Between her and the gal that played Jenny Piccilo, I really want to see the later seasons of happy days. My first two tv crushes.


She didn't write nor does she own the publishing on the songs that she sang on the show so it has absolutely zero to do with her.

Since Paramount is one of the Forum's sponsors, can one of the moderators get this idea to them, so they can release it?

In December, I wrote Paramount Home Entertainment about this idea, and yesterday, Brian Cuasito (a home entertainment marketer from Paramount) wrote, "Two thumbs up man".
So Paramount does want to release it.
Here is an updated version of my letter:
To CBS Home Entertainment:
Can you release a Complete Series box set of "Happy Days" (1974-1984)?
All 255 episodes should be digitally remastered (from the original film elements) in high definition (1080p), and they should be unedited.
The original Paramount Television logos should be included at the end of the episodes.
All the 1950s/1960s music that was used in the series should be cleared, so the episodes can be unaltered.
“Rock Around the Clock” should be restored to the opening credits for Season 2.
Garry Marshall wants all the original music to be included in the episodes.
The episodes that originally aired after "Passages" (the final episode) should be included before it in the DVD set.
Bonus features, new and old, should be included in the set, including TV spots (from ABC, syndication, Nick at Nite, TV Land, and WGN), ABC bumpers, commercials with the cast, a PSA with the cast about leukemia, mistakes in the episodes, episode introductions from the cast, unreleased bloopers, cast interviews, audio/text commentaries, photo galleries, documentaries (including TVography: Happy Days (2001), Entertainment Tonight in TV Land: Secrets of Happy Days (1999), Biography: Happy Days (2003), Henry Winkler Meets William Shakespeare (1977), the Biographies of Henry Winkler (2000) and Ron Howard (1999/2008), and all-new documentaries), text biographies of the cast, reunion specials (1992/2005), lists of music and guest stars in the episodes, production notes (noting inside jokes, pop culture references, and behind-the-scenes information), both versions of the pilot (New Family in Town (1971), and Love and the Happy Days (1972)), episodes of Laverne and Shirley (and the Mork and Mindy pilot) with characters from Happy Days, Henry Winkler's home movies from the series, scripts from the series in .PDF format, memorabilia from the series, and other things should be included.

So, you are going to tell them that "several fans" are interested in a complete series set as you have outlined? Based on your letter, they should feel that they'll have at least 8 or 9 guaranteed sales of the set. That should be enough for them to go forward.

I'd be for this set. I'd like for Laverne and Shirley and the Fonz in the Army to be included as well or a super set with all of this plus that and all of Laverne and Shirley and Mork and Mindy included as well as the Mork and Mindy cartoon, and the other spinoff series Out of the Blue and Blanksky's Beauties.

On the official Facebook page for Happy Days (from CBS Home Entertainment), there are several posts with "likes" about wanting a Complete Series set this year. One of them said, "We need a DVD set with all seasons this year. That would be amazing. Until then CBS can sit on it." That is where I got the idea that there were several fans who want the Complete Series this year.
