happy days season 3 coming out next week i believe on saturday 11/27/07 i wonder if todd and pavan found on the dd reviews anything about whether or not cbs/paramount has clearded all of the songs that the band did, on the episode they call it potsie love where potsie is singingto joanie put your head on my shoulders is cut out then we need to write to garry marshall and complain too him about cbs/paramount is doing, if they cleared all of the songs to what the band had originally did then the point is made if they did not garry marshall has to be notefied about this because its it getting out of hand. herre is is maling address f anybody woud like to plead there case but thats only if fans complain about it. I no there is so little that GM can do but hee is the question does he own happy days laverne and shirley and mork and mindy, i thought the producer and thee creator has the say so on what goes on with his show but here is the address it might work it might not but again garry has to no what is going with these decision making

The 27th is Tuesday.

that's next week not this one!

I didn't really say it was this Tuesday. I was only saying that the 27th is a Tuesday, not Saturday as studd wrote.

Hey angelmark10...do you have a list of original music for HD S3 so we can compare it to the DVD?

hey pavan have you and todd found out anything about happy days season 3 since you already reviewed the notes and dd cbs/paramount clear all of the songs that the band originally did peace

studd911...why do you think I'm asking angelmark about the original songs? We are working on this still. Review will be up soon and the link will be posted when it is.

Yep, I have a list. Like last time, these are from syndicated airings (TV Land, I think) and may not be 100 percent accurate. The songs are mostly in order, but there may be a few that aren't. If you have any questions about anything specific, I'll gladly check the episodes for you.

if these songs where heard on syndication i wonder if cbs/paramount will use the music that was heard in syndication, knowing cbs/paramount they might just chang everything

Thanks for the list angelmark! The set is not too bad. Two big problems, though...which the review will show. A few questions: what is "Wake up, Little Susie, Wake Up?" and "Ba Ba Love, Ba Ba Happiness, Little Oh Loneliness," those are there a lot. Are they replacement instrumentals or original stuff? "Dream, Dream, Dream, When I Want You" is also heard a few times, again listed as replacement inst. on the list...wonder if it is original?

All the Potsie, and the rest of the guys singing are intact.

pavan much as i have called out cbs/ paramount for svrewing up the dvd set, i might just by the dvd set it would have been if they woud have cleared all of the original music, but any way i will give them somewhat of credit of clearing all of the songs that the band had originally did is on there i do not no how many songs they covered on the original version but if it is on there then that is cool but which songs on there music wise did they clear

I don't know what you're taking about by "band." There really was no band until later on. This season had a lot of just Potsie singing. "All Shook Up" was sung by Richie, Potsie, and Ralph at the diner at a table. The foreign-language version of "Rock Around The Clock" was sung by those three sitting on a porch.

You'll find out what is on the DVD in the review, when it is posted.

"Wake Up Little Susie" - most popular version was by the Everly Brothers, it hit number one on October 26, 1957 http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/theeverlybrothers/articles/story/6596156/wake_up_little_susie

"Bye Bye love" - also performed by the Everly Brothers (and shares the same songwriters as "Wake Up Little Susie", Felice and Boudleaux Bryant - which would explain them using it multiple times) - the lyrics actually go "bye bye love, bye bye happiness, hello loneliness..."

"All I Have to Do Is Dream" was also performed by the Everly Brothers.


I'm glad that they left the guys singing intact - it just wouldn't have been bearable without that.

hey pavan what i was talking about about is in the third season when the show became popular i remember seeeing potsie and the band singing and performing allot of songs, you are right in the show there was realy no band, but i was so use of seeing them perfroming allot of songs. it would been nice if they had a name but we al no that it was just a comedy, one question, since potsie was actually the only one singing the songs with back up singers on the dvd do you think we will see all of the songs that potsie did on the dvd that is not shown on syndication peace.

hey pavan i just want to asked you this one question, and i swear ill never asked it again until i see the review you said that al of the songs that potsie and the rest of the guys sung are all intact right, question if all of the songs that the guys covered on season 3 do you think we will finally see the songs that they originally did on the dvd which are not shown in syndication because i remember on abc they sung allot in the later seasons just asking

It was hard to tell what they were saying, lol. As you can tell, I'm not familiar with much music, as I am with TV shows.

Pavan,

Just to back up what robyrob wrote, all three lyrics you quoted are definitely real, original songs that must have been replaced for syndicated airings. I'm very pleased to hear they've been restored for the DVD. I'm dreading, though, those "two big problems" you mentioned.

does anybody think that cbs/paramount cleared some of the songs in season 3 like they cleared i think about 5 songs on season2 i read that on the dvd season 2 review that is good that they left the potsie and the rest of the guys singing intact, but i wonder if we are going to see all of the songs performed on the dvd that is not shown in syndication, if cbs/paramount has cleared some music then that will be a great start, but one last thing i remember hearing in the syndication version both the lyric and the music from the Coasters Poison Ivy and the other song which i hear allot which i do not really no who sings it and that is you're got personaility i wonder if they are going to be on the dvd.

I don't know if they actually made an extra effort to clear the songs for the band, or if the fact that Potsie (and the Fonz in Superstar) sang all the band's songs made it easier. I would assume that it would be in Anson Williams' best interest to make a deal to have his songs on all the HD releases.

I would've thought that any Elvis songs would've been prohibitively expensive, so there must be a loophole there. It is really good to see that they included SOME original 50's tunes in there - whether they originally appeared or are just being used as replacements.

the "personality" song you are thinking of is LLOYD PRICE's - "(You've Got) Personality", it is one of those great oldies that I'd really miss if it isn't on the DVD's.

hey roby if i am not mistaken, i think pavan did say in the previous post that all of the singing that potsie and the rest of the guys did is intact, if that is the case maybe cbs/paramount did actually clear the songs that they covered, if i no anson williams he might help them make some kind of deal to use all of his songs, we are just going to have to see what the reviews say, maybe the songs are on there

All the guys singing is intact (Potsie, Richie, Ralph, Fonzie, Arnold...all of them). And as for actual songs...it is much much better than S2. It is even better than TV Land. However there are 2 big problems, not really related to music, but it could be...you'll see in the review. It should be posted by the end of the weekend by Todd.

Funny thing is, songs like Wake Up Little Susie was on some episodes in S2 but of course the S2 DVD had replacement music instead...but this S3 set has Wake Up Little Susie.

All the guys singing is intact

I REALLY love to hear that! It wouldn't be the same without Potsie & Band sung Songs...

i am so happy to hear that season 2 has wake up little susie, but is that the lyrics with the singing or is it just the replacement generic, o will either it sound good i have to give cbs/paramount credit for something as for all of the songs that potsie, richie and ralph had actualy performed, i wonder if we are finally going to see the songs that they covered on the orginal broadcast that has not been shown in syndication i no they have not messed up the editing footages and digital restored the ones that they found. if s3 is better then i might just buy it, but i hope the sameway they fixed up season 3 they will do it for the rest of the series, based on the song wake up little susie, they must have cleared that one as well as others i cannot wait to see th dvd review is anybody happy with the results pavan you and todd are the awsome maybe with the complaints that the company has been getting they had finally decided to do something, i wonder on the review will it show and tell what other songs were they able to clear, i no Fats Domino blue berry hill and im walking might be on there as well as you got personaility and the coasters songs anyway its all good, hey pavan you said as for the actual songs on this dvd it is much better then tell me, do you think they cleared some of the songs if it is that great. One last thing i wonder on the dvd will we see rge potsie richie and ralph singing on all of the episodes i hope so. Wasn't wake up little susie heard on the first complete season of happy days on dvd my fault it was bye bye love sorry.

I sure hope it's not the picture quality again? Or edited(I sure hope not) episodes? Looking forward to reading the reviews. But I'm glad to hear the music with the cast singing will be intact.

my guess is that they copied what others have done on some releases - put the intro only on the beginning of the first episode on each disk to save money.

I just skimmed through a copy of the set and I'm pretty sure that the problems Pavan refers to are that two episodes are clearly cut syndication versions: the episode "Fonzie's New Friend" and the last episode of the season (the clip show). Both run around 22 minutes and are missing the tag scenes. My guess would be that Paramount doesn't have the complete versions in the vaults, but that's not necessarily an excuse (the missing scenes no doubt exist somewhere if they'd look hard enough).

Also, the episode that introduces Laverne and Shirley, "A Date With Fonzie," runs only 23 minutes and 30 seconds. I'm not sure what was cut (there's an abrupt fade-out after Laverne and Shirley's first scene, so that could be it). It doesn't seem to be a music-related cut, though, because the songs referred to in the post above -- "Love Me Tender" and "Great Balls of Fire" -- are both intact.

On the other hand, there's a surprising amount of real music included here, not only the songs covered by Potsie et al but a lot of the songs played on the Arnold's jukebox (like "Hound Dog" after Fonzie punches the jukebox in "Fearless Fonzarelli"). Obviously Paramount spent much more money on music for this season than for season 2. Which is kind of disappointing to me because I like season 2 much better, but I'm glad Paramount seems to be learning its lesson a little bit and I hope the set sells well enough to justify the extra music licensing costs.

One likely reason why more music is intact this time: season 2 was done single-camera and therefore separate elements probably exist for music and dialogue, so they could change the music at Arnold's without removing dialogue. Season 3 is multi-camera with a live audience and many scenes probably don't have separate music and dialogue tracks, so you have to pay for the music or pull a WKRP and cut the scene.

That would explain why the only episode in the season-two set that contained original music, "Fonzie's Getting Married," had the original music. It was the only episode that season shot before a live audience using the multi-camera format.

hey jaime_weinman i was just reding your post, and let me just asked you this, you said that you skimmed through the set, the episode of fonzie new friend and a date with fonzie are syndicated version episode, on the dvd do you think that cbs/paramount found from the vault what was missing and put it on the dvd, and do you honestly believe that based on the lessons that they learned has cleared some of the original music, pavan had said that the original wake up little susie is on the season3 which to me is a good sign which tells them that the fans want there show to have everything intact, im sure garry marshall has gotten on them about thaat, i believe if season 3 does well, they might try clar more music for the rest of the series which would be cool, i heard that all of the songs that potsie and the rest of the guys had performed are intact, but i wonder are we going too see all of the songs that was shown on abc which was cut in syndication, because i no when the show got popular they did more singing, i think potse was singing one of little richard songs which coud have been cut in syndication rip it up i cannot wait to see the review it looks like cbs/paramount has seen the light, i wonder what they did with lavarne and shirley music. One last thing i ould like to say all of the songs which was not included in season2 it would be nice to hear the ones that was replace on season3 like the coastors, and the rest of the artist maybe cbs/paramount cleared some we will never no until the review. Hey jaime_weinman you said that there are amount of surprising music on season 3 is it true or is my mind playing tricks on me

One likely reason why more music is intact this time: season 2 was done single-camera and therefore separate elements probably exist for music and dialogue, so they could change the music at Arnold's without removing dialogue. Season 3 is multi-camera with a live audience and many scenes probably don't have separate music and dialogue tracks, so you have to pay for the music or pull a WKRP and cut the scene.

That's an interesting theory. It doesn't explain why the third season of Laverne & Shirley has nearly all of the original music that was played on the jukebox at the Pizza Bowl replaced.

It just seems like they had a much bigger budget for Happy Days compared with Laverne & Shirley for the third season.
