This television program first aired in 2003 on Evansville, Indiana's cable television's local public access channels.
"THE HAPPY SHOW!" is a half-hour comedy-variety series hosted by Matt Hawes and co-host, "Happy," The Happy Show's mostly mute puppet.
The series is sometimes silly, always offbeat and off-the-wall, and even a bit strange at times, but all in good fun for all-ages!
Puppets, cartoons, silent film shorts, Public Domain Theater, comedy skits, and the like are featured regularly on the program.
The program can be seen by those viewers in the Evansville, Indiana area that have cable television on WOW channel 9 at various times throughout the week.
You can also currently see "THE HAPPY SHOW" on Huntington, WV's Comcast 20 public access channel!
