Whoah! Anson Williams, aka Potsie, was on Love American Style? I never knew until know that the TV show 'Hapy Days' had some roots in 'Love American Style.'

I can remember watching the show as a youth, but I was likely oblivious to much of the sexual innuendo at the time - I was 11 when the above clip was shown.

When my family watched the show, our television set was a black and white one. I remember us sitting there, watching the introduction fireworks in black and white, thinking .... oh, how wonderful it would be to have a color television, so we could see the fireworks in color. (We said the same thing during the Disnet intro.)

A few years later, when we did get the color television, we soon realized that much of television still sucked.

But if the show 'Love American Style' did come out on DVD, I might buy a copy, as it would be way interesting to see how the attitudes towards mainstream television sexuality compares to what is available today.
