Juan Sheet –
It wasn’t until the 3rd season of Happy Days that the shows popularity really took off,by which time it was being filmed before a (very) live audience and the plotlines were increasingly built around the character of Fonzerelli.These were great fun for a few seasons but the Fonz character grew ever more cartoonish and with the departure of Ron Howard,the series,in my view,went downhill.Which is why the first two seasons are particularly interesting as they have a charm that the later seasons struggled to maintain.Instead of a live audience,their is a laugh track(unobtrusive and tastefully used),only one camera is used in the filming and their is a better balance as far as the acting is concerned.Although the scripts revolve around Ritchie,all the characters get a fair crack of the acting whip unlike later seasons where it sometimes seemed that everyone was playing second fiddle to the Fonz.As a result,their is an innocence and intimacy about seasons 1 & 2 that is unique.I had forgotten just how good this show was (being nearly 30 years since i’d seen an episode)so this was a revelation.Ron Howard is excellent as Ritchie Cunningham,the geeky nice guy that everyone warms to but their isn’t a weak link in the cast.The characters are extremely likeable,the girls are nice eye candy,this is feel good tv at it’s best.It may be a seventies take on 1950’s America but it doesn’t date and works on 2 levels nostalgia wise,those of us who remember watching it in the seventies and those of us who might wish that modern life resembled at least some of the aspects depicted in Happy Days.A stolen kiss with a ponytailed lass at the local hop…bliss!

Seasons 1 and 2 are the best seasons of the whole series. The first two seasons have the original concept of the TV show “Happy Days” which first appeared on the TV show “Love American Style” in 1972 as “Love and the Happy Days.” Unfortunately, it is not included in the DVD box sets. BAD POINT.
In fact, there is an episode in Season 1 that is a sequel to the pilot. In the pilot, Richie wants to date this girl named Arlene. She shows no interest in him until he invites her over to his house to watch TV. The Cunninghams were one of the first families in the neighborhood to get a TV set.
The girl and her parents moved to New York City for three years and now return to Milwalkee.
The first two seasons take a comical adult view at growing up in the 1950’s in white middle-class America.
Someone in review did not like the first season which they purchased for their 11 year old child to watch and were surprised at the adult theme introduced in the first episode. They said that they shut the TV off and would want to return the set if they could.
I would have to tell that person that this was the way the first two seasons wer, but they would not have to worry about the other seasons, because after the second season, “Happy Days” begins to be transformed into a live-action Saturday morning cartoon. In fact, a few years later, it did become a Saturday morning cartoon along with “Laverne and Shirley.”
The TV shows became so cartoony and sugary sweet. No wonder Ron Howard and Donny Most left the series. Who can blame them? And no wonder why Donny Most did not show up to make an appearance on the series finale episode. Again, who can blame him?
The series started out so great and then was trashed. Yes, I know that the ratings did go up because of Fonzie being given a main role getting the second billing next to Ron Howard in the third season, but at teh beginning of Season 5, that was when the “Happy Days” series along with Fonzie, “jumped the shark” with regards to the show’s popularity and ratings.
In closing, I have to say again that Seasons 1 and 2 were the best seasons of “Happy Days.”
However, regarding the “Happy Days” Season 2 box set, I see that those THOSE CHEAP, PENNY PINCHING “nERDS” at paramount did not want to shell out the money for the rights to use the original 1950’s music on the TV episodes and replaced it with lousey generic music like which was used in the later “Happy Days” episodes in the later seasons. ANOTHER BAD POINT. Those Hollywood Studio Executive “NERDS.”
In fact on one episode int the Season 2 DVD box set in a scene at Arnold’s, you see the kids shaking and dancing, but there is no music playing. Also in some episodes, you have Richie walking down the street thinking about the dilema of the week. The scnes originally were accompanied by songs like “When You Pretend” by Nat King Cole and “Who’s Sorry Now” by Connie Francis. The music was supposed to set the mood and give the viewers an idea of what Richie is feeling, but the music is now gone.
But just talking about the seasons themselves, Seasons 1 and 2 were the best, the greatest.

このDVDはリージョン1なので日本国内のたいていのプレイヤーでは再生できない。PC（Windows）ではリージョンの設定を変えることで観られるが、変更の回数には限りがあるので注意が必要である。
内容は50年代のアメリカの地方都市に住む高校生らの日常を描いたコメディ。日本では『陽気なハッピー一家』のタイトルで1976年に放送されたのがおそらく最初である。１話がおよそ24分でディスク3枚に16話分収録されている。
主演は今や映画監督として大成したロン・ハワード（役名リッチー）。しかし登場人物の中で最も人気があったのは、高校中退でちょいワル、面倒見がよくて女にモテモテ、それでいて見栄っ張りで少々小賢しいところもある自動車整備工、フォンジーである。76年当時の放送を観ていた私は字幕や吹き替えが無いのも、リージョンが１なのも承知でこのフォンジー目当てに購入したが、数十年ぶりに見る彼はやはりカッコよかった。もちろん生の声を聞くのは初めてだったが、イメージ通りで違和感なく観られた。
内容の面白さは言うまでも無く画質も良いので商品に不満は無いが、当時の吹き替え版の出来も秀逸だったのでそちらのリリースも期待したい。
なお、ロックファンの間では女性ベーシストのスージー・クアトロが出ていたことでも知られるドラマだが、彼女の出演回はこのセットには入っていないのでファンの方は気をつけていただきたい。

La sit com degli anni della mia adolescenza. Tutti avremmo voluto essere amici di Fonzie. Tutti avremmo voluto essere Fonzie. A me sarebbe bastato essere Ralph Malph… e baciare Leather Tuscadero!

I just got finished reading a few reviews that echoed what I have always said about this series. The first few seasons were the best.
First, it was much truer to the 50’s. Versus later episodes where male characters had long hair (parted in the middle)….typical 70’s. How the “Chachi” character was ever allowed to look the way he did, is beyond me. I stopped watching Happy Days altogether, around the time Ron Howard left. When Scott Bao began was the true end of the show as we have known it previously.
Also, pathetic were the Potsi & Ralph character following Scott Bao around like a puppy dog. Another nail in the coffin was the character who played the high school coach in the later years (name escapes me), but he was a typical hunk, heart throb type. Totally brought nothing to the show, and was likely to pick up where the Fonzi character was declining.
But back to the real happy days. I liked the quieter, more reserved, and less exposed Fonzi of the early seasons. He was even cool with the nylon wind-breaker (before he was assinged a leather jacket).
The over exposure of his character in the later episode totally de-mystified him, and made him “too human,” toward the end of the show. Good example of a character staying too long; but more likely the show stayed beyond its quality content.
I for one will purchase the early episodes, because for me, there was no Happy Days beyond those.

Being a naive 8-year old in a late-30s body, I tend to forget the business aspect of releasing Happy Days seasons. I know it’s about money. That said (if I’m not mistaken), Season Three ranked much, much higher in terms of sales on Amazon’s ranking system than Seasons 1 and 2. I thought for sure Season Four would come along in quick fashion. It hasn’t… and no explanation, anywhere.
I had the thrill of meeting Henry Winkler at a Hank Zipzer book signing in May (2008). He was as electric, and gracious, as everyone has said he is (although I think he was somewhat cautious around a delirious fan who was neither female or a kid). Whatever the case, one of his handlers (for lack of the right word) said he would not be signing Happy Days merchandise (so much for bringing my Season 1 along), and it got me wondering just what is going on behind the scenes (granted it might simply be for the reason Mr. Winkler was there for the purpose of his book). I also wonder if all of us who are die-hard fans who criticized the DVD releases for lack of obtaining music rights from original episodes, lack of any “extras”, and occasional poor print quality have done a disservice to the whole thing. We can’t have everything the way we’d like it, but if CBS/Paramount pulls the plug on this, we might never see Happy Days in a home-playable form again in our lifetimes (so, yes, I would take what I can get in this case!).
After watching Season Three, I had forgotten how funny the show was at that point (and wildly electric and live). There is a palpable energy that is unmistakable. Yes, the “film” effect of one-camera/no-audience Seasons 1 and 2 are admirable, but Season 3 is like watching Elvis on Ed Sullivan. Pandemonium. And, Season 4 is probably the last “laugh-out-loud-funny” season of all eleven. Don’t get me wrong: HD had many layers, but some of the later seasons are heavy on sentiment (like a video Valium pill for the mind) and high 70s TV drama (who can forget a blind Fonzie shaking his fists at God while crying in a Brando-esque way, “How could you do this to ME? I thought I was your favorite person.”). But, even as a little kid I remember thinking, “HD that opens with Ron Howard’s Richie in his blue high school letter jacket meant “funny”; HD that opens with Ron Howard’s red college jacket meant, well, cleaner and often more schlocky fun.” Season 4 is that classic “high school senior” season. No Fonzie black t-shirts here. Just edgy, often risque humor.
This was the height of Fonzie Mania before they felt the weight of little kids. Before episodes were built around Fonzie saying smoking wasn’t cool, and eyeglasses were. Before the great Garry Marshall went all P.T. Barnum (“see the Amazing Fonzie Battle with the Woman of Catmandu!). … Hey, it was the 70s. Everyone gets a free pass there.
I’m just pleading with Paramount (hell, anyone): tell us why the hold up? I’ll buy five Season Tens (arguably the only really questionable season, whereas the final Season Eleven was brilliant, I think) if we can just get to the classic Season Four! Let’s put it this way: Happy Days Season Four was the #1 show of ALL of American television in that 1976-1977 season (yes, above everything; MASH, All in the Family, you name it). And for great reason!
An answer, please. Somebody. Anybody! I’ll be the guy trying to burn his 1984 Happy Days finale (“Passages”) to DVD in the hope the tape doesn’t unravel after 24 years if you’re looking for me.
Please keep it going CBS/Paramount and TV gods that be…
Todd

3 discs to run for 6 hours. A hit show for the millions of this TV show viewers. Full of real life comedy dramas by the veterans like Henry Winkler and others.
