For those of us who were old enough, this long-running TV series from the 70s was a great way to relive the fun of the 50s. (And those too young to remember the era got to experience it for the first time!) Juke box-shaped cookie jar recollects Richie and The Fonz. Ceramic. 9.5 inches x 7 inches x 5 inches.

Less than a year after Ron Howard played a college-bound adolescent enjoying a final, summer-of-1962 romp with old friends in American Graffiti, he turned up as high school innocent Richie Cunningham in the memorable, ABC television network debut of Happy Days, set a few years earlier in Milwaukee. The show would last a decade and go through many changes in tone, cast, and character development, but that first season got a boost from the natural perception that it had some things in common with Graffiti: Howard, of course, but also fumbling teenage sex, drag races, drive-in food, pesky little sisters, and laconic greasers. Happy Days: The Complete First Season is a sweet trip back to the Garry Marshall-produced sitcom's 1974 entry in primetime television, before political correctness would make stories about clean-cut boys fixated on seducing girls unthinkable, and long before older kids were defined by angst on the WB and Fox TV. At least in its first year, before Happy Days developed more of a comic-book feel and energy, the show was about Richie's all-too-human inclination to grow up too fast, to bite off more than he could chew and learn poignant lessons in the process. He was a sympathetic naif, not the charming braggart he later became, and major characters appear to have been created to provide both ballast and motivation. Among them is best friend Potsie (Anson Williams), a superficial hustler who typically incites Richie's enthusiasm for booze, reputed nymphomaniacs, and sophisticated, older girls, and fast-talking Ralph Malph (Donny Most), owner of a fantastic, yellow hot rod. More important are counterparts Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler), a vaguely dangerous drop-out, and Richie's exasperated father, Howard Cunningham (Tom Bosley), each of whom provides Richie the validation of an experienced male: Fonzie's raw worldliness versus Mr. C's seasoned view of a man's responsibilities. First-season highlights include the pilot episode (co-written by Rob Reiner), "All the Way," in which Richie's typical decency allows him to see past the sex-mad reputation of an amiable girl from school. Season closer "Be the First on Your Block" finds the Cunninghams' plans to build a bomb shelter turning into a popularity contest as Richie's friends vie for a guaranteed spot in the event of nuclear war. --Tom Keogh

All 16 episodes from the debut season--including "All the Way," "Fonzie Drops In," "Breaking up Is Hard to Do," "Great Expectations," and "Be the First on Your Block"--are collected in a three-disc set. 6 1/2 hrs. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono. **16 episodes on 3 discs. 6 1/2 hrs.**

Life in Milwaukee's Cunningham household and Arnold's Drive-In goes on as normal in Happy Days: The Fourth Season. With one important exception: Richie (Ron Howard) and his pals Potsie (Anson Williams) and Ralph (Don Most) are heading toward high-school graduation and their collective future as young men. Thus, when each receives a notice from the draft board to appear for a physical, they go. When all of them fail a senior-year class, jeopardizing graduation requirements, they spend a long night studying so they can secure their freedom. When Richie gets tired of living in his family's home and wants some privacy with a girl, he arranges to borrow a friend's apartment for an evening. That friend, no surprise, is Fonzie (Henry Winkler). More than ever, Winkler is the star of Happy Days (along with Howard), with every storyline deeply involving Fonzie and his playful arrogance. Most of the episodes in The Fourth Season are built around Richie slowly moving into the adult world while Fonzie hovers nearby, providing his version of guidance and support. In "A Place of His Own," Richie begs Fonzie (who rents a room above the Cunninghams' garage) to let him use that space to impress a girl--an arrangement that goes haywire when Mr. Cunningham (Tom Bosley), Mrs. Cunningham (Marion Ross), and Joanie (Erin Moran) come home too soon and catch the Fonz sleeping in Richie's room (and in Richie's pajamas). "Richie Branches Out" finds the titular redhead falling for an attractive model on a poster, then going to great lengths to meet her under false pretences. Seeing the folly of Richie's ploy but understanding his temporary insanity, Fonzie gives Richie room to fail but then bucks him up like a pal. "Time Capsule" is a frenzied episode in which Richie, Potsie, Ralph and several girls get locked inside the vault at Mr. Cunningham's hardware store. Only Fonzie's manifest cool (whether real or projected) helps Richie save his sanity while the others fall apart. Certainly there are times when Richie helps Fonzie, too: when the latter can't stop picking fights in "A Mind of Their Own," Richie encourages him to see a shrink, with unexpected results. In "Fonzie's Old Lady," Richie has to break the news to his friend that the older woman he's seeing is, in fact, married. Other good episodes include "A Shot In the Dark," in which Richie wins a basketball game at school with a lucky shot that he can't replicate later. "Marion Rebels" finds Mrs. Cunningham frustrated with Howard's expectations of her, resulting in Mrs. C taking a job at Arnold's. This box set ends with a third anniversary episode, basically an obligatory clip show derived from past episodes. --Tom Keogh

All 23 episodes from the fourth season--including the three-part "Fonzie Loves Pinky," "Richie Branches Out," "Time Capsule," "The Physical," and "Fonzie's Baptism"--are collected in a three-disc set. 10 1/2 hrs. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono. **23 episodes on 3 discs. 10 1/2 hrs.**

From Box: Heey! It's the Fonz! Can you dig this game? It's about being cool and scoring points for it. When you accumulate enough points on Arnold's juke box, you win the game. See, its like spendin' time with the Fonz - you go on dates, challenge other players to drag races or maybe just cruise down to Arnold's. But beware, you can lose cool points as easily as you gain them. Hey, Nerd, don't get caught hanging out at home. That would be uncool!
