Broadcasting & Cable, February, 1999

In an unabashed attempt to lure a young male audience, USA Network previewed Happy Hour, a new original series starring Frank Zappa's sons Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa in a riotous version of a traditional variety show. Happy Hour boasts sing-a-longs, nearly naked female dancer/cheerleaders, musical guests and a psychedelic-style set.

The series will air in prime time on Saturdays. USA Networks president of programming Steven Chao says he wants to introduce a show on Saturday nights that "isn't either some dark drama and isn't too cynical."
