THE HICKS HAPPY HOUR
Synopsis
It’s the 1972 season finale of the TV variety show "The Hicks Happy Hour," hosted by the Hicks Family Band—and father Richard is missing. This leaves mother Jill alone to keep both the show and the happy family image going if they want to secure another season. As the live taping continues, Jill must run between on and offstage while she wrangles her 3 rowdy kids and 1 loose tooth, faces her crumbling marriage, and grapples with the performance-driven life she’s built for herself and her kids. By the end of the show, Jill must decide between prioritizing the family band, or the actual family.
