Last week, ABC revised their primetime schedule and the final two episodes of Happy Town were bumped. The move didn’t come as a big surprise since the ratings have continued to drop lower and lower.
It was speculated that the episodes might air on a Saturday night in July, following in the footsteps of fellow cancelled shows the forgotten (July 3rd) and Eastwick (July 10th).
Now, the unofficial word is that the last two episodes of Happy Town won’t even be shown on TV. Instead, they’ll be burned off on ABC’s website. The show’s official network representative couldn’t offer us any details but confirmed that ABC doesn’t have plans to air the final episodes in the foreseeable future.
The writers and producers of Happy Town have been told that they’ll be released online but haven’t been able to find out when that will happen either. We’ll keep you posted when we learn more.
UPDATE: The last episodes have been posted. You can watch “Dallas Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” and “Blame it on Rio Bravo” here.
What do you think? Does it upset you that the last two episodes will be released on the Internet? Does it matter?

it is awful!!!!! they pulled the last 2 episodes. sick and wrong. not happy.
This really sucks! I wont watch any new shows on ABC ever again. After all, they will just cancel them after a few episodes. I was looking forward to tonights espisode. I had to get home from dinner and shopping so I could watch it real time……then find out they did it again! What is wrong with you people?????? Why dont someone take ABC off the air. They only thing they are good for anymore is the news. ABC promised to at least show the final episode. What liars. You should restructure your network and get new people…people who can… Read more »
I can’t believe this, I loved the show and want to see the final episodes!!!
I am really upset that they are not airing the last two episodes. It is only 2 weeks and we need to find out who is the magic man. I love Happy Town. If they are going to put them on the internet then they need to hurry up and release it to the internet. I want to see how the story ends now, not a month down the road. And someone brought up a good point, everyone’s computer is not fast enough to watch the episodes on and everyone still does not have computers. They really should have just… Read more »
ABC u really suck i was really getting into this show after a few episodes u cancel it i wont be watching ur net work i am really dissapointed in u
I’m really upset Happy Town was canceled. I just got ready to sit down and watch the episode they said would be shown and noticed it wasn’t on the guide.
im with jamie:(
I loved this show and I was so looking forward to watching this tonight, only to find out Castle is on and Happy Town has been canceled. I’m so disappointed in ABC why are you always canceling shows I love? October Road (most of the same actors hmm…) Life on Mars and now Happy Town. What’s the deal? Are these shows to witty for some viewers? ABC could at least show the last two episodes so we know how it ends!
I think it is pretty bad that there was no announcement of it being cancelled.
Last episode that was aired stated it would be on in two weeks then nothing.
I watch ABC almost all the time, is it time to boycott it?? I think you should have
the last episodes on.
Happy Town final episodes at abc.com starting tomorrow. Check out the link below.

I think they could have at least put on the last to episodes. Why did they not just air them, why so they could just put on repeats of another show. At least play the last two episode for the viewers who were watching. Its unfair to just leave us hanging, we want to know who the killer is.
GEEZZ! I actually got into this show and Eastwick! At least with Eastwick when ABC canceled it veiwers sorta knew the back round but there was more to go with that show if the writers stayed smart. But Happy Town! This can not be canceled yet! I WANNA KNOW WHO THE MAGIC MAN IS!?!?!?!? Is there one, is it Aliens? How is Mrs. Haplin in on it all? WTH!
I hope that for the followers ABC at least gives us something, because something is always better than nothing
What a joke! There are very few reasons I watched ABC and this is the reason why. Happy Town was a good show and not showing the finale is a huge mistake for ABC. Nothing to get excited about on that network now, I guess it is CBS and FOX!
I am just now finding out that ABC cancelled Happy Town. I am so disappointed in the network and I will not be watching it anymore. Sorry ABC your loss.
I think it stinks. If they start a show they need to at least show the finally on air. If they plan on having more reality tv, game shows or talk shows then I won’t be watching. ABC is really getting unbearable. I really liked Happy
Town.
