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?

In most cases I DVR whatever I can and this way I can fast forward through the commercial crap. I currently watch Persons Unknown and anxiously wait each week to see if that gets cancelled next.
I totally agree with the other upset tv watchers…TV Execs continue to pull programs off the air because of poor ratings. I watched Life on Mars, Happy Town and Flash Forward. You are not always going to make everyone tv viewer like every show, but give the people who do watch these shows a little bit of credit. I also agree with the comment on commercials. It is getting to the point that I am going to start watching cable channels only. They have commercials but are no where nears the 5 minutes I get during any given CBS, NBC… Read more »
i really liked this show i want them to bring it back
I am so disappointed to learn that Happy Town was cancelled. I like Castle, but Happy Town is WAY better. I watch all my tv programs on the internet. Are these stations tracking all its loyal internet viewers?! Maybe not. Maybe it’s simply not enough money for them.
There is a lot of boring crap on tv now, with only a few good shows. Happy Town, The Gates and V are the best. I can only conclude that the poor ratings are the fault of ABC by not doing a better job with positioning the show.
Maybe we should ban abc all together since they keep pulling perfectly good shows off the air. How about we all get together and do that to them.
My whole family loves this show and is why I’m on the computer writing this. TV stations think they are tuned in while we get turned off. They run 5 minute ads and play 2 minutes of show time. Then they have some magic formula that makes them move shows around to different days and times. I lost track of a show and didn’t catch up with it soon enough and had to wait for reruns. Sick bunch of paranoids. Who doesn’t like Happy Town. With that cast and the writing…sure it was somewhat predictable, but aren’t most? I agree… Read more »
I loved the show and would rather find out what was going to happen rather than watch reruns of something where I know what is going to happen. Please re air it. There where some amazing actors on it.
Really good show. I wish there was a season 2 and 3 excellent writing and producing. Realistic show Too bad some Big wigs, and rich people find the story line 2 close 2 home for The sheep to watch.
I would really like to see the show come to its conclusion. If the network doesn’t want to air the episodes download them so that those of us who enjoyed the show (and it sounds like there were many) can view them.
You know i really liked it and wish they would put it back on! Maybe if they had kept it going the and not been so wishy-washy more would of watched it..
PUT THE DAM SHOW BACK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT THE **** WERE YOUTHINKING!!!!!!!!
The networks are just the paid employers of advertizing dollars i guess
Great show . . . . maybe a cable channel thats nots corperate america’s bit## could pick it up
I really liked Happy Town and I am disappointed that it is cancelled. Iwas really upset to not have an ending to the show. I would like to know so many more things about the mysteries of Haplin.
I am so tired of the networks pulling off perfectly good shows. The people with the Nielson boxes do not represent everyone.ABC could have let Happy Town finish out as a summer series only to finish the story line.You stink ABC! Stop pulling off programs including Flash Forward and The Deep End
