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?

Cant believe they R not showing to last episodes on TV …Now most people R into the show..>Will never know what happens …????Whats up with that ….Thats crazy … 🙁
What a joke, another show cancelled. Pretty soon there will be nothing left.
I can’t believe ABC would leave the viewers who watched “Happy Town” out on a limb. At least finish this season’s episodes!
I can not believe that ABC would cancel a show with only two episodes left to air. I guess money talks – good programming walks. I liked the show and looked forward to viewing it each week. I truly think you people need to reevaluate your priorities. Bad move….
this is bull! happy town is one of the best shows on tv at this time, and they are going to take it off? ridiculous
BAND ABC HAPPY TOWN was thew best thing ABC has put on the air in a very long time & to NOT show the ENTIRE SREIES is just FLAT OUT B.S.!
My friends and I love Happy Town and have eagerly been awaiting its return tonight. Now I find out that not only did the show get canceled, but ABC isn’t even going to air the last two episodes!!! Why would it be better for ratings to air a rerun of Castle than to show the last two episodes of an exciting suspenseful show that I and many others have become addicted to?? Thanks a lot ABC—which in my mind stands for A Bunch of Crap!
Let’s all ban ABC……it’s CLEAR they care nothing about the fans of Happy Town. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!
This sucks, they just want to put more crappy reality shows on so they don’t have to pay money for better scripted shows. I guess I’ll have to stop watching network T.V. all together!!! Damn ABC!!!
ABC = Always Bad Choices. How about that “V” countdown timer during a crucial episode of “Lost” ? How can you show a “Castle” rerun (and I happen to like “Castle” and Nathan Fillion) instead of showing the final two episodes of “Happy Town”? Now that “Lost” is over, I have no problem boycotting ABC. How can you ask fans to get emotionally and intellectually involved in a show and then leave us all hanging? Not only that, but 2 weeks ago, the promo said “Happy Town” would resume tonight. You lying sacks of s*h*i*t !!
thats bs u all cancel a good show!! cancel some of the other **** on abc and leave happy town on!!!!!!!!!!
I think it is pretty crappy that you will not show the finale of Happy Town. It seens that good shows are taken off and bad ones are on in its place. It would not hurt you at all to show the finale on TV. Since that is probably not going to happen I and others need to now the website and when it will be shown on the web.
Are they for real? I have waited 2 weeks for nothing. First the Forgotten and then Happy Town. That’s it for my wife and I. We are done with ABC. They have no compassion for the viewers. Not to air the final Happy Town episodes is just mind boggeling. Don’t they owe the viewers? I guess there the REAL MAGIC MEN, they made HAPPY TOWN dissapear.
I loved the show. Was very sad to hear that it had been cancelled. Looking forward to te online release of the last two episodes.
I’m disgusted with ABC for cancelling Happy Town without even airing the final episodes on T.V. It makes me really reconsider watching anything on the network with fear that anything I spend significant time with will be pulled without closure. Shame on you ABC! Finish what you start or at least wrap it up by giving it an ending. I guess this show just disappeared with the magicman! Too bad, I thought it was pretty good. So much for my replacement show for Flashforward.
