View Full Version : References of Happy Days on TV, in Films, etc...
Wreckless 09-16-2008, 06:51 AM Happy Days, being as popular a sitcom as it was, especially for a lot of kids growing up watching it, gets mentioned in a lot of tv shows past and present and even movies and in other media. I know Family Guy has mentioned it a few times. Once in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Chris Rock as a guest star jokes that "he will not be embarrassed by a black Potsie Webber" to Carlton :lol:. It also shares similar interests with other sitcoms- The Wonder Years, Everybody Hates Chris, That '70s Show and others, that it was filmed 20 years after the sitcom is depicted. Talk about and reference any other times HD is talked about or referenced in other media- TV, films and whatever else.
Wreckless 09-16-2008, 06:55 AM Oh, I forgot to mention, it was referenced a lot of times in That '70s Show, which is ironic due to the 20 year stat it shares with HD. In one episode, Michael Kelso is seen wearing a leather jacket to make his appearence stand out more, look tougher and to act cool/sexy. Kelso asks his friends how he looks and jokes "I'm so brando" in an Italian voice to the gang. Hyde jokes "good, if your friends are Ralph and Potsie" or something around those lines. Then Fez says "Help Fonzie, you are our only hope. A gang of thugs are taking over Arnolds." The jumping the shark episode is also noted. Also, I remember reading somewhere that Friends also mentioned the show in an episode or two, along with Seinfeld (I think).

Kelso: "Yeah, I'm so Brando!"
Hyde: "Yeah, if Brando had a Buddy named Potsie..."

My initial thought at the first glance of the second window was Laverne and Shirley. Oops.
Wreckless 09-27-2008, 11:44 PM That pic doesn't look like Joanie lol. The one of Chachi was a give away with the hair and outfit, so I paired him up with Joanie.

If you can...Go!
Send me a Postcard ;)
Wreckless 10-03-2008, 01:15 PM When I get free time off of school, I will try to go lol since the best time to go is when you're in college- during summer or winter break or when you have time off basically. And I will when I do lol.
Wreckless 10-03-2008, 01:16 PM Btw, today when I finish up work, I will try to find that episode you are looking for Iris. The one with the singing in the end or something, what season is it from?

Season 6. Episode: "The Evil Eye"
I know, they're singing *Monster Mash* at Arnolds at the End, but it's cut on both of my Tapes...
Hopefully it will be included when S6 will be released on Dvd someday.
Wreckless 10-03-2008, 01:25 PM Ok well I'll search my DVDs today, they are not marked so I have to do some searching lol and I will try to find the episode and see if the singing is at the end. Ah I hope they put the original music in the season DVDs further on.
spreckenzeedeu 10-03-2008, 01:27 PM ^ Thanks for Trying to Help. I really appreciate that. Even tho I don't have high Hopes.
Wreckless 10-03-2008, 07:26 PM No problem :). Ok I just got done a day's worth of effing work lol so in a min I will search for that episode and FF it to the end to see if the song is there.
vtunie 10-03-2008, 07:32 PM Lawyers in Love, Jackson Browne, 1982:
I can't keep up with what's been going on
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries of lawyers in love
God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into to Happy Days
Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves
To the mating calls of lawyers in love
Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, like Russians do
Now we've got all this room, we've even got the moon
And I hear the U.S.S.R. will be open soon
As vacation land for lawyers in love
Wreckless 10-03-2008, 08:16 PM Season 6. Episode: "The Evil Eye"

Iris I found the episode, the 3 of them are singing Monster Mash in the beginning, i will see if it is at the end also.
This episode is hilarious :lol: :lol:. *Sits on a lilly pad and eats flies*
Edit: they don't sing Monster Mash again at the end on the episode I have, only in the beginning, before the credits, it ends with the Fonz letting the old lady keep his doll...are you sure it was the end or the beginning that they sang it?
spreckenzeedeu 10-04-2008, 12:38 AM they don't sing Monster Mash again at the end on the episode I have, only in the beginning, before the credits
Before the Credits? That IS interesting! Anyway...Is it complete? Then I'd like to have a Copy *please*
Wreckless 10-04-2008, 12:56 AM I worded that wrong, it's after the beginning credits, it's the first thing that happens in that episode. is that alright? alright if that's what you want, I will make a copy- it might be hard to make a copy of just one episode on a dvd, i will def. try but if not, i'll send you the whole disc that episode is on. so the episode(s) you have of evil eye don't have monster mash sung at all, Iris?
spreckenzeedeu 10-04-2008, 01:03 AM I worded that wrong, it's after the beginning credits, it's the first thing that happens in that episode.
I have that! That's the Practice. Where Ralph is complaining how Potsie sounds like. BUT they are singing the Song at the End of the Episode (after the old Women left with the Doll) still wearing their Costumes.
So...you...like me...don't have that Performance. BooHoo.
Wreckless 10-04-2008, 01:07 AM Damn..yeah I don't have it. Because the last thing that happens on the show before the end credits is Fonzie letting the old woman keep his voodoo doll lol, but nothing after that. I thought their performance was really good and funny, Ralph says something like *you're trying to sound like, or you sound like Pat Benitar, to Potsie :lol:. But why do you want the performance at the end, because it's rare? Or you just want it cause you would have 2 monster mash performances in that ep. instead of one? I know you love Potsie and Ralph so I figure too you would want to see them singing and performin the song once more at the end.
spreckenzeedeu 10-04-2008, 01:20 AM But why do you want the performance at the end, because it's rare? Or you just want it cause you would have 2 monster mash performances in that ep. instead of one? I know you love Potsie and Ralph so I figure too you would want to see them singing and performin the song once more at the end.
Because I like the Song! Because I don't have it! Because I wanna hear Anson singing the Tune! Enough Reasons? ;)
Wreckless 10-04-2008, 01:21 AM Yes that's enough lol..:lol: I really like the song too!
Wreckless 10-04-2008, 01:22 AM Do you know if there's a site that has the song or is it just in the episode?
spreckenzeedeu 10-04-2008, 01:27 AM Do you know if there's a site that has the song or is it just in the episode?
If there would be a Soundfile from the Episode, I would have found it by now (don't you think?)...
Wreckless 10-04-2008, 01:34 AM lol yeah, but I thought I'd ask anyway..
Geez Iris, we're both looking for the same thing :lol: it doesn't hurt to ask lol
spreckenzeedeu 10-04-2008, 01:39 AM lol yeah, but I thought I'd ask anyway
Sure. And if you should ever find it, let me know...
Wreckless 10-04-2008, 01:39 AM Oh and Iris, I just thought up something and looked it up. If I could get the halloween episode we are talking about on one disc or by itself, I could convert DVD to mp3. I just Googled it. Then, I could get the monster mash song on mp3 and upload it.
Oh and why does Mrs. C keep making witch noises? she's done it like 5/6 times this episode and i think she did it in the previous 2 episodes I just watched.
Wreckless 10-04-2008, 01:40 AM Sure. And if you should ever find it, let me know...
I will. You do the same with me if you ever find it lol.
By the way, check the post above this one ^^^.
spreckenzeedeu 10-04-2008, 01:43 AM If I could get the halloween episode
Maybe it will be on American TV on Halloween? Could that happen?
I could convert DVD to mp3
I always connected my DVD or Video Player with the Computer, taped the Sequence and converted in afterwards...
Oh and why does Mrs. C keep making witch noises?
Because she's playing the Witch in "Hansel & Gretel" at the Theatre for Halloween...
Wreckless 10-04-2008, 01:45 AM Oh ok, I thought her witch impersonations were funny lol.. and oh ok, how did you hook the 2 together and did it work well enough? quality was good? and yeah it might be on American TV, dunno.
spreckenzeedeu 10-04-2008, 01:52 AM how did you hook the 2 together and did it work well enough? quality was good?
All you need is a Cinch Cable, with Red/White Sticks at one Side, and a normal Black Stick at the other. Red/White in the Audio Exit from your Dvd Player, and the Black in the Computer (next to Mic and Headphone, should be a third Exit...mine is Blue). Then I use Audio Recorder and tape a WAV File, which I can converte to MP3 afterwards. And yeah, the Quality is fine. Have you never tried one of my Soundfiles?
Wreckless 10-04-2008, 01:55 AM No, I didn't even know you had sound files lol. Do you have them on your site, I assume? Well I think I forgot you had them on their. Ok thanks for the help.
spreckenzeedeu 10-04-2008, 02:20 AM Do you have them on your site, I assume?
