Last night I caught some of the "Happy Days" 30th anniversary special. There was a time in the early 80s when "Happy Days" was one of my favourite shows. It was on every afternoon and I thought it was the next best thing to "The Dukes of Hazzard".
Watching the reunion clip show last night made me realize how cheesy that show was. As a kid you don't notice cheese, in fact, as a kid you prefer cheese. If "Happy Days" were airing in 2005 I'd avoid it like the the plague. Too much cheese is bad for the heart.
Even as a kid I couldn't forgive "Happy Days" for making one of the worst decisions in television history. They had an ultra cool opening sequence set to Bill Haley and the Comets' "Rock Around The Clock" and then they switched to a piece of crud called "Happy Days" by Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox. What were they thinking?
I've had my fill of cheese. I've grown intolerant.
