We'll take you through episode by episode, with behind-the-scenes insights, trivia, interviews with cast and crew - and more...

EPISODE 1: AUTOPILOT
A once prolific show abandoned to the dumpster of time by a callous and overstimulated public: IF YOU'RE HAPPY & YOU KNOW IT is a show that has no match.

It’s the show that garnered praise and criticism alike from governments, alphabet agencies and dollar-store preachers. Join us—Max, Rory and our guest host Martin—as we dive headlong into the first epis...
