70's episodes or 80's? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Barnabas1 · 03-22-2003, 11:27 AM

I liked the episodes with Richie and Ralph way better than Chachi and all of the others. What about everyone else: 70's episodes or 80's episodes?

As much as I like the later episodes, I like the 70's ones better. The original gang is there

I love them both, but I like the 80s more.

FonzForever · 03-22-2003, 08:03 PM

The 70's no contest. I like them all, but the 70's eps were classics that can be watched over and over. For me anyway the 80's aren't like that. If an 80's ep in on and I alreayd have it on tape, I don't watch it all the time. The 70's eps I always watch no matter what. Mind you this perspective comes from seeing much of the series in it's original run. It's not just a syndicated show for me, I have memories to go along with the times the eps aired.

Has to be the 70s episodes.

All was good in revelation of world history too. In the 80s pop culture blew up the sixties as a reference for that generation so the the real lost innocence of the 50s had to go. I liked to evolution,. and wished it played into the early nineties or at least 1987 where the seventies happened. Would have been a nice cross reference for "that 70s show",...which ironically takes place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I vote 80s. Note "Laverne" ended her story lines in 1969 as Carmine was going off to do hair episode ..was year what? 1985-6? I would waited to hear more references of the Fonz in 1969. I think there were a few brief mentions in Laverne and & Shirley shows.

L&S ended in 1983.

dickswift · 03-23-2003, 03:07 AM

Really ? I thought l&S stayed on a few more years than Happy Days "Crossroads".? Like, Laverne went space Shirley got married...etc...Feeney Meeny and, Larverne sang at rock n roll peace festival, and grew her hair..longer. Lenny and Squiggy became like hollywood producers or something weird like that.

Chad22 · 03-23-2003, 03:29 AM

Kinda cool how Happy Days Outlived all its Spinoffs.

Nope. HD out live all of it's spinoffs.

Barnabas1 · 03-23-2003, 08:01 AM

I think it would've been better if they ended the show at episode 167 and just started a whole new show that spun off of HD then. That way, It'd be like a new show.
