Happy Hour premiered on FOX on September 7, 2006. Happy Hour... free buffalo wings... half-priced drinks... and the time between the end of one relationship and the start of another. Straight arrow Henry Beckman had it all: a great job, a perfect girlfriend and a sweet apartment. He was a big fish in the small pond of Amsterdam, Missouri. And then he let Heather talk him into moving to Chicago to work in her family business, where it all went wrong. In the space of one morning, Henry gets dumped by Heather, the girl he thought was 'the one,' learns he can no longer work for Heather's uncle, and gets kicked out of their apartment. It's in this vulnerable state that he meets his new roommate, a vain, flashy, loveable rogue named Larry Cone. Under Larry's tutelage, Henry begins to rebuild his life and goes to work for Larry's childhood friend Amanda, a beautiful mess who's unsuccessfully trying to emulate her perfect ideal of womanhood, Kelly Ripa. Will Henry manage to hold onto his traditional values and remain a hopeless romantic? Or will Larry indeed 'build a better Brad'? Whatever happens on the way to happy hour, they will always have an excuse to order a round and raise a glass.
