happy days season 3 will have replacement music i just read it on tvshowondvd.com why cbs/paramount why, i just hope they have not screwed with the deleted scenes hey with the music replacements that means we will not see some of the songs that the band had originally performed if season 3 does not do well it would not surprise me at all since cbs took over the paramount shows, i wish there was a way that paramount would by the rights back from cbs, i wonder why cbs teamed up or bought paramont in the first place, anyway i hope season 3 does well if not there will be no ther release peace

Well, that bites. :mad:

i am not shocked at all, but accorddiing to what i have just read which you can check it out for your self that due to the simple fact that there will be music replacments expected some or allot of deleted secenes, cbs paramount should be ashamed of themselves but thats natural, this was the worst news i heard, but thats cbs for you they do not care about the show at all, they are just gong too put it out there any way, what i read was they felt that it coost lost of money to get the rights that bull, but season 3 did not have from what i heard a whole lot of music but it have been nice too see and hear what was heard, i am not going to spend $30 on a show if its not good lets face it people buying the show with replacment music and missing scenes will just mess up the collection meaning season 1 all the way to wher they stop, i might buy it or i might not which depends on the review i no that allot of fans are going too be pissed if there are lots of deleted scenes which is shoown in syndication, cbs should have bought another company damn them

even though happy days season 3 will not have any of the original music that was heard on the abc broadcast i think its stupid for cbs/paramount too charge $30.00 for a show which would not have anything that was from the original broadcast like season one was its like fans who waited a long time for the series that took abc by storm back in the day will feel cheated to be honest i would not pay $30 for a show especiallly if everything is edited i do not now who to blame for these dvd cbs/paramount or the music right company share holders

It will be interesting to see what they do with the scene where Fonzie sings "Heartbreak Hotel".

That's the whole plot right there. Where Fonzie has to sing...are they going to cover it all with generic music -- add "magical" screams where you can't even hear Fonzie sing?

MMMM?

I'm sure Happy Days season 3 will be another release that will join season 2 in The Wall of Shame.

EVEN THOUGH CBS/PARAMOUNT HAS MADE all of OURLIVES A LIVING HELL DO based on the decision making pertanning to all of the dvd's which they now own, does anybody think that they have much as i really hate to bring this up some of the songs especially for season 3 and beyond which the band had originally performed which is a must see.

how have they made our lives "a living hell"?:confused: :confused: :confused:

how have they made our lives a living hell, by putting there dvd out with the bad picture quality, music replacments and editing scenes that are shown in syndication, and making us spend our hard erned money that we work so hard on, on a long awaited series that is not like it was when it was shown on regulary television, and everything else which i refuse too get into. Does that answer your question

well, they've had some GOOD releases too. I've read that the DVD of season 1 of THE FUGITIVE is good, and their DVD of season 1 of THE ODD COUPLE is supposed to be GREAT, and season 2 is pretty good.

From what I've read, it's just their releases of HAPPY DAYS and LAVERNE & SHIRLEY that aren't very good.

And "made our lives a living hell" is pretty strong; don't you think?

not really just being for real about how they just put the dvd's out without trying to clear some of te music and cutting huge scenes out which shouldn't be

let me just add this that happy days is a classic show that we have all been waiting for and for cbs/paramount too put there dvd's out without putting the effort into it and think that it is going too do well is not, because like i said time and time again sooner or later they are going to have to anwser to allot of people and the public about why these dvd's are constantly being messed up, and my mother has told me this that certian things comes too an end. If paramount would have held on to these programs we might would have seen everything intact like we saw with the first complete seasons. i just got where i lost total respect for cbs/paramount

Well I thought Season 1 of Happy days was done fairly well - albeit without extras (but what can you expect?).

Season 2 is another story.

Hey you know what i was thinking too myself, which too me the damages to these seasons of happy days has already been done. If i were cbs/paramount this is what i would have done, i would have looked at a couple of episodes from both season two and three before i released them and tried too work out some kind of deal even though it would have cost allot of money too clear some of the music too these episodes and the rest replacments music in other words i would have mixed them up it would have worked in my opinion, but we all know how stubburn and cheep cbs/paramount is, they would not try to spend that kind of money of trying too clear some of the music too a few of these episodes. But i bet you all this that we will not see or hear any of the original songs that the band had originally performed. Which would suck if they did not clear the songs tat they did. That is all i am saying.

Even though i could care less about the changes in happy days season 3 that cbs/paramount made but when will the previwes be posted up

Two things:

1. You don't care about the changes? That's all you've been talking about for the last six months.

2. If you don't care about the changes, why would you even mention it when making this post?

its just a figure of speech whatever will be will be

hey i forgot to asked anybody who has happy days season 2 the generic replacment music that was used was that the same generic music that was heard on the syndication network or is it different generic sound

its different, a lot of the original music is still used in the syndication airings

Some of the replacement music heard on the syndicated versions is heard on the second-season DVD set, but most of it is new replacement music.

i am actually pretty worried about what they are going to do about all of those songs that the band plays - are they going to get Anson Williams to sing new original songs over top of the original music, or are they just going to cut all the scenes with the band altogether?

Hey like i have been saying all of the time, if cbs/paramount does in fact cut all of the original songs that the band did indeed covered in season 3 then they as might as well stop putting the dvd's out because not trying to clear some of the original is one thing, but as for all of the songs that the band had originally did on the show is a must i will be pissed if they cut those scenes out, let me take that back i would not buy a edited dvd version of a show that we have waited a long time for. I wish that garry marshall could have done something but what could he would have done

I agree. I don't mind other/replacement Music coming from the JukeBox or playing the Background ... but the Songs performed by The Band is a MUST SEE and HEAR !!!! It's a shame, when they would have cut them out or anything. They belong to the Episodes, to the Show. It won't be the same without these musical Moments...

Hey now that we are on the same page, i am glad that you agreee with me. But again the damages that cbs/paramount had did is done, which is why it would not surprise me if they cut huges scenes of the songs that the band had did, garry marshall really need to doing something before the rest of the dvds get out of hand, i am sure that there is something that he can do or try to do, i am sure he will be pissed off especially if fand complain about not only the music replacements but the scenes has a whole

hey fans who as waited a long time for our long awaited screwed up dvd of happy days season 3 by cbs.paramount. Since happy days season 3 is coming out in a couple of weeks if cbs/paramount does not at all commercial advertize hd3 then that shows you all who are hd fans that they care nothing for you me nor the dvd's that they will continue to put out. All i am praying for is that they cleared all of the rights too the songs that the band had originally performed. I called paramount home video and you can never believe anything you hear, but i asked her did cbs/paramount clear most or some of the songs that the band had did, and according to her or whom soever i spoke with has told me that if all of the songs that the band had originally did wthey would most likely live it in there, But there is no telling what cbs/paramount is capable of screwing up or changes. But come either next week or the date that hd3 is released if i do not see the dvd advertise then again that shows you that they do not care

does anybody think that cbs/paramount has address and cleared either some or all the songs that the band had originally performed and covered in that season, i sure hope so, they messed everything else up. As i have said time and time again if i do not see any commercial televised advertizment, or preview on the day that happy days season 3 is released then that prooves to every one of us that they do not care about the fans of the dvd's that they put out. If anybody sees the commercial on television please let me know.

it depends, but I think that they will probably just cut all the scenes in the third season with the band, including the little parts like:

- in "Fearless Fonzarelli, Part 1", Potsie, Richie, and Ralph sing "All Shook Up" (not as a band, just in one of the booths, into glasses for some reason)

- in "The Other Richie Cunningham", when Richie sings the classic line from "Blueberry Hill" before his date (as in many other episodes)

- I don't see how they can even do the "Fonzie the Superstar" episode - they can't just dub in some other song for "Heartbreak Hotel" with Fonzie singing it, and there is no way they could afford to get that song.

I just watched the two "Fonzie and Leather Tuscadero" episodes (season 5) this morning - with all those Elvis songs they sing, I don't see how they are going to avoid cutting the entire episodes out of that season - no WAY they could afford to pay for ANY of those songs. I doubt they could even get the rights to "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" which the guys sing in this ep.

as i was saying before if they cut any scenes out of the band doing allot of singing with the songs that they originally did garry marshall and us fans will not only be pissed but will not buy anymore of there dvds because its a shame how cbs/paramount wants to put the dvds out, there way, and again if fans stop buying it then they will not continue with the releases as i was saying all of the time. Could you blame the fans who waited many years to see the series uncut with everything intact, i do not think so, garry marshall cannot let this decision making that this company is doing continue to go on, it is his creation so he should have the say so. A friend of mine was telling me that woody Allen who owns most of his movies had went to congress and told them that he would not allow the studio or the movie company put one of his movies which was in black in white too color. And too me since garry marshall was the producer of happy days he suld have done the samething, look at jerry SEINFELD and bill cosby, they own there shows. i bet cbs/paramount did not even try to clear the songs, whats going to happen when the episode comes out where richie almost dies and the leather episode which was allot singing cbs//paramount will be in serious trouble with the fans and even garry marshall whom i think was sick too his stomach when he heard that season 2 was a bust. As i sad once before cbs/paramount can offord to take or misplace anything that the band has done it would a shame to do so. The only way we will all found about what was replace is when todd and pavan review the dvd sets.

unfortunatley it is what it is, and we can't change it. I'm not happy about it, but it isn't likely that there is any way that they could afford to clear the music rights for any future seasons dvd sets.

if you can live with the changes, buy the DVD's, if you can't, don't.

like i said we will have to wait and see what the reviews say again i would not spend money on a edited product i bet if anything is cut the fans will complain, but you are whatever will be will be
