[QUOTE="Bobby Southworth, post: 436615, member: 4960"] So... growing up in a household with no cable until 1992, this was one of those shows I'd say we watched simply because it was on. Several other shows fit that bill. That said, I do enjoy some of it. Polly Holliday, Vic Tayback, and Diane Ladd were great. Linda was ok, but the singing...no thank you. Her singing the theme was fine, but all the singing in episodes. get over yourself. No disrespect intended, but I guess hearing how she was towards her co-stars doesn't help my opinion of the character. she was ok, like I said, being the straight man, that sometimes found herself in wacky situations, I could appreciate, but if the stuff about the ego is true.. She should have taken the attitude of Mary Tyler Moore, and embraced being part of an ensemble cast. Mary Tyler Moore show was also light-years beyond this, and quite frankly, while I appreciate the Rhoda years, it was always the antics with the WJYM crew that I enjoyed the most. It seemed to only get better each season. Speaking of Happy Days, I do think Ron Howard was pretty humble about Winkler stealing the show, but I do remember hearing that at one point, the producers wanted to change the title to "Fonzie's Happy Days, and Ron did say he more or less threatened to leave if that happened. I don't blame him at all. In my opinion, Happy Day's was best when Fonzie was more in the background, and not some kind of superhero. The first two seasons were gold, and the third, the first where Fonzie was given the spotlight was still funny at times, but by the 6th season, it was just a different show..Chachi.. waa waa waa. :re: 1970s hairstyles..outrageous plots. It actually seemed to become slightly more grounded after Ron left, strangely, and I don't mind seeing some of those episodes when given the chance. [/QUOTE]
