The program was known for its two hour block of children's programming (in later years supplied by the Fox network) that initially aired from 3 to 5 in the afternoon. In the early 1980s, programming included Inspector Gadget, The Smurfs, He-Man, and G.I. Joe.

During programming breaks, Happy, who was a hobo, would do children's activities from the WFFT studios. Also on the broadcast were characters such as Froggy, Chester T. Fox, and Lawn Boy.

Happy was played by Mike Fry, a television show host-turned inventor[1].

The show featured an in-studio audience, in which children met Happy on TV during breaks between programs.
