Happy Days

Great show. I used to love that show. I just noticed recently that it's available on Amazon Prime now. For some reason, reruns were limited to only Season 2 on Paramount Plus for the longest time. And season 1 still isn't available. Not sure why.
Season One is by far the best. Before The Fonz became the center piece and was just COOL. It was just more innocent, fifties nostalgia type, non commercialized entertainment. IMO.
I heard Disney is creating a movie from the show. Fonzi’s character will be bi-sexual and Al promotes being a pedophile as being OK.
Rock around the clock was a better theme song.
They dont show season 1 because of Chuck Cunningham. They dont want you asking questions about Chuck. Witness protection.
It’s Disney, so anything is possible. But yes.
Better than any current network TV show? I'd say yes.
That does seem like something Disney would do
IMO, Happy Days jumped the shark along time before the Fonz did!
If Disney is rebooting Happy Days then Fonzi will be female. Kathleen Kennedy is all about girl power.
American Graffiti and Hollywood Knights also amazing. Read a story once the the inspiratiin for the Fonz came from John on American Graffiti.
Ron Howard almost quit the show because the writers wanted to really start to focus on Fonz and Ron was more than happy to leave the show because he was going to USC (I think) to film school. He said he was promised the show was going to be about "him".
He did not say it in a dick way, he was just answering a question in an interview. By all accounts him and Winkler are good friends.
