As far as high school shows go, this has to be one of the absolute worst. First of all the show seem to be proud of having characters that are nothing but cliches. The "Hip black girl with dreadlocks" the "Dumb Italian kid named Vinnie" The Valley girl, the Rich snobby girl named "MUFFY", good god I am surprised they didn't have an Asian kid that is the school genius.

This show is truly awful. The two lead girls played by Sarah Jessica Parker and Amy Linker actually give the best performances simply because they are not quite the obvious cliches everybody else seems to be. Oh and Tracy Nelson's Valley girl voice is horrible. She might be one of the worst characters ever on a sitcom.

This show is just dreadful.

The first two seasons of Happy Days are absolutely wonderful. The writing has so much charm and humor and the actors, from Anson Williams to Henry Winkler to Erin Moran play their parts perfectly. The entire cast is just wonderful. The Christmas episode of the second season where Fonzie is all alone on Christmas and then comes to Christmas eve dinner at the Cunningham house is probably my favorite Christmas episode of ANY sitcom.

The problem is the show went on for about EIGHT more seasons and simply lost all the charm of those first few years. By the end the show was barely recognizable. Robin Williams as "Mork from Ork" certainly did not help matters and this particular episode "The Evil Eye" is so bad it has to be seen to be believed. A witch puts a curse on Al and Fonzie and by then I just turn it off. I really cannot even remember what happens and I am glad. If you are interested in revisiting Happy Days or if it is your fist time, take some good advice and just stick to the first four seasons, especially those first TWO which were truly wonderful.
