      After the first couple of seasons, they didn't even make any effort to try and look like whatever period they were supposed to be portraying.
      Producing a historic period is not easy, plus it can be very expensive. As successful as this show was, I believe they could have done more, but they just gave up.

    In seasons 2 thru 6 the producers really cared about maintaining an authentic representation of the costumes and hairstyles of the show's characters. When season 6 rolled around, the aforementioned 1950s authenticity ceased to exist and suddenly ALL of the actors -- not just the young ones -- were being presented on the show sporting (then current) 1980s hairdos/hairstyles and clothing. For example, check out Joanie and Chachi's hair and wardrobe in this video to see what I mean. They are ridiculously inauthentic. In my mind, the producers lack of attention to detail in 1980 is when Happy Days jumped the shark -- not in the later season, notorious shark-jumping episode. This is too bad, because it used to be a great show until actors' contracts undoubtedly demanded the cast members be allowed to maintain their real-life, modern day, hair and clothing styles onscreen. Note: Chachi's jeans in this video are practically Jordache jeans. All that's missing in his wardrobe is a Members Only jacket.

    Even though musicians usually had longer hair in the early to mid-60's, shaggier hair styles really didn't start to become acceptable across the culture on a whole until around 1969-70 and after. Even then, most men still had neat and tidy haircuts if they weren't part of the hippie movement. By the early to mid 70's it was unfashionable for a young man or boy not to have some hair length.

    I grew up loving Happy Days the first few seasons but it just got so stupid & unrealistic by 1980 .

    • @dowtingtomas.695
      @dowtingtomas.695 3 месяца назад

      The core of the show is the 50’s. The show has great ratings up until the mid 5th season when the Fonz “jumped the shark”. This is when the critics started to dig into the show. However the ratings stayed high enough for the show to go on for years more. Not many shows get 4 good seasons, let alone creating a catastrophe and remaining relevant for many more years. Not only that but also as being considered an all time classic show. Which it certainly was .

    It's amazing how at a young age I watched "Happy Days" to watch The Fonz; this very short, skinny man with a baby face who I believed epitomized what is was to be masculine. Henry Winkler did an awesome job showing the audience what a real man was through The Fonz noble character who defended the weak and innocent.

      @STho205 3 месяца назад

      It was what it was, and it was one of the most successful sitcoms of US TV. It was seriously retooled 4 times and after the 2nd season was mostly giving a nod to the 50s. By mid series it barely gave a nod to the 60s it was in. Laverne and Shirley did a better job on that front.
      Love and the Television (later Love and the Happy Days) was produced a year before American Graffiti. AG was set in 1962. That short really took effort to look right for 1952 (original setting), using sets left over by Twilight Zone such as the diner from Walking Distance and later BTTF.
      Retooled after pickup to 1955, the 1st episode was one of the best looking and scored productions of the series.

      By this point Richie and Ralph were gone and there was a lot of new characters like Jenny piccolo Eugene, Roger, his brother Flip etc.The show pretty much became what I like to call "a spinoff in itself"

    A pip-squeak like Henry Winkler pulling off the Fonz with a lot of flair is quite unique. The arm wrestling should have been handled differently though : Fonzie should have used his famous knock with the other hand.

    I remember watching the very first episode of Happy Days with my parents (I was like 7 or 8) on our black and white TV. American Graffiti had recently been a box office smash and this show was designed to capitalize on the new popular interest. Creative writing kept it going for years until it quite literally jumped the shark. Popular characters were given their own, very well-received spin-offs: Laverne & Shirley, Joanie Loves Chachi, and Mork & Mindy.

      This was a strange period in America sitcom history. Cheers was about to start. All the shows based on Happy Days were about to end. All in the Family, or Archie Bunker's Place, was also on the way out, though The Jeffersons still held strong. Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Angie, were all on the way out. These were the sitcom powerhouses a few years earlier. MASH was pulling in large numbers but oddly enough many believe that was due to enormous impacts of reruns run all across America of early seasons MASH. It would not be until 1986 when a tv show called Sledge Hammer! premiered that really shook up the tv comedy show.

    • @AndrewT-hb8we
      @AndrewT-hb8we 3 месяца назад

      The show was at its worse in the 10th season which was the one right after this Joanie, Chachi, Richie, Ralph and Al were all gone and the show focused on the newer characters, some of which were just introduced that same season. Potsie only appeared in occasional episodes by this point. It feels really weird seeing the opening theme in season 10 because it's all these newbies joking around and having fun, with so many classic characters gone.

    Never blame a cast for how bad a TV show gets.
    This is classic Hollywood bosses. Keep everyone employed for as long as possible. Keep putting out anything as long as 'some' people watch it. Money is what it all comes down to for some people. Even if that means dragging a show you claim to 'love' - through the mud. No respect for your own work.
