    • Trivia
      The series now has a new theme song "Happy Days." Plus new set interiors of The Cunningham House and "Arnold's."
    • Goofs
      In the 3rd scene at about 8 minutes into the episode, Fonzie, Richie, Potsie and Ralph are back at Arnold's and Fonzie is getting ready to play the new pinball machine (Bally - Space Time) after beating the old machine earlier in the episode (Bally - Nip-It). While he prepares to play the game, Richie suggests that Fonzie show his families garage apartment to his grandmother to get her to move out. When the scene cuts to Fonzie thanking Richie as they get ready to walk out, the pinball machine has reverted back to the old Nip-It machine.

    Big Changes In Season 3 Opener
    The Cunninghams rent a room to Fonzie.

    The changes are Henry Winkler is now second billed, the show is now strictly filmed before a live audience and "sit on it" is used as a new catch phrase. There are some laughs in this one, especially Howard's reaction to Richie telling him Fonzie is moving in. We see Fonzie's grandma who gives a thumbs up. However the subtlety of the first two seasons is gone and the acting is much broader. This is one of the better live audience shows, the show would decline in quality in later seasons.
