Not so 50's Happy Days.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

After season two, Happy days seemed to stray from trying to remain true to the fifties and later, the sixties.

When Crystal Bernard was on Happy Days, she had feathered hair. That's not nowhere the style of the fifties or sixties.

I never saw any of the main characters or extras wear cat glasses, which was the popular form of eyewear for the girls during that era.

Chachi looked straight outta the 70's show.

Donny Most (Ralph) looked more like a clown with that red hair afro.

Where are the beehives? Where is the ratted hair?

True, I grew up in the sixties and we didn't dress like that. HD had a seventies and early eighties look to it.

It's good that you point this out, but didn't you already have a topic about this?

As fas as I know, I'd say that also season 3 and 4 were very '50's-like. But I didn't grew up in the 50's nor in America, so I'm just going by my history-books, and whatever I remember from all the documentary's I've seen on the 1950's and the things I read about it.
