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:TRT: 580 Mins.

The 1975-76 season of the highly successful Happy Days is largely defined by the placement of the Fonz (Henry Winkler) in even closer proximity to the Cunningham family--making him, tacitly and literally, a member of best friend Richie’s household. When Fonzie's grandmother moves into the ultra-cool, womanizing biker’s apartment, he takes a room over the Cunningham’s garage, making Richie (Ron Howard), his mom Marion (Marion Ross), and sister Joanie (Erin Moran) happy, but leaving cantankerous-but-lovable dad Howard Cunningham (Tom Bosley) something more than ambivalent. While several episodes deal with one or another conflict between strong-willed Fonzie and stubborn Howard--at one point, the two sue each other over a roof that collapses from the weight of Fonzie's pigeon coop--life otherwise lurches along for Richie and his gang. In "The Other Richie Cunningham," Richie tries an end run around his dad's expectation that he take a business associate's daughter out for a date. Enlisting pal Potsie (Anson Williams) to pretend to be Richie, the Howdy Doody-faced teen finds the plan backfiring when Potsie proves to be less than a gentleman to the unfortunate girl. "Jailhouse Rock" finds Richie and Howard sharing a jail cell after protesting an arbitrary curfew by police on teens, while "Tell It to the Marines" concerns a desperate attempt by Ralph (Donny Most) to earn respect by threatening to join military service. Not surprisingly, however, most of Happy Days: The Third Season follows the exploits of Fonzie as he constantly lives up to the reputation that inevitably precedes him. The two-part "Fearless Fonzarelli" begins with the Fonz so worried he's losing his cool that he agrees to jump 14 garbage cans on his motorcycle for a television show--and ends up with a serious leg injury. "Fonzie the Superstar" is a popular episode in which the Fonz agrees to substitute for Potsie as vocalist in Richie's band, then freezes up with stage fright on the night of a show at Arnold's. (Winkler's performance on "Heartbreak Hotel," while not exactly singing, is so charged with energy one can tell the actor was probably breaking through his own inhibitions during the scene.) "Bringing Up Spike" focuses on Fonzie's first encounter with child-rearing when his visiting, little delinquent cousin gets into a jam with the law.
Happy Days: The Third Season is definitely a peak in the show's lengthy history, just before the series took a turn for the silly (or sillier). This was the year Laverne (Penny Marshall) and Shirley (Cindy Williams) were introduced to the world on Happy Days (before landing their own spin-off series). And armchair TV historians will take note how sexist the show could be while it simultaneously takes a minor stab at American racism in "Fonzie's New Friend" (in which the Fonz shows up with an African-American pal to play drums in Richie's band, and gets a hostile reaction from whites in the community). --Tom Keogh

So far so good.. All episodes watched so far on the first two discs have nice crisp sound & picture quality, compared to the unreliable quality on seasons 1 & 2. Can't comment on episode editing...my memory's not that good & never taped the show, so will have to rely on others for this information.
Next, IMHO this season surpasses one and two, for the most part, due to its sharper writing, and more energetic playing thanks to the studio audience & influence of Jerry Paris in the director's ... Read More

This was the best DVD I've bought in a long time. I love comedies, and this one made me laugh so much, I'll watch it again.

AS of 2008, I still have the first three Seasons of Happy Days, and I think it is still one of the greatest shows in the 70s. I wish CBS/Paramount still has plans to release the eight remaining Seasons. Happy Days The Fourth Season should be released this Holidays before 2008 ends. Please CBS/Paramount, do not stall on Happy Days again! I have been waiting patiently for the release of Season 4, but I am waiting too long. Please reconsider and release more Happy Days.

I never write reviews or participate in leaving comments but i was compelled to considering i waited so long to buy the happy days 3 seasons available because of the negatives everyone mentions , and yes the seasons 2 & 3 are packaged differently from season 1 and apparantly
the fans that know the episodes well notice a scene edited here or there and certain music couldnt be used because of the expense to paramount but now that currently 45 bucks buys all 3 new with free shipping i would recommend ... Read More

The first three seasons of "Happy Days" need little introduction to fans of classic TV. The writing and acting was stellar- although the biggest change- and not necessarily for the better- was switching to filming the show in front of a live audience in this year.
The product itself is unfortunately abysmal. It's hard to image it being any worse. The care these shows are given is reminiscent of the hapless approach RCA Records took to marketing Elvis Presley's catalog in his final years. While the music ... Read More
