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 enjoyed the show and would like to see it come back
I am also sick of these major networks starting a series only to cut it off without an ending. I WILL NOT be suckered into any more so you can go ahead and pull “The Event” right now and I could care less. If any decent series survives the axe, I’ll catch it on Netflix in the future when I can watch it all when I want.
I really like this show 🙁 I don’t usually have time to keep up with a series, but I found this one to be interesting and fun.
I really like happy town kept me in suspense. That is why I am going to stick to cable TV everytime you get into a show they cancell it. Done with it. Cable for me
i was really getting into happy town and then ,good bye happy town. yet they keep shows like,family guy ,american dad,the cleveland show, wipeout and all those other stupid reality shows on the air. i also miss -persons unknownand the gates.get it together people.get rid of the disgusting shows and leave the good ones on.
You people are so fullish. And I really don’t get the whole rerun thing beating out a great show. is that seriously necessary? THIS is why I hate TV these days. Happy Town was one of my favorites in years.
I’m not HAPPY at all. I loved this show. Just when you really start to like something they dang take it off. I’m really getting sick of it.
I started watching Happy Town on hulu. I like the show. ABC did not do enough to promote the show incomparison to other shows they promote. Someone on the inside of ABC did not want o see Happy Town succeed.
Just when I start really liking a show, they decise to pull the plug on it. Looked foward to watching Happy Town every week. I think the generations are getting dumber, while shows like Happy Town can’t capture there low attention span, stupid shows like Wipeout and Hole in the Wall do.
Men, to be frank the story was over dragged out, no end in sight kind of thing. There is also a thin line between boring and complicated beyond imagination. I just want to see the last two episodes and get it over with. It started out as a great show but they really wanted to milk a single story way beyond what is was good foe. I mean it was a small town, have other stories along the main one and have the small town cops excell or boom whatever, but just one single story line, the writers were kidding… Read more »
Just like the BIG NETWORKS Money Money……….There should be some type of law that requires The Networks to at least make a final episode so we who have tuned for all the airings could get some type idea of what the ending is or would be……….. oh well just another reason to tune into cable………………..
Happy Town is a great “thinking” show. The mysterious characters and the secrets kept me paying close attention so I could guess at “whodunnit”. Even after watching all the episodes online, I would love to see Season Two and the continuation of the Hunt for The Magic Man. I guess the world will never know!
I finally found a show that my whole family loves, it’s such a great show, and hope it’s not canceled
I Loved Happytown, I watched every week faithfully….I was extremely upset to learn it was being pulled from the airwaves…..I felt like I knew all the characters and was anaylizing all that was happening to figure out the killer….I always manage to find shows that get cancelled or pulled off the air for one reason or another and some promise to bring them back but never do……….I hate being left in suspense on an ending…. How do I find out who the Magic Man is…. or is it a Woman???? Will I ever know????
I am really hoping we will see the final 2 episodes of Happy Town! Some shows take some time to catch on..and although I don’t think it should go on forever, I sure do want to see the end!!!
This was a great show. Creepy, Mysterious and entertaining. I definitely would like to see a resolution if not a second season.
