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?

this sucks all the shows i like are getting pulled makes you want to just stop watching them all,
This network is bi-polar and I’ll bet the advertisers and affiliates are just as frustrated with it as the viewers are. “Happy Town, “Fast Forward,” Defying Gravity.” Why don’t they sell these series to Sci-Fi or some other network that will know what to do with them.
I am so bummed! I just watched the 8th episode and decided to see if was going to be back. I thought it was Stephen King meets Twin Peaks. Sam Neill’s character was just getting very interesting. UGH!
Do we really need another forensic/profiler/cold case show? Those seem to be bombarding TV. I really don’t watch regular television anymore because of that. I just pick and choose interesting-looking shows off of Hulu to get my fix.
I guess I’ll go back to watching old episodes of News Radio.
I really enjoyed this show…I can’t believe its cancelled!!! Just like October Road…I really liked that show too…and then the last episode sucked!! the acting was crap and I was very disappointed.
Bring back Happy Town, or at least show the last two episodes so we can get some closure!!!! I want to know how the movie “the blue door” fits in. What is Griff up to? i thought alice was dead! Oh, it’s just too much. i must know what happened!
I love this show!!!!! they need to bring it back . it was so gripping
I love this show! Bring it back!
Bring it back. We loved it! quirky and mysterious. great entertainment!
leave it to abc they always pull good shows happy town was great
Hey Happytown was great it got me hooked and I am a hard sell for this type of TV.
Bring it back and finish the mystery.
I hate when I get hooked on a show and they cancel it. Happy Town was just so exciting to watch. I loved all the charecters. The plot was really good. I don’t get why sometimes these big wigs think some shows are not doing well when they are. They will put them into a time slot that doesn’t work and then cancel it. If you want a show to show it’s true worth then let it air. You know after one season of the X-files it was cancelled because of low ratings and the viewers through a fit and… Read more »

I agree with you henri, happy town was a new show that got me hooked the second episode. The first episode wasn’t as impressive as I thought it could be but the second episode was so intresting I had to keep watching. There was another show like happy town called harper’s island which in my opinion was an amazing show so i had great expectations for happy town because it sounded like harpers island. I completly disagree with the ratings and believe it wouldn’t hurt to show the last episodes so we can have closure on the show.
They should at least air the last two episodes…..
I am disappointed the series was cancelled. I watched all the episodes on Hulu this past summer and got hooked. It’s mysterious and entertaining with great character development.
Unfortunately, it’s all about the ratings and I don’t agree with ’em. There are so many shows that aren’t worth watch such as reality TV, contest competition shows, etc. In other words, shows that don’t require much of creative writing. Is this the direction our country is heading?… Sigh.
