A Happy Days Spin-off that was a flop but was what it was.
19 July 2011
This show technically was a spin-off from Happy Days and as many things from Happy Days were never really explained, it is true that this took place in the 70's while Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley were supposed to be in the 50's. What the other reviewers got wrong was that yes Eddie Mekka was already playing Carmine in Laverne and Shirley and was doing double duty, but L&S was only in its second season. Scott Baio joined the cast of Happy Days after this show was canceled. His first HD episode was in Sept. of 1977, the start of the 5th season. Lynda Goodfriend didn't really become a part of Happy Days until after this show as well. In the first episode of this show Roz Kelly reprises her Pinky Tuscadero role from Happy Days. It wasn't a great show and I would say goes down as one of the HD spin-off flops, but I remember watching it and liking it, but I was a huge Happy Days fan. It does have its place in 70's and Garry Marshall TV shows history.
