Oh, Happy Days!

i preordered mine too

i hope they replaced all of the scenes lost in syndication - it would be a ridiculous mess if they waited all this time to release it, and then did a half-assed job

I would hope that it's automatic that these episodes will be complete and uncut, as originally made. What would be the point otherwise. I'm really only interested in the first 2 seasons, shot on film with all the outdoor scenes.

I prefer the later seasons (1977-1984) w/LB & Chachi, so I might not get s1 of HD. Maybe L&S if I can afford it-maybe I'll ask 4 it for Christmas.

Not just that... but hopefully they'll release it with the original music. (ex. Bye Bye Love in the scene outside of Arnold's where Howard goes into Arnold's looking for Potsie and Richie in "The Lemon").

In the syndicated version of Happy Days some spots have "generic oldie music" in place of "real' songs. (ex. Bye Bye Love, You Send Me, Wake Up Litttle Suzie,etc).

I have Happy Days recorded from a while ago and it has different music than these "later" airings.

Other episodes that contain these songs are:

The Election episode (Eisenhower VS Stevenson) - opening during credits (Wake Up Little Suzie)

The one where Richie thinks he has Mono from kissing Fonzie's girlfriend : the scene where they are at Inspiration Point (You Send Me)

The Holloween episode where Ralph comes out of the coffin, then everyone comes out from hiding where Potsie says Happy Holloween -- (Bye Bye Love plays in background)

Same episode - when everyone is dancing and Ralph turns out the lights (they are dancing to You Send Me)


There are other places that I can't think of at the moment.

Does anyone happen to know if the DVD-set includes subtiles? If it does, which languages?

So, are they any good. How's the video quality?? I'm guessing soundwise it's gonna be mono. No big whoof there - it's a '70s TV show, whaddya expect??

The DVDs are COOL, but they are lacking in any special features. The scenes that were removed for commercial spots have been added as well as other scenes never before seen on TV. Some of the episode seem like the same as on TV. Here is one shot never before seen on TV.

The picture below has Ralph working under his car, he's wearing a reed jacket and the person walking across the parking lot in blue is Richie, but check out the sign on the restaurant.

I got the DVD-box, I'm loving it and I'm drooling for more

Now let's all start pressuring Paramount to release the other seasons too as quickly as possible

[puppylove]

hello i am a happy days fan if anybody has the dvd of the series, is the show itself uncut and showing deleted scence that was not shown on the syndicated versions. And in the first episode of ALL THE WAY are they shwing a scence which was cut out where richie and potsie arel on the field baseball field throwing the ball to each other, i saw a clip of that in two episodes where richie got hurt in the motorcycle accident and in the last episode where joanie and chachie got married later

yes the dvd IS uncut, and it DOES have the scenes that arent shown in syndication.

[puppylove]

Hi thank you so much for anwsering my question. But let me ask you this, in the vary first episode of ALL THE WAY are they actually
showing a scene where richie and postie are playing baseball on the field and tossing the baseball to each other? And who so ever posted a clip of the picture where ralph malph is looking underneath his car is cool, now i have never seen that in the syndication versions especailly the reruns that tv land is running.
When i run out and buy the dvd, i pray and hoped that paramount pictures has edited back the original lost footages that has been cut from the syndicated version, i hate when that happpens, i heard that when happy days ran many years ago, it was a 30 minute show which ran 25 minutes long, and now it is only 22 minutes. I hate that especially the way tv shows are shown now. Ihope season 2 comes out soon too. Let me asked you this one question, i noticed that whenever a classic show like happy days, which has been shown on its original telecast goes into syndication, they cut huges chunks of footages, but when a show comes on to the dvd, how do the company who owns the rights to the series, go back and edited back in the original scenes as well as the original music which has been replaced with generic music or whatever that is? Once again thanks again puppy love
