Default All in the Family or Happy Days?

Well we know AITF ruled the first half of the 70's and HD was popular during the last half of the 70's. I'm a fan of both shows and i give AITF the slight edge because Fonzie was a little too cartoonish for me. AITF had one bad season while HD had 5 so AITF WINS!!

That's a tough one. I'm a fan of both shows. I guess I have to go with All in the Family. I liked Archie more than the Fonz. TvSHOW, are you going to buy Happy Days season 1 in August? Season 1 wasn't one of my faves, but I haven't seen the show in almost 2 years so I'm definitely buying season 1.

HD just seemed more LIVELY after season 2. It was too dry and boring with the around the clock opening credits. I hate seasons 1 and 2

Happy Days


It's funny that you don't like Fonzie because he's "cartoonish", but prefer the later seasons. Which, on the whole, are a lot more cartoonish than the first 2 seasons (which are the best, IMO)

Besides the Mork Episodes, why were the later seasons Cartoonish?

I dont think they were, Im just using your word.
If you watch, you can see that Fonzie is less "cartoonish" in the early seasons.
