I’m actually glad to announce this, because I had been saying I prefer Laverne and Shirley and couldn’t get into Happy days.
I decided to give the first two eps of season one a go. I am admittedly very tired right now, but I think I finally get it - although it does feel very scripted, I love the way the show is shot. There’s a lot of 50s music incorporated, and in the first two episodes I like how real Richie feels. In spite of how exhausted I am, I couldn’t turn it off. And it’s no wonder his was Henry winkler’s breakout role, he has such charisma even in the first two episodes. After seeing the first ep of s3, I had been complaining about how unfunny the show seemed. This is like comfort tv. I suspect that when I return to Laverne and Shirley, I’ll still find it to be funnier, but I like how close the Cunningham family seems, even though it all feels very fake.
Im now unsure as to which I prefer between l and s, and happy days.
