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 actually really enjoyed this show, I did only watch it on Hulu, but it was entertaining. 🙁
ABC has no clue. Bunch of idiots running that place. This show had mystery, suspense, and great characters. I found myself really looking forward to the next episode. Why can’t they give some shows a fighting chance. Just like Harpers Island, I thought it would just be a short summer show, with it ending within just a few weeks. Come on, is there a problem with finishing a show. What a blow, to not know how it ends. Yes, I’m mad you ABC morons!!!
so not happy with this…i want to know whats going on i’m so intrigued with the show…why is it good intelligent television that makes you thinks gets cancelled? perhaps because the world is full of brainless twits that can’t understand anything thats not spelled out for them with laugh tracks and cheesy dialogue
They did the same thing to ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Invasion’! I thought this show was going to be like CBS’s ‘Harper’s Island’ with an intended short run, yet an actual ending. (Maybe ABC should take some cues from them). When it stopped showing up on Wednesdays, I googled it to see what was up. I couldn’t believe they cancelled it, especially with all the pre-air promotions they did to hook audiences. I am not watching another show by ABC only to be disappointed, again! If they ever produce a show I think I’ll like AND they follow it through to… Read more »
I love that show and want to see how it ends. They really need to bring that show back.
I loved that show and have been waiting patiently and checking my guide every week to see when it is coming back. I decided to check the website and see they cancelled it real bummer, maybe the ratings were terrible due to timing Fall would probably be better.
I can’t even believe that ABC has canceled this awesome mini-series. Just pathetic of ABC! I am so tired of these greedy, twisted, perverted networks displaying zero patience and dropping such an interesting show. What a cowardly gutless move on ABC’s part. *** the ratings you cowards. Show some originality and even a single quality driven thought. You disgust me. I only wish I could get my hands on the executive that is responsible for taking away one of my top shows. I curse you with horrendous luck from here on out ABC and those responsible for axing Happy Town.… Read more »
Why can’t you let us watch the show? I thought it was great! Who checks to see who watches what? I think you need to ask everyone before you just take a show off like that! I would love to see this show come back!!!!
Like any missing child…………..WE NEED CLOSURE!
At least finish what you started.
Loved this show. My daughter and I enjoyed watching it together. I can’t believe they canceled it. They say it didn’t have enough viewers… I find that hard to believe. Bring it back!
I see that ABC is pretty stupid now.. LOST had it’s time.. and that’s the last smart thing ABC did, was to keep LOST on.. Now we don’t have LOST anymore and want to look for new entertainment.. We are looking at Flashpoint, and Happy Town.. Both good shows. and both cancelled.. Face it people.. the networks only care about profits instead of their audiences.. They are looking for a quick high ratings spike like shows like: Who wants to be a millionaire, Grey’s Anatomy, NYPD Blue, And the beloved LOST.. Come on, Stupid TV Networks!! Not every show has… Read more »
WE STARTED WATCHING THE SERIES AND GOT INTO IT SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL FINISH AIRING IT SO WE CAN SEE THE ENDING……BRING IT BACK
The show wasn’t great but I watched all the episodes and I would like to know the end. Let’s get it over with already
My husband and I loved the show. After ‘Lost’, we thought we’d never enjoy any other show again. Though I wouldn’t put Happy Town and Lost in the same category (Lost was absolutely the best!), it had enough suspense to keep us in our seats, and wanting more. There just wasn’t enough hype about the show before it aired. If ABC had promoted the show well enough to get the audience interested, the show would not have been cancelled. There was nothing wrong with the show…..people just didn’t know about it.
I loved this show! Didn’t even know it was on ABC until I accidentally found it on Hulu. It is so frustrating finding a great show with humor, intelligence, suspense, and decent writing, only to see it get cancelled before it even gets started. ABC should figure out how to promote shows like this before they air, get the excitement level up so that the ratings can be halfway decent! Give us a chance!!!
