Why Happy Days isn't on dvd/on streaming

[Nickcap96]

so i have done research and come to find out the reason why the rest of the seasons of happy days isn't on dvd is not due to music right cause they can cut and replace the music like they did with some of the seasons already on dvd it has to do with tv right same goes why it's not on any streaming platforms/ and why only a hand full of a few eps are on pluto tv you see right now between metv and a few other networks owning the rights for fans to watch it on tv it then limits the show on what platform it can be on so until tv doesnt shows happy days anymore we just have to wait right now metv has reruns but they speed it up due to showing more ads however metv is the only network to show all the eps uncut maybe one day we will get 7-11 on dvd or on streaming but thats why those seasons are hard to find and arent on any streaming plus its cheaper to have it on tv/ streaming so here's hoping in the near future we can finally get all 255 ep somewhere on streaming

Right. That has always been the issue.

no that is it i know 7-11 isn't as good but i did my research and made a few calls and sent a few emails this is over 3 years of research i spent trying to get to the bottom of all of this so if you disagree with me fine but i took the time and talk to people and got 100% truth os answers

Do you have the Metv episodes from season 11?
If so, could you upload them to a website and share them, please?

We do know (and I personally know because I've recorded other shows' episodes and compare to other sources) MeTV does time-compress episodes. But other than overnight off-the-clock airing of some hour-long shows, I've never known MeTV to show unedited sitcom episodes. For quite some time they have aired episodes which end up with a total of approximately 23 minutes of time-compressed episode time (I might add, in some cases the speed-up is quite obvious). This normally requires over one to two minutes to be edited out.

So the question is: do we know for certain MeTV has aired Happy Days unedited?

Yes again i did research and i found all 255 scripts online from each eps when comparing it to metv it's all there to the very last page and i quote metv who i talk to with a man ho works for metv who said and i quote "yes happy days is 100% unedited we do that for the fans of the show" so yes it is uncut

[Nickcap96]

yes i do have metv season 11 im starting with S8 i got copies from metv hallmark hub insp and tvland and what im doing is i'm taking each eps scene by scene from metv and adding them into mostly hallmark and insp theses copies are 720hd and sound is really good better than tvland and any scenes that are sped up i am using a software to slow it down and you can't even tell so by the end 8-11 will be uncut and unedited it will take months only on season 8 now just started only reason why i'm not just using metv is cause there copies are like 10 times faster than other channels it wont be 100% perfect but it will be a new fresh copies fans haven't seen that missed out on its original run also season 7 i have and it is fully uncut i' m also adding rock around the clock on season 2 and i will be going back and adding in scenes that aren't on any of the dvds but i am starting with s8 and i will be posting them on Internet Archive i will post on here to give anyone updates

If I may ask, on which page did you find the scripts of the 255 episodes? I would like to read them.
