town is great!!! Please give it a chance. I’m so sick of the reality shows and all the other garbage shown on tv. Happy Town gave us family night. We all sat around to enjoy the episodes each week and then discuss who the bad guy could be and what could happen next. My family and I were really looking forward to watching this show. Now its cancelled.. Please Please bring it back, give us something entertaining to watch. Happy Town must return!
How disappointing. I’ve been constantly checking TV programming to find out when the next episode of Happy Town will be on. By going to the Internet, I now see that it’s been canceled. There are more episodes, but they’re not being shown? Come on – we need a finale. When new shows are developed, please show them in their entirety or don’t show them at all.
My wife and I loved “Happy Town” hope they bring it back.
I really enjoyed Eastwick and ABC pulled it. Along came Happy Town which I also enjoyed and ABC pulled it too. Castle is an okay program but I like more of the sci fi genre.
Once again, a quality show with great potential is being ranked off the air before it’s given ample time to develop a good following. If anyone in executive decision land has half a brain, they’ll let this show come back and give it another chance. Please, don’t do another “Eli Stone” type bad programming decision.
I am very disappointed to hear about this cancellation as well. I hope they will at least spare us and say who the magic man turned out to be.
The networks ask us to buy into new programs like this but pull them after we are invested in the story line. This makes us hesitant to repeat this behavior when the next new program airs.
We are very disappointed that this was cancelled and we may never know the answers to so many questions.
Yes– It was a good suspense show !! BRING IT BACK !!!
I don’t want to watch baseball tonight.
