The first two seasons of Happy Days are absolutely wonderful. The writing has so much charm and humor and the actors, from Anson Williams to Henry Winkler to Erin Moran play their parts perfectly. The entire cast is just wonderful. The Christmas episode of the second season where Fonzie is all alone on Christmas and then comes to Christmas eve dinner at the Cunningham house is probably my favorite Christmas episode of ANY sitcom.
The problem is the show went on for about EIGHT more seasons and simply lost all the charm of those first few years. By the end the show was barely recognizable. Robin Williams as "Mork from Ork" certainly did not help matters and this particular episode "The Evil Eye" is so bad it has to be seen to be believed. A witch puts a curse on Al and Fonzie and by then I just turn it off. I really cannot even remember what happens and I am glad. If you are interested in revisiting Happy Days or if it is your fist time, take some good advice and just stick to the first four seasons, especially those first TWO which were truly wonderful.
