What is your all-time favorite episode of Happy Days and why?

Wayne's World · 02-19-2000, 09:59 PM

Probably 150 "Burlesque" Although there are about 20 that stand out, I loved Burlesque. It's really fast-paced, a lot of one-liners & pretty girls. There's a scene that Nick deleted that I want to share here, maybe you have it: It's the one where Rich's wife is making out with Fonzie, then they hide under the bed, Rich comes home, peeks under the bed & asks the 4 others what they'd likd for dinner. They all leave, & another pretty blonde appears, & Rich says: "I thought they'd never leave."

ALthough I think there are a lot of great episodes(Passages, Welcome Home, No Tell Motel, Richie's Marriage, birth of little Richie, Richie almost dies etc..)
My two favorites are:

1) Fools Rush In, I Love at the very end where Chachi is going to just give up on Joanie and figures they will never be together and she grabs him and kisses him.

2) My favorite episode of all time is "Turn around and You're Home" My favorite part is when Joanie is inside Arnolds by herself playing the Jukebox and Chachi gives her the rose and says "I can do my music anywhere but there is only one you."

Just about all the episodes with Richie are my favorites, but there are a few that stand out for me.

1.) "Time Capsule". I loved how at the end we see that Fonzie really was scared, "I know you know, but he don't haveta know!". And I always crack up when Richie says "I think he said 'Loosen the bell, the goat is home.'

2.) "Fonzie's Funeral" It was just a great episode in my opinion, even guest-starring the L&S cast!

3.) "Guess Who's Coming to Christmas" I liked the sensitive side of Fonzie it showed and how he really became part of the family, at least for that evening

Trivia time: who is the redhead in Burlesque episode and who is she better known as today?

I thought the episodes where the cast members could show off their singing or dancing talents were pretty good. They were a nice change of pace.

I liked the Be My Valentine episode but the other 'variety' episode American Musical in season 8 I did not like as much..

Who liked/hated the variety type or flashback episodes?

ritchi · 03-04-2000, 11:24 PM

here goes, #1-Fonzie's Ravioli Christmas-because I've had one of those, #2-Fonzie Goes Blind-great acting by Henry, lots of sentimental moments,#3-Joannie Runs Away From Home-I hated 15 too!, #4 Fonzie's Jump-Hey Mr.C, you look great in the glasses with the big nose!,#5-The Reunion show Ralph an Richie come home-it was great to see the gang together again. Special message to Nick At Nite:Thanks for bringing the show back I can't get enough of Happy Days, but don't think for a minute that we fans don't notice you're cutting out alot of scenes.

My favorite episodes would be from the later seasons. The episodes like Welcome Home, The Ballad of Joanie and Chachi, and Of course the wedding.

Have any of you guys called or emailed Nick-At-Nite lately? I wonder what they are thinking of doing since the last time I spoke to them they said they were thinking about it.

Take Care

My favorite episode of Happy Days is "Fools Rush In."

It's my favorite because I love how Chachi tries so hard to impress Joanie and get her to take him seriously. At the end of the episode he finally gives up and tells her that "it just wasn't meant to be" and says goodnight. Then she unexpectedly kisses him. It's the best!

I don't know the name,but I think it was the first season.("Rock around the clock"an Chuck was still around)When they have the halloween party at the haunted house.

Chachi's Girl · 04-12-2000, 05:10 PM

My favorite episode is "Shotgun Wedding" I liked how Fonzi didn't want to mess his hair up putting on the cow costume but it was worth it.

Pinky · 06-05-2000, 06:18 PM

My favorite episode is Fonzie loves Pinky. Because it's romantic and cool that fonzie keeps his cool.

My favorite episode of all time is "Welcome Home". The writing in this episode is so superb. Think about it.

1)Richie hits Fonzie which probably made every first-run tv viewer gasp with shock.
But inevitible it shows the growth of Richie as a man and with his relationship with the Fonz.

2)Take notice that a few lines here and there have Richie sticking up for Potsie.
This may not seem like much, but the writers for this episode wrote like if it were the last episode ever and in many eyes it was, but the Richie-Potsie relationship dates back of course to the initial premise of the show and there are some underlining dialogue representing that.

3)The Howdy Doody lamp. No matter the Richie from the 1st season, or Richie from the last season, Richie will always be that Howdy Doody freckle faced boy from Milwaukee. The fact that Mrs. C. accidentally smashes the lamp is a symbol that good ole red headed Richie the C's time has ended in Milwaukee and its time for him to step away and leave as a man.

4)Richie, Potsie, Ralph and Fonz singing at the piano. Like I said, the writers wrote as if this was the final episode ever and it should have made any Happy Days fan proud and melloncolly to see the fab-four around the piano singing BlueBerry Hill together....leaves a lump in my throat just thinking about it.

5)Finally the answer to the mysterious question of why Happy Days got rid of Chuck.
When Richie thanks Fonzie before he leaves for California, he talks about how Fonzie was like a brother to him. Most fans realized already why Richies brother Chuck was elliminated from the show in season 2,but the fact that it is reminded in the final scene at the door, brings a lot of signs of approval from true HD lovers.

The entire 2 parter is incredible and emotional to watch and I would have loved to seen HD end there. Chachi and Joanie getting married was a good ending, but this was more significant with the entire series, not just the last few seasons.

incidentally my favorite 'regular' episode has to be the one when Fonzie is blind. It just is.
