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 have largely given up trying to watch prime time network TV because there is simply nothing on. All of the UNreality shows are nauseating. If the recent past is is a templet for future network programing, give it up. Turn off the lights and go home early. The viewers that you have driven to madness and then forced to find alternative forms of entertainment will not come back to the drivel that you present.
Good Bye!
I just want to know who the magic man is?? It is driving me crazy not knowing who it is.
Networks complain about ratings, but they never leave a show on long enough to get people to watch. They do not promote the show and most of the time you have to look to find the time slot. Happy Town was a good show and I was looking forward to having something to watch this summer. I hate reruns and I do not like reality shows. You can’t get a baseball game on regular TV anymore so we hope that they will show a short series like Happy Town or Harper’s Island. At least they finished Harper’s Island. Please ABC,… Read more »
I cannot believe they cancelled this show. With all the other inane shows on, this one at least has an interesting story and I looked forward to watching it. Maybe with enough complaining they will reconsider!
Happy town made me HAPPY!!!!!
I think the name of the show has something to do with it’s ratings draw. “Happy Town” just sounded really cheesy! The show was okay once I actually figured out it wasn’t some PBS style kids show or something.
I can’t believe a network would let you get so caught up in a great mystery,then just stop right in the middle. Please let us find out who the Magic Man is.
I loved “Happy Town” and I looked forward to watching it every week. I do hope they air the last few episodes at least to give the fans of the show some closer and to find out who the magic man was. I know its a stretch….but I really hope if enough people write in these comments maybe….just maybe the show will not be cancelled and come back in the fall. Its not fair…I finally found a show that I really like and they take it off the air. When will this so called reality show epidemic end?? Shows like… Read more »

It would be great if they finish Happy Town!!!
Another of my favorite shows cancelled. What’s up with these networks? Could we at least see the final episodes…. This was another show with no promo moved from night to night and time slot to time slot.
I am really disappointed along with my husband. I enjoyed and looked forward to it every week.
Please, pkease at least air the final episodes of happy Town. This is a great show and doesn’t deserve to be pulled without allowing it to answer it’s audiences questions.
