Candid Comment - Video Edition - Happy Days
For 11 years Happy Days aired on ABC and was a cult favorite. It features the Cunningham Family Richie, Joanie Marion and Howard and of course the Fonz. The show was pretty clean cut for the most part but, as the time passed the antics got sillier and the show deviated from the story of your Richard Cunningham to the Fonz and his role as hero. While the show was a fan favorite it eventually did lose credibility to a degree after the episode featuring the Fonz jumping the shark.
Another notable thing about this show was the implied sexual tone, though never really explicit it was pretty clear that sexual activity was pretty hot and heavy. That said no real sex scenes appeared on the show, just a lot of so called making out.
What really ended it thought, in my opinion, was the fact that Fonz could do no wrong always got the girl and could do things that really were just impossible.
Overall this show was positive and fun, but it just got to silly to really be credible any longer and in the end finally came to an end with Joanie and Chachi get married. A great show that just got way to silly and unrealistic but, even today is still loved and watched in syndication.
