Stuff Happens (TV series)

Stuff Happens is a proposed, but ultimately unaired, American sitcom pilot developed for Fox Broadcasting Company during the 2003-2004 television season. The show centered around the fictional family of a single mother who inadvertently becomes the central figure in the 2004 Presidential election after a chance encounter with a political operative.

The series was notable primarily for its provocative title, which was a direct reference to a phrase used by then-President George W. Bush's administration in the aftermath of the 2003 Iraq War. The phrase was viewed by some as dismissive of the challenges and consequences of the war, sparking considerable controversy.

Due to low test audience scores and perceived political sensitivities surrounding the title and subject matter, Fox ultimately decided not to pick up the pilot for a full series. Despite not airing, the pilot generated discussion and debate regarding the role of political satire in television entertainment. Information regarding the cast, writers, and specific plot details beyond the general premise is scarce, contributing to the show's relative obscurity.
