What I find strange is that unlike before this year's CTS presentation included the last scene with the Cunninghams and Fonzie at the dinner table. Is there two syndicated versions available? Thanks!

I think that the episode that you're talking about is the one where Richie finds Fonzie eating alone in his garage and invites him over to eat with the Cunninghams. That episode was actually done twice and proved so popular that it was rerun each year in prime time over the holidays. The first time was the original version. The second time, which is the one that appears in all the reruns, starts off with Fonzie telling Al about his memories of that occasion, and then we see the scenes from that episode as part of a flashback sequence which takes up most of the half-hour. It sounds complicated yet I hope I've cleared things up for you.

I'm referring to the original Guess Who's Coming to Chritmas episode, which CTS previously aired without the final dinner table scene, but was included this year.

It's worth noting that CTS does air edited Happy Days reruns, which were designed to add even more commercials and annoy the living hell out of original fans such as myself.
