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?

ABC!! Just don’t know how much people want good shows on TV. Like Happy Town was so good and getting better each show. I t Sucks that we can’t even see the end of it to know what happen. I for one and many, many others are tired of all the Reality Shows they suck . I for one will not be watching ABC any more unless you clean up your act and bring back the good shows you keep taking off . You Suck ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love happy town and abc family could have at least put the last two episodes on or have a specific date when they’ll be online! They cancel soooooooooo many shows. I used to watch abc family a lot and they did the same thing with Kyle XY and i LOVED THAT SHOW. Ugh its so annoying how they do this!
Another good show killed by the A-Holes that control what we get to see! Their rating system needs a huge overhaul! All of the networks have no clue!
This stinks! To have a mini series like this and then not show the last two episodes is really not right. I was so excited to see it last night and then it didn’t come on and I had no clue why. That is just wrong!
Totally annoyed with how abc puts these shows on & just as they begin to get really good they cancelled with no definitive end. 1st for me was Invasion, then Flash Forward & now Happy Town. This is why I don’t watch abc!!!! Let them have their stupid wipeouts & other nonsense.
Happy Town is a great show! Good acting, dialog and plot. There are so many directions it can go from where the story is now.
I bet you would get better rating from the show if it were in a prime time slot. 10:00 PM on Wednesday night is a horrible time! I had to watch most of the episodes online due to the air time.
Im incredibly upset about this surprise. I had no idea about it until i went to google happy town to check to see if the show was just bumped to next week and find this out?!?! what the hell ABC don’t you give ANYTHING a chance??? i mean, this a good show. It seems like lately you play about 5 min of a show and then if less than what 30 million are watching you shut it off?? They’re good shows (the forgotten and happy town) two of my FAVORITE shows actually. I hope they read this and realize how… Read more »
**** ABC and who the **** is the magic man????
Happy Town, a terrific show. Had it scheduled to tape tonight and it didn’t. Found Jimmy Kimmel, the jerk who insulted Jay Leno. The last two shows are cancelled. How stupid. Several weeks ago they stopped the show for a few weeks.
I loved it and can’t understand why no one watched it (per ABC), but at least give us the last 2 shows. Dying to know the finish.
What really is going on with this show that ABC has roughed it up?
Is it true that the actors are terrorists to this country and have been arrested?
I didn’t even get a chance to watch this show until the other day and since then I have watched every episode. I was happy that a new episode was coming on tonight and when I went to dvr it Jimmy Kimmel is on in that times slot. You heartless ******** better have the decency the give us closure and have the magic man revealed, killed and the mystery solved.
What the problem is that ABC did a very poor job of advertising the show and bringing popularity to it. It was a good show with suspense. It seems that new shows are all having a difficult time competing with shows that already have a solid fan base.
i love this show like jon from cincinatti. Ill never know what happened on that one and i hope this is not another one of those
Does it upset me? Hell, yes!!! It’s one of the two best shows on TV right now – the other being FlashForward which coincidentally is also canceled!!!! They’re burned my last nerve by canceling both of these series and now they’re not even going to show the last episodes???? The crap people watch is amazing! I can’t believe that people aren’t giving this series a fair chance. It must be that people don’t like to think. They like TV where they can watch, yell at the kids, get something to eat and not have missed anything when they get back… Read more »
Well, this is rediculous! Finally one show that I actually watch! I NEVER watch T.v. and finally I get into a show and get a good 8 other people addicted to it as well and then this happens. This show was so much better than Harpers Island which had an entire season (I think, the show sucked I didn’t watch it) but then this happens. Way to go ABC! I don’t get it I am sure more people would have watched the show than the 2 that watched its unexpected replacement.
Very disappointed that the final episodes will not been shown on TV. ( I don’t have the option of watching the episodes on line.) I just don’t understand why ABC doesn’t have the decency to show the ending. I am also very disappointed that The Forgotten was cancelled as well.
