As I'm sure you all know, starting Monday, after a long hiatus, "Happy Days" return to Me-TV as the hit '70s sitcom "Happy Days" returns to Me-TV.
That being said, here are my personal Hopes and Prayers of what's to come.
Among OTHER Hopes and Prayers, I HOPE and I PRAY that the Complete 255 half-hour library of "Happy Days" on Me-TV is shown 100% Complete, 100% Uncut, AND 100% Unedited, as originally telecast on the ABC Television Network, including, among other things omitted from the DVDs, Original Background Music of '50s-era songs as well as the original 1st-season theme song, "Rock Around the Clock" (omitted from Episodes 17-39 on the 1st-season "Happy Days" DVD), along with all scenes INTACT from each episode.
I also Hope and I also PRAY that the original Paramount Television logo of the era (respectively the Paramount Television logo used for Season 1 in 1974-1975 as well as the Paramount Television logo from 1975-1984) is also included when Me-TV starts airing "Happy Days" on Monday, Monday, Monday!!!
Created by Garry Marshall, "Happy Days" originally aired on the ABC Television Network for TEN Years from January 15, 1974 - July 12, 1984, originally debuting as a mid-season replacement show in January 1974.
Its original Pilot was used as an episode of the Comedy Anthology series "Love, American Style"; in its first season, "Happy Days" had low ratings despite a good cast--among others Ronny Howard (fresh from "Mayberry") as teenage son Richie Cunningham, Marion Ross as matriarch Marion Cunningham, Henry Winkler as "Fonzie," and Tom Bosley as patriarch Howard Cunningham.
During this season (the first 39 episodes), "Happy Days" was filmed single-camera, with no audience and a laugh track inserted, at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, California after which the series from 1975-1984, at the start of its 2nd season, began being filmed Multi-Camera in front of a live audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles; the series spun off no less than 5 other sitcoms: "Laverne & Shirley," "Mork & Mindy," and "Joanie Loves Chachi" along with the short-lived "Blansky's Beauties" in 1977 and "Out of the Blue" in 1979.
"Happy Days" was the first hit series for Miller-Boyett Productions (originally known as Miller-Milkis Productions, Inc. and later Miller-Milkis-Boyett Productions before adopting its best-known Miller-Boyett Productions name), which produced the series for Paramount Domestic Television, with current syndication rights owned by Paramount's successor, CBS Television Studios.
