I noticed they replaced the around the clock theme with the "Happy Days" theme song. Anyone know why?

I never seen this done on any station that aired happy days in syndication

bump

my guess is that is the way they received them in the syndication package - they have a different company distributing them than before (or at least its a different name/managed company) and its probably cheaper without paying for the "Rock Around the Clock" theme

So would it be the same thing if happy days was aired on a local or digital channel? Or do you think this is a cable thing?

i don't know if they handle local network syndication packages the same as cable, but I think they have a tendency to err on the side of whatever is as cheap as they can possibly get away with

I never liked those credits and it took me a minute to realize something wasn't matching

I know when CBS took over Paramount TV at the end of 2006 after Season 1was released on DVD (With Rock Around the Clock) they were too cheap to pay for the music for Seasons 2-4 including Rock Around the Clock for Season 2.

So it's the same on the season 2 DVD, regular happy days opening theme?

Yeah they use the Season 3 theme for the Season 2 DVD.

That's not entirely true. Only the season-two DVD was severely butchered. All the others appear to be mostly, if not completely, intact.

It's been awhile since I watched the DVD's straight through but I know it wasnt completely intact.

Well hopefully season 5 and 6 is in tact

Now I'm confused, tonight the opening credits for the season 2 ep.."BIG MONEY" had the around the clock opening theme


Can someone tell me what the hell is going on??-LOL

Now tonight the Happy Days theme is back for the "A star is Born" season 2 episode

LOL, this is some weird sh*T

Tonight "Rock Around The Clock" was aired for episode. "The Not Making Of The President".

It airs every other episode

That is so odd.

That is so odd.


Well season 2 is almost over so it won't be like that too much longer-lol

Hah. They used the 'Happy Days Again' opening tonight. Even weirder!

Well after Friday it's season 3 so it will be the Happy Days Again theme every night

I am guessing that it had to do with consistency. If you watch closely, you'll notice that the label on the record says "Happy Days,yet the song Rock Around the Clock plays. So they decided on the Happy Days theme.

Interesting theory, but I'm quite positive that's not the reason. You don't just change a show's theme because the song heard is not the song title displayed on a record shown on screen for a couple seconds. Even so, that wouldn't explain why some episodes are "Happy Days" and others from the same season are "Rock Around the Clock."
