AB 01-26-2007, 04:26 PM I always thought Happy Days was based loosely on American Graffitti, I may be wrong. ladyprimeevil 01-27-2007, 06:47 AM no, annball, your right it was based on american grafiti..happy days also spun off a few shows, laverne &shirley, joanie loves chachi, wasnt there one more? not many know this, but happy days also spun off a favorite expression in hollywood movies buisnes.... if you 'jumped the shark', it means your show is a flop remember fonzie?

I think Mork and Mindy was technically a spinoff of Happy Days--Robin Williams appeared in that character, but Pam Dawber was not involved. treky 01-30-2007, 04:56 PM no, annball, your right it was based on american grafiti..happy days also spun off a few shows, laverne &shirley, joanie loves chachi, wasnt there one more? not many know this, but happy days also spun off a favorite expression in hollywood movies buisnes.... if you 'jumped the shark', it means your show is a flop remember fonzie? HAPPY DAYS was spun off of a segment on LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE that aired in 1971. AMERICAN GRAFFITI came out in 1974. a bit of trivia: AARON SPELLING wanted Tom Bosley for CHARLIES ANGELS, but when he got David Doyle instead, he named the character "Bosley".

"Bell, Book and Candle" was one; and I forget the name of the other one. Shake Zula 04-02-2021, 05:41 AM Harry & the Hendersons Karate Kid - Cobra Kai Look Who’s Talking - not sure if the show was called that, it may have been something like “Baby Talk,” but I’m pretty sure Bruce Willis still did the voice. Friday the 13th - Freddy’s Nightmare Star gate - or was that vice versa? Friday the 13th - not exactly the same, but same name and horror related Indiana Jones - Young Indiana Jones Chronciles If we were doing movies into cartoons there would be a lot more... biffbronson 04-02-2021, 08:17 AM Delta House (ABC), 1979 - based on National Lampoon's Animal House, 1978 MA 04-02-2021, 02:03 PM Harry & the Hendersons Karate Kid - Cobra Kai Look Who’s Talking - not sure if the show was called that, it may have been something like “Baby Talk,” but I’m pretty sure Bruce Willis still did the voice.

Friday the 13th - not exactly the same, but same name and horror related Indiana Jones - Young Indiana Jones Chronciles If we were doing movies into cartoons there would be a lot more... Tony Danza was the voice of Mickey Campbell in the Baby Talk television show, but Bruce Willis did the voice of Mikey in the first two Look Who's Talking movies. |
