Product Description:
"Happy Days" was set in the 1950s in Milwaukee the heart of middle-class America and told the story of the Cunningham family. Mr. Cunningham (Tom Bosley) ran the local hardware store and Mrs. Cunningham (Marion Ross) like all good TV Moms spent her time in the kitchen. Their son Richie (Ron Howard) hung out at Arnold's Drive-In with his pals Ralph Malph (Donny Most) and Potsie (Anson Williams) trying to be as cool as the coolest greaser in town the Fonz (Henry Winkler). Richie's sister Joanie (Erin Moran) tagged along whenever she wasn't at her friend Jenny Piccolo's house. The Cunninghams also had an older son Chuck but he mysteriously disappeared after the first season.System Requirements:Run Time: 575 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097360698640 Manufacturer No: 069864

Happy Days: The Complete Second Season finds Garry Marshall's immortal, 1970s sitcom hitting its stride with 23 episodes that continue to be built around Milwaukee native Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard) and his family and friends. But there's also a clear strengthening of one of the show's eventual, major elements: the close, if unlikely, friendship between Richie and Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler). As always, Richie is angling for a way to grow up faster, often getting in over his head. In "Richie Moves Out," the red-haired teen tires of trying to kiss his girlfriend in the goldfish bowl of his house, so he agrees to live with his older brother while finishing high school and holding down a job. The result: there's no time for making out when one is that busy. A similar scheme backfires in "Richie's Car," when the Fonz converts a racing vehicle into a family-friendly, second car for the Cunninghams, only to find after the fact that it's probably stolen. "Fonzie Joins the Band" sees Richie having to stand up to, and disappoint, his greaser pal when non-musical Fonzie presumes to join Richie's band in exchange for outfitting them in slick tuxedoes. Fonzie looks surprisingly downhearted, too, in "Richie's Flip Side," in which straight-arrow, young Cunningham gets a job as a disc jockey and develops an unbearable ego. In "Goin' to Chicago," Richie, Potsie (Anson Williams) and Ralph (Don Most) go on an overnight field trip to the Windy City and discover that stepping into the adult world (they visit a nightclub and end up with a whoppping check they can't pay) takes some preparation and experience they don't yet have. Tom Bosley and Marion Ross still look, in retrospect, as wonderful in the roles of Richie's parents as they did in the early `70s. --Tom Keogh

Yes, believe it or not, the Region 2 version of the Season 2 set has the original music INTACT! Why, you may ask? Probably has to do with different copyright laws outside the US border, I would imagine. So, if you have a region-free player and can play PAL-formatted discs (usually no problem if you're region-free), this is the best solution!

The series is great. Though it has been almost 30 years since I have seen any of these episodes, my ears could not help but sense the music has been altered. The background music was fitting to that era, it just does not sound like the original music at times. Nonetheless, the series has been thoroughly enjoyable for our whole family! Once again, a plug for the excellent service of Amazon.com. The ordering and delivery were excellent. Amazon has been a very reliable internet store. I am glad that ... Read More

This, as the Amazon review states, was when Happy Days hit its stride. And there still was a feel of realism to the show - not the silliness that took over in just a couple years after when the show was filmed before a live audience on a sound stage. And it was still based in the 1950's. Again, in just a couple of seasons into the future, the '50's seemed to have been cast aside and all of a sudden we had 1970's hair (Suzie Quatro's shag comes to mind, among others) and attitudes, and the episodes ...

Hard to complain about the lack of original music on this set when that has been more than advertised by other reviewers. I only went ahead and bought this it while taking advantage of a great Amazon sale a few weeks ago in which I paid a very reasonable price for it. Fact is the episodes on this show are really flattened by the substraction of the classic music. The main title is specially ridiculous as the Happy Days theme has taken over "Rock around the clock" with the action cleary not matching ... Read More

Yep, from what I've been hearing & reading, they've done the same thing with the "Altered Music" on the "WKRP" set's, added different music due to licenseing.
