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 can’t believe they stopped this show. They didn’t even give it time. Not only that, but not everyone watches it when it first comes on.. people record it and watch it later because they have a life and end up watching it in their free time…. people catch episodes online (thats what I go when I miss one, I watch em on abc website)…. I have even watched Happy Town on the Hero cellphone using Sprint TV… WTF? How do they do these ratings anyways? By the number of people who watch it as an episode airs the first… Read more »
Im been waiting almost a year to see this series and now they CANCELED? Thats not fare for the people that love it like me. They should do the season 2 or finished and add it online so we can see all. Now im in suspence…really want to know how it end and who is the MAGIC MAN
I am very upset the show was pulled. Myself along with many others were very into the show.
ABC needs some new producers those guys dont know what the hell they are doing they take off good drama shows to put lame a** played out hospital dramas on come on ppl happy town was a very good show they didnt even leave it on long enough to get a good reading on what ppl thought about it only 8 episodes i think ABC is one of the worst tv stations in my oppinion they dont know what they are doing and are too afraid of showing a tv show that might be great or might not be that… Read more »
This show ROCKED!!! And they cancelled it? I watch TV on the internet at Hulu.com as do many of us high tech rednecks! Maybe they should start looking at the website’s rating’s, I’m sure there’s more people out there watching in Computer land than they realize. Well,So much for entertainment,Im heading over to YouTube to watch more spricket24 video’s.At least she’s more reliable than network TV. : )
We are or were great fans of a very creative show. It was catching on with friends and family based on word of mouth.
Bring it back. Great cast, mysterious events……….not your normal predicatable program.
Once again ABC pulls the plug on a really good mystery ! I’m sick of all the hospital shows, reality and cop programs. I don’t think viewer had the change to even watch this series. It is a real shame! Asking ABC to bring it back on air….won’t happen! They don’t listen to the viewers. We don’t rate!
Why pull all the good shows
I’m just so sick of the way networks shuffle shows around, take them off, put them back on . . . It’s no wonder that nobody watches; they never know when it will be on next!
im about to stop watching shows all together as soon as i get into one they cancel and leave an empty feeling. i liked the show but they don’t have the decency to at least give closure to the fans.
ABC sucks. Enough said. Who wants to see anymore reality TV? Let it go already. There are too many people obsorbed with those shows that are a drag on society but hey thats where the money is. Thats what its all about, right? Bring back Happy Town ABC.
Yeah, it’s so typical of American networks and television. They always pull the plug on shows before actually allowing them to juice up. I wish US networks would take a more European approach and not intend the story to last forever in the first place! Do it, finish it, then let that be that. ( Honestly, I don’t think any series should go past 4 years. Like those of us who get stuck on them, there comes a time where you got to move on.) If it didn’t capture “Nelson Ratings” standards, so what! DVD it and allow those of… Read more »

I loved happy town! =[
I am truly disappointed in the cancellation of Happy Town. I had a hard time catching it on TV, but was able to watch each episode on Hulu.com. Whatever means is being used to rate popularity has changed with technology. Today, we are able to watch all interesting shows no matter the channel or time thanks to websites like Hulu.com. I was caught up in the story line and looked forward to the next chapter. TV channels need to rethink how many viewers actually watch shows. I don’t we are all being represented fairly.
WHY, WHY did they cancel this show I loved watching it? They will leave stupid shows on like meet the Browns, Harry loves Lisa, etc. I really enjoyed this show. PUT IT BACK ON.
