HAPPY STUFF!
"THE HAPPY SHOW" first aired in the late Summer months of 2003 on Evansville, Indiana's cable television's local public access channels. The program is a half-hour comedy-variety series hosted by Matt Hawes and co-host, "Happy," The Happy Show's mostly mute puppet. It's WEIRD! It's SILLY! It's OFF-BEAT and OFF-THE-WALL, and even a bit STRANGE!! But, it's all in good FUN for all-ages!! Puppets, cartoons, silent film shorts, Public Domain Theater, comedy skits, music videos and the like are featured regularly on the program. See below for some videos and info on where you can view the program, both online and on TV!
