A FULL NEST AND FULFILLMENT
New Zealand’s first musical sitcom illuminates the arguably universal experience of moving back in with your parents as a grown adult — and finding yourself living yet again in your childhood bedroom. Happiness shows us that resiliency and choosing to work through devastating setbacks can lead to something worth watching. Tune in for the first two episodes back-to-back on Sunday, December 14, starting at 8pm on KQED 9
