    Comedy Central and VH1 celebrates International Day of Happiness on 20 March

    MUMBAI: With 20 March marking the International Day of Happiness, Comedy Central and VH1 will celebrate the special occasion by spreading smiles to its viewers.

    Comedy Central will air special back to back episodes of famous shows like Telenovela, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Mindy Project from11 am, while, VH1 will curate 100 happy songs in Vh1 100 Shades of Happy giving the viewers that endorphin boost on a rainy day starting from 8 am.

    Telenovela is an American sitcom that shows comedy behind the scenes of a telenovela and its star, whose off-camera life rivals the drama of her onscreen story lines. The show stars Eva Longoria, Jencarlos Canela and Diana Maria Riva, Amaury Nolasco, Jose Moreno Brooks, Jadyn Douglas and Alex Meneses.

    Set in the fictional 99th Precinct of the New York City Police Department in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows a team of detectives headed by the newly appointed Captain Ray Holt (Andre Braugher). Among the detectives is Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), who frequently tops the squad in collars despite his relaxed, carefree attitude, much to the annoyance of his more by-the-book colleague, Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero).

    The Mindy Project is an American romantic comedy television series on a young obstetrician/gynaecologist balancing her personal and professional life surrounded by quirky co-workers in a small office.
