based on reading the reviews of all three shows who is going to buy the uncomplete product that paramount messed up, i am not spending my money on the crap that they screwd up, it will be money thrown away, i could see the hate mail that paramount cbs will be getting nono stop phone calls, garry marshal being pissed off of the sells which we all no will not go well, they really messed up big time, but again they have nobody to blam but themselves, dame them good luck buying the dvds do you fans really want to spend the money on a show that is not completed i wouldn't

Mork & Mindy set is not that bad. HD set is PATHETIC. L&S set is bad, but people can still buy.

I'd like to see it but I hate to buy it with so much missing from it, so I'm undecided. I bought the first season of HD & L&S. This is such a pain!

If no one likes what they will get from the DVDs, email CBS Studios and make your complaints to them.

Well, I wouldn't mind the replaced music. In fact, hearing the replaced music sounds interesting to hear. The eps. not being cut is the important thing. I know some scenes that were left out of syndication will be on those DVDs.

though as ive said its nice to see some of the scenes i haven't for many years
but if they could have used more of the original music i would have sacrificed
some of these scenes . the video quality is not any where near as good as season one but its not that bad .i have trouble with the season three HAPPY DAYS theme being used here instead of ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK i like the season three theme but it so noticeable that it just doesn't fit insinc with the credits.but i can live with that.just these music changes really bother me .i didn't think they would but ther really do .i takes away from the whole feeling of the show at times.

i know EXACTLY how you feel - i did the same thing, i gave my tapes away when I was moving across the country, thinking we'd be getting the whole series on DVD soon...

i had about 220 episodes on VHS (from TVLand and WGN) :crying:

Normally I would agree with that statement, but this is the first time it actually would have been better NOT to release the second season than this butcher job....it is a mess from top to bottom, the absolute poorest put together set ever, not just the music issues, but this set changes the whole feel of the episodes, edits that have no explanation at all, the wrong theme song and poorly edited as well, non-colored silk screened discs, and shabby packaging in a standard amaray type case. Paramount should really be ashamed they released this to the public!

LOL! Yeah, very foolish, but I understand that he was trying to avoid and eliminate clutter. But I got my HD S2 DVD set yesterday, and the generic music's not so bad. In fact, I like it. I wish I could hear those replacement songs on CD or download them online.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. It's like going into a restaurant and waiting a long time for your order. And when your food finally arrives after the slow service, it turns out to be lousy.

However, they did commercial advertise Happy Days S2 on DVD. Along with S2 of Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy coz I saw those 3 shows advertised on TV the other night. And last night, I also saw S1 of the Odd Couple advertised on a TV commercial.

well i still say paramount pictures had no business putting happy days season 2 if the music rights wasn't address and the editing correct, i do not trust big compaines buy the way how are the sellsdoing for season 2 and does anybody think, that once paramount gets lotsof complaints they might re-released all three seconds season with the originl muaic or no, i bet when garry marshal sees the poor sells for season 2 he will be pissed, i have said all along if paramount would have commerical advertized season 1 we might would have seen season 2 face it we will not see season three because of season 2 doesn't anybody believe me paramount hurt the fans and themselves there is no way around

just as henry winkler can't nor ron howard.etc. paramount /cbs owns the show gary marshall owns only the characters.the producers, the actors can't do anything.this situation as bad as it maybe is something we have to deal with.as long as they own the rights to the show they can put it out, not put it out what ever they choose man.it sucks but thats the bottom line.they are not going to repackage any of this because we want them to.once again it sucks but oh well.and if you don't buy it season 3 and beyond will never see a dvd release.so write , complain do what ever you gotta do .but the bottom line is sales if it bomb, as far as sales goes, forget about anymore dvds.

I've been seeing both Seasons 1 and 2 of Happy Days for $19.99 at some stores. I was tempted to get them but didnt. The same for Laverne and Shirley.

hey whatever will be will be paramount cbs shoould no that the fans will not buy season 2 with everything messed up, it will not work, if we do not see season 3 we just will not see season 3 that is the bottom line paramount hurt us the loyal fans and hurt themseleves but again what ever will be will be and if we will not see season 3 o well

I bought season 2, I honestly don't care about music replacements. It's been so long since I saw a Happy Days episode (more than 20 years to be exact).
