[QUOTE="Chris2, post: 281698, member: 495"] I agree on Garry Marshall. His shows tend to start well and then devolve. L&S is the best of the bunch, and only the Milwaukee years (and you could see the decline even start in the last Milwaukee season). “Happy Days” was a decent show in the early years, then went way overboard on the Fonz as some sort of superhero, the catch phrases, the annoying little kids, the sappy lessons learned, etc. “Mork & Mindy” was a sweet little show in its first year. But the network decided to tamper with it and had Marshall fire the dad and grandma, and then he larded it up with all kinds of awful supporting characters. I liked “Angie” and it should have had a longer run, but again, you could see unnecessary changes happening in the second year: the move, the beauty salon, the three Marys, etc, If you ever have a chance to catch ”Blansky’s Beauties”, do it just to see how it’s a Frankenstein’s monster of previously used actors and concepts from Marshall’s other series. Lynda Goodfriend, Scott Baio, Eddie Mekka, and even Arnold (Pat Morita) all show up. Even the theme song is done by the same singer who did the L&S theme. [/QUOTE]
