which one are you buying? I would purchAse L&S because HD season one is too dull and that rock around the clock theme makes vomit. So since Fonzie makes 2 guest apperances in season one of L&S, i would choose L&S.

I'm buying both. They both come out the day after my birthday, so what the hell.

And really, many TV shows don't have great first seasons. What did you expect? :crazy:

personally I enjoy the first 2 seasons of Happy Days better than the "taped in front of a studio audience" episodes from season 3 onward

I'm definitely getting Happy Days season 1. The first season of L&S was rather dull.

Both. But if I could only get one on that first day it would be "Happy Days."

I love Laverne & Shirley and will be picking the Season 1 DVD up the first day it is available. As for Happy Days...I'm gonna have to pass on that series. :-/ I like the show, but there are many other TV-DVDS coming out that I want much more, and I can't buy every series that I have the slightest interest in. Plus, I always thought the first few seasons of that show were pretty dull, (I usually skip those on TV) whereas L&S was good from the beginning.

Both. Already preordered, actually ;) . Anyway, HD is a must and I haven't seen an episode of L&S in who-knows-how long . It doesn't seem like TVL has any interest in the show...

Neither, right off the bat. Between ALF Season 1 and Dallas Mini-Series + Season 1, not to mention starting college, I'm going to be temporarily wiped out.

I'll probably eventually come back and get both, after I get a few others first.

That is strange.

Answer us this:

Why do you then name Laverne and Shirley as one of the top 40 worst sitcoms?

And also you name it as one of the most overrated #1 sitcoms:

But before these posts, you had been watching L&S, posting on the board, and getting tapes of the show?

So which is it?
Do you like the show or not, because you are completely contradicting yourself.

First two seasons of Happy Days are great. Real 50s atmosphere, outdoor scenes at the Drive-in. I'll get those.

Later Happy Days (The Fonzie show: whistle, applause on cue) rivals the worst television ever made.

Laverne and Shirley I used to enjoy, but there's nothing really special about it fo me. Can't buy everything.

I can watch the show on TV but i won;t buy it. And i never purchased the tape of L&S eps i received eps n a tape trade. Th only reason tose eps are in my collection is because they are full length

The only DVD's I usually buy are TV on DVD and I might actually buy Laverne and Shirley. I'm not into Happy Days so wouldn't buy that.

Ditto on buying mostly TV-DVDs over movies. I find that Season TV-DVD sets are a better value than a few single movies. I'm mostly just into owning movies (mostly comedies and dramas) from the 70s, 80s and 90s, and I already have most of the titles I want from those decades. (well, the ones that are available on DVD, anyway) As for modern movies, I usually either just rent them, or if I really like the flick, I'll buy it on DVD.

Another reason I'm not buying the Happy Days DVD sets, is because that is a show where I would probably watch each episode only once, so I definitely have to pass. Plus in August I already have Alf, Boy Meets World and Laverne & Shirley on my plate.
