Happy Days - The Fourth Season DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJ · 12-06-2008, 08:12 PM

Set in 1950s Milwaukee, this much-loved sitcom is TV Americana at its funniest. Join Richie (Ron Howard), "The Fonz" (Henry Winkler), Potsie (Anson Williams), Ralph (Donny Most), Joanie (Erin Moran) and the lovable Cunninghams (Tom Bosley and Marion Ross) for 25 (half-hour) classic episodes of family entertainment.

Watch as the Fonz reunites with his old flame Pinky Tuscadero in "Fonzie Loves Pinky," which also debuts Al Delvecchio as the new owner of Arnold's; see Potsie come to Fonzie's rescue in "Fonzie's Hero"; and witness the lucky shot that makes Richie a basketball hero in "A Shot in the Dark." Happy Days Season Four will keep the whole family rockin' and rollin' with laughter!

Please post any questions or comments about this set.

I will say this is the best and most complete release since Season 1!

Cool review. Glad to see that all the orginal music is there. And that the episodes are uncut. Cant wait to get my copy.
Yeah it would be nice if Paramount would include some special features. Like commentarys with some of the cast memembers? Owell atleast the episodes are uncut.

cbs/paramount is brilliant todd pavan you guys are the best reviewers, i am so happy that cbs/paramount saw that light, i was very surprize that on the back of the dvd it did not say music has been changed for this entertainment version, bassed on the economy being messed up, cbs/aramount has done its job, i guess from here out on we do not have too send them any hate letters or complaints, they understand what the fans want, hopfully we will see more songs from the band that was cut in syndication, i love cbs/paramount now. Do yo think they not will re-do season 2 or will they leave it alone, to me they should especaially howthey messed it up, but season 4 i am happy that everything is intact. Hey Todd i wanted to asked you sothing concerning a couple os episodes of the band playing the songs, is potsie singing the song you'll never walk alone by gerry and the pacmakers, againi am glade that they addressed the isuess, hopfully we will see the rest of the series like that. I hope too see pics posted up from season 4 especially with fonze and pinky in the sunset riding there bikes as well as the pictures of the band performing which was cut in syndication.

I guess you've changed your mind about Paramount STUDD since Season 2's DVD release

studd911 · 12-09-2008, 02:55 PM

you bet i have, i hope too see some pictures up of the deleted scenes especially with fonzie and pinky riding there bikes in the sunset, is potsie and the band singing you'll never walk alone by gerry and the pacemakers

Avilos · 12-10-2008, 05:41 AM

There have been a lot of changes at Paramount over the last few years. The people who supervised this set may be completely different than some of the early ones. Which is good for us!

studd911 · 12-13-2008, 10:26 PM

I am very happy that cbs/paramount finally saw the light and continued on with the original music and editing issues, i was shocked myself when i heard that on the back of the dvd ir did not say music has been changed for this entertaiment version, i hope to see the rest of the dvd like that as well. Does anybody think that cbs/paramount will try to redo happy days season 2 as a special editions since they droped the ball the first time. Since you all got the dvd could somebody please pose some pics up.

Chocolate Moose · 12-14-2008, 09:55 AM

Waterston_Fan · 12-31-2008, 09:29 PM

Guys... there is no scene of Fonzie and Pinky riding their bikes in the sunset.

Watching it and I like it..

One question though, why haven't they done anything about how Al got the place?

wayne · 01-06-2009, 02:23 PM

My version has the "sunset" scene. I like season 4 the best. It has some lost scenes that I haven't seen since the ABC days. We need season 5 now. Also Potsie sings "Deeply" which I have heard for the first time

studd911 · 01-11-2009, 06:10 PM

I'm sorry, but is this ever going to end? Every other post from you on this entire board asks about music the band played in various seasons. If you haven't yet gotten the answers you've been looking for after years of asking, I don't think you're going to get them.
