patriot: Hey everyone if you are reading this-PLEASE HELP ME!! Happy Days is my FAVORITE show and have every episode before 1980 on tape (Happy Days without Richie and Ralph didnt even COMPARE) EXCEPT for 4. Anyways, these are the 4 episodes:
#51- Three on a Porch (11/18/75)
Richie and company rent a cottage at Lake Whitehead for a week's vacation. They try to act foreign and Richie says they are from Tunisia and the girls invite them to dinner at 8PM.
#74- Richie Branches Out (12/7/76)
Richie wants to meet the pin-up girl of his dreams. Howard talks to Richie who has fallen in love with a Wisconsin Cola girl on a poster. Richie tells Howard about his dream, he doesn't know what to say to her. Fonzie laughs at Richie. Fonzie receives a call in his office. Richie pulls out some articles on the girl to show Fonzie. Richie and company go to the Kwiskel Model Agency to get the girl's telephone number. They act like hardware businessman and talk to JB. They show him a map of future Cunningham Hardware locations. Potsie comes in as Mr. Tool and Richie thinks they have found Mrs. Tool, Wisconsin cola girl Angela Buvay.
#76- Time Capsule (1/11/77)
Richie and friends get locked in a vault at Mr. C's hardware store.
#77- The Book of Records (1/18/77)
A clumsy cousin of Fonzie comes to Milwaukee and works at Arnold's. Al wants his name in the Magilla Book of Records and wants Fonzie to jump over 15 barrels.

If you have ANY of these episodes on tape, I am willing to trade you for any Happy Days and/or Laverne & Shirley episode (not all of California--Milwaukee was MUCH better) that you want!!! I also have so pretty random TV specials like Teenagers Throughout The Years and some Wonder Years and Brady Bunch episodes along with a couple of Facts of Life. If these do not interest you, I will BUY the tape from you!!! Please respond!! Thank you! and stay cool!

I don't mean to get your hopes up....I don't have the episodes you are looking for but I do have a question for you. Did you simply record all of the happy days episodes or did you buy them from some place? I have searched EVERYWHERE (I'm totally not exaggerating) and I can not find any happy days episodes. They have everything but happy days. So I was just wondering where you got yours. I haven't seen a lot of the beginning ones and I really want to buy them. So if you could help me out I would appreciate it! Thanks! :wave:

No, sorry, Happy Days is not for sale. I really hope it was though! But before they can allow that, Paramount and some others have to give over the legal rights--they already gave it to Laverne & Shirley to Columbia House! When I first started watching Happy Days in 7th grade-5 years ago- it was INSTANTLY my FAVORITE show and I started taping every episode on Nick @ Nite and Fox 25. I have over 100 tapes of that and some other shows. But back in 2000 Nick @ Nite pulled the plug--good news though (not for me), but it is now on TVLand and they are currently showing the later episodes, so if you go to TVLand.com theyll show you upcoming episodes. And Im sure within a month they'll show you the early episodes!!!!!! Oh--and thanks for the reply!!!!:wave:

Thanks and no problem!!!!!:D :happyface
