First season of Happy Days was great when it was on film with a single camera. The characters were real and the emotion honest. We find out Mrs. Cunningham was a racist, Fonzie was going to spend Christmas alone eating Beefaroni from a can, etc. When they went to the three-camera (I don't think it was video, but it might as well have been) set-bound typical sitcom style, THAT was when it jumped the shark. Fonzie became supernatural and the show really went downhill.
