Classic TV Trivia - Happy Days *video*

found this great website the other day while searching for something else
http://www.sitcomsonline.com

alot of people who weren't around in the 70's don't know that Happy Days was never intended to be a TV show - there was a TV show called Love American Style that Garry Marshall wrote for - it was a vignette program - different stories each week, different characters and actors. One week an episode about the 50's called Happy Days aired - the feedback was so good that Happy Days was given a shot as its own show - there was no Fonzi and i think the dad was played by another actor. I saved the video file - glad i did cuz they've since pulled it. for TV lovers take a look http://www.bratcash.com/gnd/las.mpg

also found this gem, Art Garfunkel's theme to a TV show called 'Brooklyn Bridge' - it was an awesome show about growing up in Brooklyn NY - there will never be another place on earth like Brooklyn during the first half century
of the 20th century - an amazing era in an amazing place.

A lot of shows got started that way. Both Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy got start because of the characters that had parts on Happy Days episodes.

With the exception of all the TV shows which were spun-off from existing radio programs of the times, Comedian Jackie Gleason claims the credit for TVs earliest spin-off. His loudmouth bus driver character, Ralph Kramden first appeared in the fall of 1951 on a series of "Honeymooner" sketches on the variety show CAVALCADE OF STARS/DUM/1949-52 which became THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW/CBS/1952-1970. Then in 1955, the sketch became a half-hour sitcom known as THE HONEYMOONERS/CBS1955-56. The second show to become a spin-off of an existing series was PETE AND GLADYS/CBS/1960-62. Its main character Pete Porter (Harry Morgan) was a regular on DECEMBER BRIDE/CBS/1954-60 who constantly complained about his unseen wife (played by Cara Williams on the spin-off). THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW followed suit as the third runner up in the spin-off hall of fame. It was a spin-off from THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW based on an episode wherein Danny Thomas was driving too fast in a small rural town and got pulled over and eventually put in jail by a friendly, law abiding local sheriff (played by Andy Griffith).
