even though I prefer L&S, I still got all three sets (Mork too) last spring, but one thing I don't understand is why the video quality for Happy Days season 2 was so atrocious and grainy and "old" looking, while Laverne's second season looked like it had been cleaned up and looked as good as something from 1976 could. I know season 2 of Laverne was after Happy Days season 2, but when we're talking over thirty years ago, 1976 isn't that much more recent than 1974. Any idea why the masters for Happy Days looked so rough while Laverne looked as good as it could considering the age? I have no complaints about Laverne looking great because it is my fave of the three, but Happy Days should not be so much grainier when it isn't that much older.

We've all been wondering about this since they've been released. It really makes no sense.

my opinion is that they cut extra corners on HD to make up for money "lost" on the first season set.
