Well worth posting. I like to read anyone's opinions on the show.

Happy Days was unwatchable before, during and after it jumped the shark in my book!

But Ron Howard was quite nice to look at then. And he was very cute on The Andy Griffith Show, which practically no one in Britain has ever heard of.

Anyway, without Happy Days, we wouldn't have Mork and Mindy, and without Mork and Mindy, the excellent Robin Williams might not have come to fame, so we might be left without such good films as Dead Poets Society, Mrs Doubtfire and Jumangi (I liked Patch Adams too.)

And a world where Robin Williams isn't well-known would be a lesser place.

That was a cheap jibe of mine about Happy Days. It was certainly 'of it's time', but I don't think it's aged very well.

I always draw a Friends comparison with that show - I'm sure people will say the same things about it in 20 years...

Actually Happy Days was about a time a few decades earlier than the time during which it was shot. So it never actually was "of it's time".

The worst thing about Happy Days at the end was the 80's haircuts when the show was "in the 60's".

I only saw some of the ones where they had the Elvis haircuts from the 50's. The 60's saw the advent of the long hippie-style hair. (cf. the aptly named Hair ). I don't think I ever saw that in Happy Days.
