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 am , again !!! very disappointed at ABC – there are so many shows now that I was so happy to see and now are gone. They keep adding stupid reality shows that are mindless and stupid . Why not put it to a vote??? and how do you know who’s watching anyway –
crap!!!
I agree with all comments posted. Is Happy Town based on a book? At least then we could read the ending. Should have been on Sci-Fi channel…at least they air all episodes.
I am so disappointed that this show was canceled. It was dark and different. Refreshing break from awful reality TV. Please bring it back!!!!
I completely agree with everyone’s previous comments. I also got swept into the long years of Lost only to be disappointed by the ending – I did cry but that was only because of all the time I wasted. Any btw, ABC – you DID NOT ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS!!! Be real, Happy Town had promise but I should have known better. I too will never get snared into another ABC show again!!!
I am so sick of good show being cancelled. I guess networks think everyone likes that mind numbing reality tv. It was nice having a show that I could watch with my kids and not have to worry about the content! Thanks networks for ruining television!
I am pissed that they took happy town off cause my boyfriend and I enjoyed watching it and looked forward to it every week what the **** is wrong with the network that they would take such a good show off the air and not tell the viewers that is being canceled it ticks me off I get into a show and then its gone
I finally was able to watch the final episodes of “Happy Town.” The show improved as the season developed, but apparently ABC would rather have an audience that watches foolish pranks and nonsensical dating. After the disappointment in the abrupt cancellation of both “Flash Forward”, “Life on Mars” and “Happy Town”, it has become clear that ABC has no respect for its viewers. I will find it difficult, if not impossible to trust this network enough to try new show.
This is typical of the way the stations do business.You expect the public to show support of new shows,but those that do, are given the opportunity to follow these shows, only to have them pulled.To pull it before the final episodes is just ridiculous.I understand if ratings are low but at least give those who watched the series the chance to see the last ones!
ABC sucks for cancelling Happy Town! They never give the great shows a chance. Who is the Magic Man and why is Tommy’s Mom alive and crazy? Who is Cloe? The writers need to post some conclusions before my family is driven insane. 😛
In a world of instant everything, it looks like an instant following is now necessary for a show to succeed. For heaven’s sake, give a new show a chance. This show was started at the end of the regular season when many shows were wrapping up for the season…some for good. If given the opportunity to start with a new show or watch the end of an old favorite, of course people will watch what they are used to. Shows like this have not faired well in the past but have gained a cult following after they’ve been pulled….Twin Peaks,… Read more »
I agree with Pamela Moreira. I really can’t add to it… she said it all. I enjoyed the show and hope you show the last couple episodes with maybe a recap episode in there somewhere since it’s been awhile since it’s been on.
Please put Happy Town back on. Give it another chance.
My family and I are very disappointed, keep waiting for those last two promised episode.
I can’t believe that you cancelled the show. I thought it was great. Like Steve King meets Athagatha Christine and has fun with there characters. Making them out to be soooo scary. Lost was a disaster and I watched for 6 long long yrs. and was very dissappointed. Sorry i like shows that start have a middle and end well. Not in hell of pergatory sorry I’m Catholic and think Happy Town was a nice start to redeem yourselves. I Like ABC but if you keep cancelling shows that may have a chance give them a chance. Thank s again
flash foward was a great idea they just put it at a horrible time slot same as this show if they would stop making dumb time slot decision maybe ppl will watch the mystery and suspense shows like these!!!! utter idiots!!
