The television networks are certainly missing the boat on today’s shows by deleting the groovy introduction in lieu of more commercial time. I mean, who can forget this? The trumpet blast at the episode title card is AWESOME.
By the way, this was the pilot for “Happy Days”. My friend Tim auditioned for the role of Potsie, but as he put it, “that fucking Anson Williams got the part.” I think Tim would have added more flare to the role.
J.P. – I had no idea that the show HAPPY DAYS wasn’t even originally titled HAPPY DAYS. Boy, am I glad that they made the change that they did.
