I wonder why more people don't like Leave It To Beaver like I do. But I still think Happy Days is great. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Lil' Joanie]

I wish there were more Beaver fans its just as good as HD, it just does'nt have Tha Fonz. I'm not trying to offebd anyone or anything and I want to keep the peace, I just wished there were more Beaver fans. But we all have our likes.

[The T]

I just like it cause it's interesting! That's okay that you don't like. Everyone has different interests. I would probably like Leave it to beaver I just have never seen it!

see ya~The T.

Why I like Happy Days
By Pat

Happy Days was the show that couldn't be beat. It was the evening show while I was growing up that the whole family would stop doing what they were doing to watch. Mom would let us take our supper plates into the family room so we wouldn't miss the show while we were eating. It was a great show with good clean fun. Everyone tuned in to hang out with Fonzie and the Cunninghams as if they were the friends down the street. And that's rare to have a show like that. God Bless everyone who made the show what it was and Thumbs up to the Happy Days Fans who make it what it is today.

[The T]

Good reason pat! I call myself the T cause my nick name is T and I couldn't just do T cause you need to use four characters so I figured-the fonz-The T. Now its what I call myself all over the net.

The reason is all timing. It has nothing to do with the quality of the shows, and everything to do with the amount of people who have good memories about it. I watched the show as a child, and now that I am an adult, I have a job and can afford to spend money on those things that remind me of the happy moments of my child hood. It works in all nostalgia related fields as well. Comic books, colectables, toys... all gain poularity and value based on what generation has the money to spend on it! A few years ago, a Bonanza comic book could sell for over $100. Now though, you'd have trouble getting $20 for it because no one has memories attatched to that comic book any more. And now when I look around at collectables, I notice that Transformers and GI Joe action figures I played with are all getting to be worth some money... stuff I sold at garage sales for 25 cents each are now going for up to $200!

So that's why Happy Days ids so popular... the people who remeber it can afford to spend money on it, and the advertisers notice things like that.

[Richard]

I didn't think this show was any great-shakes at all.It came on a little too late to really cash in on the 50s-nostalgia fad-and lost it's focus when they made a superhero out of Fonzie.It is unusual for a show to change it's focus of direction as drasticly as Happy Days did.So many people were hypnotized by that show,thinking it was a cool show-being too young to realize the Fonzie-type character was actualy shunned and looked down upon during the 1950s.

[The T]

your absolutely right about the fonz-type character bein looked upon as NOT COOL and really the drags of society, AND it was really unrealistic making everyone want to be like fonzie cause no one really did. They made fonzie almost clean cut and stuff like that but they aren't and weren't. That still doesn't change my opinion of the fonz though. I still think henry winkler did an awesome job of portraying the character as if it really were cool to be a greaser.

[LaverneShirley]

Richard, I think you're missing the point. Fonzie wasn't originally supposed to be a huge character. Once they realized that all the kids loved him, they made him a bigger character and sized him down a bit so that kids wouldn't get the wrong idea and become greasers or gang members. As the years went on, Fonzie became a very tame person. He was still cool, of course, but he wasn't like he was in the first couple of seasons.

"Childish? Childish? Coming from a grown woman who throws tea parties for her stuffed cat!" -Laverne

"Well at least I don't sew L's on everything I wear!" -Shirley

"Well that would be pretty stupid considering your name's Shirley!" -Laverne

[The T]

Good point L&S. Very well put! Fonzie wasn't originally supposed to be the main character as gary marshall has even said!

Are you kidding? Happy Days was one of the most popular show of the 1970s. It was a great show.

Sorry I know GilliganLuver1964 posted this a long time ago, but I had to comment on his/her stupid remark about Happy Days.

Boring? GilliganLuver1964, in my office, Now! The reasons I Love HD is the characters for one, they were classic. The 50's were happy times for most of everyone. It was a classic time. The music , the clothes, the cars. The 50's had style. HD was a very funny show, one of the few that actually made me laugh out loud. And of course the Fonz, a true classic! One of the most loved characters of all time.

:eek: Look @ all the people who dont come here anymore!!

Anyways... Happy Days is never boring! I think someone inhaled too many fumes from the fire!:lol:

:woohoo: Amen! :D

But, about Happy Days...
This show is anything BUT boring! I love this show! It's funny, yet realistic (for the 50s that is...). Not to mention I like it because Potsie is a hottie! :D (Please don't beat me up for saying I love Potsie...I know he's TAKEN.) :lol:

I agree with you animalcrakers, the 50's had style, style that I love. The 50's is the coolest decade. And the Fonz was coolamundo.

I agree w/Pat & I_love_Fonzie, but I think what makes the show so gr8 are the cast/characters, especially Fonzie! Luv ya, Fonz! Plus, the show brings u back 2 a simpler time & gets your mind off all the bad stuff in the world. Do we really need anymore more depressing news? I THINK NOT!!! That's why I watch Happy Days & Laverne & Shirley! They are gr8! :)

I even read that Fonzie got so popular that they were gonna change the name of the show to Fonzie's Happy Days, but then nixed that idea because they thought it would cause too tension with the cast.

I like Happy Days because the cast works so well together. There really isn't a dull moment. You had some pretty original characters on HD, Fonzie being one of them. the Cunninghams were people you wish you could part of their family.
There is so many reasons why I love HD :)
