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 thought it was a great change from the normal “drama” and “comedy” shows. They are all the same now so Happy Town was a refreshing change and I really got into it I was excited to have a new show to look forward to and yes I was terribly upset it was pulled. I wonder if they include when people DVR the show and watch it later or watch it online are these ratings included or just those who watch the show as it is airing? Oh well my vote would be to keep it!!!
I was really enjoying this series, it’s unbelievable, how they can just cancel and take it right off the air. Re-runs make me sick, as soon as I know that it is a re-run, I would rather turn off my television. This is what I call very poor customer service!!
I really think this is poor public relations. You get people interested in a show and then you take it off, because you think the ratings are too low. We would rather watch the remaining episodes than watch stupid re-runs. When will you listen to your viewers.
not fair all the good shows they take off. It was an interesting show with a lot of question and no answers. I love that. That is what made me want to watch it again in hopes of some answers
This is ridiculous! Had they played the episodes weekly they would’ve garnered more support. This was a great show. Twin Peaks would’ve been cancelled going by the ratings guidelines these days. So glad to have anther crap reality show going strong :(!
Finish it off ABC! Don’t leave us all in suspense
This sucks!! I enjoyed the series. ABC won’t give any series a chance. Many of them bounce around time slots, or days and it confuses people. Dang it! Cannot we at least finish the episodes they have?!

Watch the episodes there!
Very upset that Happy Town will not be back. Why ABC start something and not finish it?
I was wondering what happened, I can’t believe you would pull a plotted series off the air and leave the viewers wondering…how rude!
I can’t believe they cancelled another show that I found interesting…. Eastwick, The Deep End and now Happy Town…Guess what ABC that’s 3 strikes your outta here….
We were so enjoying Happy Town, what happened ABC?
I can’t believe you would let people watch a show and then take it off the air before you saw the last show. I’ve been wondering for weeks what happened and why the show wasn’t on. jayne jones
OK everyone….please copy your complaints you’ve written here, go to the ABC website, at the bottom of the site is “contact us”….click there, fill out the form, choose Happy Town, choose complaint, and paste in your complaint. I’ve done that. But I’ve also raged on them at least once a week about canceling Happy Town. Then I go to the Castle site and yell at them there. Probably doesn’t help, but who knows????
Why in the world would you cancel a show in the middle of the plot? Why not finish out the season? You filled the time slot with re-runs of other shows anyway. All you did was let down what little viewers you had for this show and dissappointed them. Please send me a link to watch the last episodes of Happy Town.

Hi Cathey.
Here’s the link to the last episode :http://abc.go.com/watch/happy-town/SH5522992/VD5574265/dallas-alice-doesnt-live-here-anymore
But, don’t get your hopes up that all the loose ends are wrapped up. Far from it!!!! 🙁
In fact, the writers opened more doors and added more questions and mystery, so it’s a real downer. Sorry to tell you that.

Come on ABC. I need some closure. Just finish it off.
ABC= Already Been Canceled always has always will.
I said I wouldn’t let ABC get me caught up in another series, but let them get me again with Happytown. This was the last time. Never again ABC.
