Happy Days - The Complete First Season

Great DVD. Would like Paramount to get on the stick and release the Second season soon.

This is five stars based upon the quality of the show. Extras aren't important. The first and second seasons are both dramatic and funny - a nice mix. Other reviewers are correct when they state that later seasons, with studio audiences, became "cartoony."

Happy Day's was a successful attempt to extend the fun and memories experienced in the [then] groundbreaking hit movie 'American Graffiti' but, in a more family oriented way. The first two seasons followed that format pretty well.

If you liked American Graffiti, this is a good follow-up. For new viewers, I would recommend watching 'American Graffiti' first, then continue the enjoyment with this season set. Hopefully, the secondseason will be released.

I was 13 when this series started. I was in love with it from the start. I remember a negative review from the first episode that it was sexist because it had Ritchie trying to unhook a female charachters brassiere. Anyway when it went to a studio audience it got STUPID! By the time of the 4th year I stopped watching because it evolved into mainstream 70's styles instead of staying with the 50's even though it was a show about the 50's. Notice the 70's style haircuts. Everything happend at Arnolds!!! From celebrations to Judo lessons. I did like the episode introducing "Laverne and Shirley" though(of course not in this package). L and S worked because they started with a studio audience and ended with one. Maybe HD should have done the same and maybe I wouldn't have noticed how stupid it got. Like "All in The Family" and other shows the studio audience was there from the start, that is why it worked. But to me anyway all the late 70's tv shows were trash and laughable. Why do you think serious shows from that era are now being made into movies as comedies!

Happy days is one of the old favorites. Who hasnt heard of the Fonz? Season 1 is a treat to watch, and I recommend it to anyone who hasnt.

I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because the dvds have no extras at all. Go ahead and buy it. Hope they release season 2 soon.

It's treasonous, sacrilidge, and a tragedy that other seasons of Happy Days aren't on DVD. Doesn't the awards the show recieved mean anything to the twerps at Paramount and ABC?
