THE HAPPINESS SHOW
"
The world's first, and only, television program entirely about happiness."

Free World Wide Television Distribution 

Help everyone become happier by helping us share The Happiness Show with television stations all over the world.

Created and produced by George Ortega, THE HAPPINESS SHOW premiered May 1st. 2003, on White Plains, New York Cable Channel 76, and has also been cablecast in California and Connecticut.

All episodes offered in MPEG format are available for free personal, public access, and commercial TV presentation and distribution anywhere in the world.  Just download them, convert them to whatever format you like, and broadcast or present them to anyone, anywhere. 

That's all there is too it!

 

Here’s how to do it. 

Watch a few episodes, and pick out one you really like.  Download the MPEG file, (about 280 Mbs) and burn it onto a CD.  If you can make a DVD from it, even better.  Then load up your car with friends, and drive down to your local cable TV studio.  Tell them that you want to “sponsor” The Happiness Show, and that you want them to broadcast a different episode each week.  Make sure you tell them that they don’t have to pay even a penny to broadcast the episodes as much as they want. (You don’t have to pay anything either).


For instructions on downloading MPEG versions
, click here 

If the studio is high-tech, its staff can download the episodes as they need them, and convert the files to the studio’s broadcast format.  If they’re a low-tech outfit, become the local Happiness Hero and do this for them yourself.  All you have to do is download the files, convert them to whatever the studio needs (VHS, DVD, mini-dv), and get them to the station.

If you need a signed release from The Happiness Show, please email us the form.  Alternately, we provide this general Release Agreement.

 To view our shows in steaming video, please select an episode set;
1-20    21-40   41-60    61-80    81-100    101-120    121-138

The Happiness Show is an ideal half-hour weekly program for high school and college TV stations, and community TV stations.  It's also a great way for people everywhere in the world to help learn the English language as they learn to become happier!

Although we would enjoy hearing from you, there is no need for you to contact us if you'd like to present or distribute the episodes. 

The Happiness Revolution is Here!
