These Days Are Ours

A few years before Happy Days, Garry Marshall and Jerry Paris worked on the classic sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show. And one of the episodes they did there, "Bad Reception in Albany," influenced Happy Days in a very specific way. This week, Peter and Joe talk about that episode, and they'd be pleased as punch if you joined them.

In 1993, Happy Days star Henry Winkler directed his second and final feature film, the Burt Reynolds vehicle Cop and a Half, which plays like a combination of Lethal Weapon and Home Alone. Do Peter and Joe have opinions about it? You bet your sweet bippy they do!

Back in 1976, when Happy Days was just about to peak in popularity, London Records tried to cash in with an album called Fonzie, Fonzie, He's Our Man by a group called The Heyettes. Did they accidentally create a pop masterpiece? Peter and Joe have opinions.

Fourteen years after the end of Happy Days, where she played the sweetest mother on TV, Marion Ross played the mother-in-law from hell on That '70s Show. Hear what Peter and Joe have to say about the 1998 classic "Sunday, Bloody Sunday."

In 1974, just as Happy Days was finding its footing, Tom Bosley and Marion Ross starred in an educational film about smoking called Let's Call it Quits. They filmed it in the Brady Bunch house. And, you guessed it, Peter and Joe have some thoughts.

After eight seasons in Milwaukee, Erin Moran was ready to explore other, scarier parts of the galaxy. And that's why she starred in Roger Corman's Galaxy of Terror. You already know Peter and Joe are reviewing this bad boy!

What if Fonzie from Happy Days met Ross from Friends? That's essentially what happens on Monty, a very short-lived sitcom from 1994. Did it deserve more than six weeks on the Fox schedule? Peter and Joe have opinions.

Back in 2020, that magical year, Ron Howard must have really wanted an Oscar. And he thought the way to do it was to make a Netflix movie about J.D. Vance. That movie was Hillbilly Elegy. Peter and Joe have thoughts, and they invite you to hear them.

Today, we finally discuss the man, the myth, the chain-fighter extraordinaire Roland "The Gorch" Gorchnick, who claims to have been the inspiration for Fonzie on Happy Days. Do his claims hold up? Peter and Joe have some thoughts.

In 1976, as Happy Days was cresting in popularity, Donny "Ralph Malph" Most headed into the studio to record his self-titled debut album. Is it a hit or a miss? Is rock really dead? And what do Rupert Holmes and Barry Manilow have to do with this? Peter and Joe will answer all those questions as they review Donny Most.
