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?

Why not move Happy Town to a different time slot to let it build momentum?
I thought the show was great. This sucks
You can watch the last two episodes online at abc.com.
I’m very sad about this great series getting cancelled. I waited anxiously for another episode to air and it never did. I hope they bring it back soon….
I liked this show a lot it reminded me of harpers island. If you like Happy town I suggest you check it out. Anyways I could understand to cancel it for a new show but for reruns come ……
Everytime I like a show it gets cancelled. I really would like to see the ending of Happytown. I also liked the show Forgotten. Why does it always have to be about the ratings?
This is REALLY upsetting. It was a really great show, always kept me guessing. I dont want to watch Reality, i want to watch my Happy Town. This really bites.
this is BULLCRAP I watched every episode of this show, and one week i get sooo excited to watch it and it never comes back on! This was an awesome show and it is very dissapointing that they have pulled the show. and now for us who do watch we will never know the ending which sucks and by the time it does come out to air.. its all gonna be in one episode and crammed and stupid! ABC You suck!! I dont even watch the channel anymore … oh and you probably dont care what anyone has to say… Read more »
i can’t believe it i have my pvr set i loved the show i feel the same way dropping the channel all together boooooo
I do not understand! They have all the reality shows on that needs to be took off, all it is is SEX SEX SEX……….when a good mystery comes on with a good cast. They cancel it.
VERY disappointed that they yanked it. Really dying to know the conclusion. I’ve continually been disappointed by ABC yanking shows. Flash Forward, Happy Town, Eastwick….Ok, Eastwick wasn’t the greatest, but Happy Town and FF are great. I just wish they would stick with it. I wonder if Internet views count towards ratings somehow. I can never watch most of these shows until the following day or later in the week because I’m a single mom who works late and has a 3 year old. Can’t watch this kinda stuff with the little on watching too. Can’t catch up until later… Read more »
I very much enjoyed the show, it is right up my alley. A true murder mystery with what seems to be a more macabre twist is truly hard to find without it becoming hokey. But yet the popularity of “reality shows” continues to grow. When they truly are nothing more than hokey soap operas, which have flooded the airways. I hope they please bring Happy Town back. We need some mix in our programing. Maybe this could be something HBO could buy into. They have many really good series.
Thank you for listening.
I’ve been waiting for it to come back on. I’am very disappointed
Is CBS the only Prime time network willing to air a true murder mystery. This was a good summer mystery too bad ABC is not into risk.
Once again a show that makes you think is kicked off the air. I guess it pays to be stupid.
Once again, a show that makes you think and really is cool gets kicked off the air, while some real garbage hangs on!!
