References of Happy Days on TV, in Films, etc... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Wreckless · 09-16-2008, 06:51 AM

Happy Days, being as popular a sitcom as it was, especially for a lot of kids growing up watching it, gets mentioned in a lot of tv shows past and present and even movies and in other media. I know Family Guy has mentioned it a few times. Once in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Chris Rock as a guest star jokes that "he will not be embarrassed by a black Potsie Webber" to Carlton

. It also shares similar interests with other sitcoms- The Wonder Years, Everybody Hates Chris, That '70s Show and others, that it was filmed 20 years after the sitcom is depicted. Talk about and reference any other times HD is talked about or referenced in other media- TV, films and whatever else.

Oh, I forgot to mention, it was referenced a lot of times in That '70s Show, which is ironic due to the 20 year stat it shares with HD. In one episode, Michael Kelso is seen wearing a leather jacket to make his appearence stand out more, look tougher and to act cool/sexy. Kelso asks his friends how he looks and jokes "I'm so brando" in an Italian voice to the gang. Hyde jokes "good, if your friends are Ralph and Potsie" or something around those lines. Then Fez says "Help Fonzie, you are our only hope. A gang of thugs are taking over Arnolds." The jumping the shark episode is also noted. Also, I remember reading somewhere that Friends also mentioned the show in an episode or two, along with Seinfeld (I think).

Kelso: "Yeah, I'm so Brando!"

Hyde: "Yeah, if Brando had a Buddy named Potsie..."
