The first season you can see mountains back behind Arnold’s which I don’t think there are many mountains in Milwaukee. The second Chuck made multiple guest appearances throughout the series Who was literally nameless and speechless. And the third hiccup was Mork’s first appearance on happy days. I remember at the end of the show after Richie closed the door on Mork, Orsen made contact with Mork and told him he would have to stay on earth to it examine humans in the 70s but was not too pleased.
I have to wonder what would Mork and Mindy would have been like if it was set in the 50s or early 60s and maybe they did a lot of retro alien stuff like the old 50s movies.
I had the pleasure of being in the audience back in 1982 for the 10th season Happy Days Christmas episode filming, I saw a lot of goofs live as they happened it was great.
On the 30th Anniversary of Happy Days special on ABC, producer Gary Marshall was asked whatever happened to "Chuck" the 3 child of Howard and Marion and Richie's older brother. He said he accepted a basketball scholarship to the University of Mongolia LOL
Pat Morita was a guest star in an episode of The Incredible Hulk as a restaurant owner. He certainly paid his dues before he was cast in The Karate Kid!
It was funny with all those "historical" shows from that era. Little House on the Prairie set in the 1870s-80s and the Waltons set in the 1930s-40s with all the 70s-early 80s haircuts and makeup. It seemed the longer these shows were on the air, the less they cared about the historical accuracy of how the actors looked.
In the season 7 premiere entitled “Shotgun Wedding” The episode ended with Richie running past his father at the lake just before Fonzie tells him how he escaped from farmer Beauregard. Or as Fonzie called him bumper guard. But in part 2 which was a crossover episode with Laverne and Shirley, Fonzie makes his appearance on a donkey still tied up as if he never escaped.
it is interesting that in the intro. you see the record being loaded and played on a "ROCKOLA JUKE BOX", but in ARNOLDS that juke box is a "SEEBURG"!!!!
Bonus Comment…….. Catchy Comedy (which is a sister station to WCIU) just started playing season 7 of happy daze so for those who haven’t seen the series or has just have season 1-6 on DVD, now is your chance to catch up on the show
Mr. Cool did mess things up on occasion didn't he. I wonder if Mr. Cool was erased from the time stream somehow and that's why he never showed up on the main series.😀
I remember watching Happy Days this was in the later years that Marion Ross called two guys on the show by their real names instead of their character names one was Scott Baio his character Chachi got a record deal or contract or something so Marion said that’s wonderful Scott instead of Chachi I was whoa, in another episode Marion and her TV husband Tom Bosley they’re sitting on the couch reading a newspaper and Marion said let me see that Tommy instead of his character name Howard and I was like she did it again that is my notice of the two goofs involving Marion Ross on Happy Days
EUREKA!! I just discovered the reason for all of the time traveling mysteries throughout the entire series. And his name is MORK from ORK! Not only did he go from 50s Milwaukee and time travel to70s Denver, but he also returned to50s Milwaukee multiple times. He can pop in and out literally and manipulate time by walking in a time warp as well as affecting others ranging from speeding up time, slowing it down to stopping time all together. After all, when Mork leaves Mindy’s apartment, where does he go? Or when???
Loved when Winkler was asked about the "jump the shark" myth (that it is somehow a sign of desperation). He pointed out the show was #1 in it's slot for YEARS after that episode, and the skiing idea was his because Winkler personally loved recreational water skiing (as my family did in the 70's).
Yeah, I think it took the A-team to finally knock the show out of the top 20 in the last season. It had a lot of longevity, on top of being number one for a few seasons and then it was popular in re-runs too.
Exactly what chrichar9428 said. Jump The Shark doesn't refer to the point in a series when it started losing ratings. It refers to the point after which the show was noticeably not as good as it had been previously. If history has taught us anything, popularity does not always equal quality! Personally, I think Happy Days jumped the shark way before Fonzie jumped the shark. It happened around the time Fonzie moved into the Cunninghams' garage.
@@tomflorio3639 The 30 million viewers of that episode would disagree with you, but i liked how even the show later spoofed that episode with a bull fight where Richie had to save Fonzie.
I ll never forget an episode of kojack he was interviewing a girl with pony tail this must be late 70s 78 maybe ? And the camera went on the girl In ponytails then back on the girl her hair was Straight then with a flick second back on the girl ponytails suddenly appeared 😳 again soo obvious film must have been very expensive to cut in those days 🙄
I thought it was funny that Richie, Potsie, and Ralph were supposedly high school students but the actors who played them looked too old to be in high school!
One of those popular shows of it's day, which haven't exactly aged very well. I think the show "Jumped the Shark", long before it actually had Fonzie jumping a shark.
I did not know that. I looked it up just now and I did read that it is possible but they probably won't grow back to the same size as before, but it is possible for them to grow back which something cool I just learned.
@@tvcrazyman yes I can recall watching happy days in 74 I used to look out for mistakes I mean the program created by the people who done Lavern and Shirley and Mork and mindy gerry marshal only like 15 years away from the 50s playing songs from early 60s like runaway del Shannon 1961 song and It meant to be 57 ? Or 56 ? The Fonz and Richie only looked the part the others were looking like the 70s I used to quiged quietly in my chair why can't they get it right late 70s cars in the back ground playing songs from 62 63 when it should be 56 57 58 59 the movie American graffiti 73 movie was my favourite it was spot on
Yeah, I couldn't decide if they just rearranged the furniture or the whole setup in the Cunningham residence. I'm pretty sure on the first couple of episodes I didn't see a way into the kitchen at all, but I could see it a few episodes later.
That’s because season 1&2 were not filmed in front of a live audience, a laugh track was used. It was also shot on one camera system. During season 3 the sound stage was changed and set up in front of a studio audience with the standard sit-com multiple cameras. Due to this change the sets were down sized and changed. Season 1&2 sets were more like a drama show and full-set set up.
Pintos are definitely 70's. My dad used to buy those all the time. Every time his Pinto died he'd buy another one and at one point he had two so he could have a spare.
@tvcrazyman That's funny 2 exploding cars, in case 1 breaks down.Seriously though i wasn't sure if the Pinto popped up in the late 60s.I actually liked them. They were roomy, easy to drive and pretty comfortable.Again besides the fact you'd be driving a bomd,not a bad car. 😂
"Time travel" isn't even A reasonable explanation, let alone the only reasonable explanation. When we remember that shows like happy days are nothing more than a delivery scheme for Wheaties, and Calgon and Martini & Rossi Asti Spumsnte, and Pepto Bismol we should be grateful for the effort they did go to and not nit pick it all apart. Or try to create elaborate bull shit to try to make it make scifi sense.
@@tvcrazyman I'll try to remember that for next time! LOL. I was in a mood last night.(sorry) But I find the hoard of ST fans can be really annoying at times always picking apart stuff in some desperate attempt to force it to make logical sense. Sometimes it's just a mistake. Or worse, sometimes the writer of this episode never saw the last episode and so he doesn't even know that "yada yada yada". And don't get me started on Star Trek "Cannon". What CANNON really means is that someone is about to shoot their mouth off! LOL & OMG!!!
Pam Dawber is so hot!! and the two got on very well making the show and williams antics and goofs.

That would have been a lot of fun!
On the show "Mad about you" I got to be in the audience on the 20th year episode. It was fun.
Lucky!
When you pointed out the palm trees in 1950's Milwaukee; I could see a white Ford Maverick in a driveway.

Legendary standup ("the Hip Nip") before even that.
Loved happy days and mork and Mindy these shows have more goofs bloopers than I realized but love the shows
AWESOME video, Tim, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
You can keep the 50s out of the 70s, but you just can't keep the 70s out of the 50s.😅
So true lol…especially MASH
I think people were pretty religious about their hair back then. They wouldn't even cut it to get on TV.
It was funny with all those "historical" shows from that era. Little House on the Prairie set in the 1870s-80s and the Waltons set in the 1930s-40s with all the 70s-early 80s haircuts and makeup.

Best Happy Days blooper was Fonzie and Marion making out
I remember them showing that when I was younger and it grossed me the hell out. I was like "what are you doing, that's your friend's mom!" 😄
@@tomflorio3639 I liked how everyone else kept acting

This was another absolute classic in its day 😀
It's one of those shows I watched over and over again in syndication even while new ones were still running.
@@tvcrazyman it sure is can watch over & over again & never get board of them 😀
Personally, I blame The Fonz's dog Mr. Cool
from their time traveling cartoon series.
Mr. Cool did mess things up on occasion didn't he. I wonder if Mr. Cool was erased from the time stream somehow and that's why he never showed up on the main series.😀
I've still got that Superman movie special too.

Thanks again 😁

Yes, Mork must have brought the 70s hairstyles and clothing to 50s Milwaukee. He could have destroyed the entire space time continuum. 😀🤔
@@tvcrazymanI think he did. Check out my next comment
In the episode of Spirit is willing what Fonzie is saying is a 55 chevy is actually 53
Stopped watching HD when it became the Fonzie Show.

It ain't about ratings. It's about creativity and believability.

I think it must have been. They seemed to determined to not waste any.
Great research job! I tell you, his series made no effort to stick to a particular era. This certainly wasn't how it was in the early 60s.
Thanks
Many of the things you spotted I noticed too even as a little kid
I thought it was funny that Richie, Potsie, and Ralph were supposedly high school students but the actors who played them looked too old to be in high school!
They were all in their 20s I believe.
Thank you for this episode
Glad you enjoyed it
Perfect timing Crazyman. Dinner and your video. 👍
Awesome! Thanks
I just watched again 🤣😂
One of those popular shows of it's day, which haven't exactly aged very well. I think the show "Jumped the Shark", long before it actually had Fonzie jumping a shark.
Yeah! Especially when 70's Murray the Cop showed up to run Arnold's/Arthur's!!!😮
Technically, tonsils can grow back.
I did not know that. I looked it up just now and I did read that it is possible but they probably won't grow back to the same size as before, but it is possible for them to grow back which something cool I just learned.
I recall one goof blooper when the Fonz opened up his locker and on the inside of the locker door was a picture of Elvis 72 picture in his jump suit
That's funny.

Actors make mistakes but what you highlighting is the errors of the Continuity Department.
That is a great video
Thanks
@@tvcrazyman No problem
Happy Days!!
2:13, I would be shocked if that is the case
😀 Could be.
@@tvcrazyman Yeah
Well it is possible his tonsils grew back I am not certain but have heard it can happen.
No one noticed the size of Arnold's charges a few seasons in or orientation of the Cunningham's house also changes.

We always thought that roger was really chuck. Or he was in the army.
Good Job !
Thanks

Laverne and Shirley is a back door pilot
Good job!
Thanks!
This is awesome! 😄
Thanks
Utterly brilliant stuff! 👏👏👏
Thanks
Was not jerry paris not potsie dad on the show?
You missed a fun fact,The Palm trees clip shows a Ford Pinto in the background.Almost positive they are a 70s Ford Model.
Pintos are definitely 70's. My dad used to buy those all the time. Every time his Pinto died he'd buy another one and at one point he had two so he could have a spare.

Palm Tress would do fine in Milwaukee they do good in Cool weather better if you insult the root some how for snow but they can even survive snow
..
Interesting. Palm trees are cool to look at.
This is why I stopped watching the crap show after season 2. What a piece of junk and I was a kid of the 70s.
