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.

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..."

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

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?

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?

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.

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?
