I chose both because--
1. The ones WITHOUT the audience had the best episodes.
2. The ones WITH the audience I liked best.

But its true IMO. The first 39 really depicted life as the 1950's. After that it was all about their situations and Fonzie. But, you know me! I liked them! No..LOVED them!

I liked both but the last few seasons were not my favorite except when Tom Hanks made a guest appearance in an episode.

iluvfonzie · 11-19-2002, 10:06 PM

Hey all the seasons were cool. I didn't notice much difference between them.

CollegeGirl · 11-20-2002, 08:54 AM

I chose with the studio audience! Fonzie had a larger role, as did Ralph. And I think Ralph had the ability to open up more and show everyone just how funny he had been. And that is when Potsie became "Such a Potsie!" *LOL* I just read a book last night that was written when the show turned to being in front of a studio audience and most of the actors agreed that they thought the show was improving since they decided to film in front of a live audience.

Both were great! I have to say I didn't notice much difference between them!

animalcrackers · 11-20-2002, 02:37 PM

I chose 'without'. Even though I love all the shows, I just liked the filmed version better.

With a studio audience.

YoliUSA · 07-30-2003, 06:20 PM

Both

BOTH

I have to say WITHOUT an audience. I did enjoy the new show somewhat, but I really wish they had changed the name of the show. Because it was really that - a NEW show.

They should have renamed it to "Fonzie's Happy Days" or whatever they had in mind at the time.

That's my main problem with the change. It was a different show with the same name.

bad_boy · 01-05-2004, 06:15 PM

I liked the ones better without the audience because they got to go more places than just the Cunninghams house and Arnolds.

I Love Carol Burnett! · 01-05-2004, 06:16 PM

I chose both

robyrob · 01-11-2004, 01:50 PM

i chose both - i just watched an ep from the 10th season today, and i really enjoyed it - the show really changed over the years, but it was still good

richheart · 01-14-2004, 01:05 PM

I think at some point they went back to filming without an audience. Some time in the later years. I don't know when but I was watching an episode this morning that looked like it had canned laughter.

Does anyone know for sure?
