Happy Days original pilot Love American Style best on youtube 1 of 3

[dreamwarrior2008]

Andrea Lumbeck is a sweet and beautiful looking young lady. I'm sure you still look beautiful

[NeiIPeart]

Hey you were pretty cute (sure you stil are).....thanks for the vid....brings back old memories.

[annamariapiotrowicz2]

chuck was  18 or 19 while he went to collage but why disapear joanie was 11 years

[bonesgal55]

3D meaning: Look at the surroundings in a scene in a film and in a single-shot photo; a lot can be recognized by doing so; I'm currently doing family history and this becomes super important to look at others in the photo as well as objects!!! :)

[bonesgal55]

Again, I will try and load parts 2 and 3; I just do not want to get into any kind of trouble for doing so; like having my account suspended. I believe you are right that all they do is remove them but again, I do not want to lose my YouTube account either. I know it was a great show; truly the beginning of some great spin-offs. Thanks for the tidbits about the book in the drawer -- quite a good observation on your part! I, too, look at films and single-shot pics in 3D!

[annamariapiotrowicz2]

@bonesgal55 what silly youtube copyright  rules? try uploading 25 mins video clip and see what happens? if the youtube persons/owers take down then don't worri too about it its not like they can bend your youtube account from watching/uploading music or other tv shows this is a good pilot for happy days i have seen

[Whammer79]

Please uplaod parts 2 and 3. This episode used to be on Youtube. The worst that will happen to you is they will remove. This show is too great not to try and keep on Youtube. Thanks.

[Whammer79]

That's awesome that you were in this show. Love American Style and Happy Days were two of my favorite tv shows.

FYI for others- the book in Richie's drawer, The Amboy Dukes, should be required reading. It's a great book!

[chewybunz]

Mmm...Potsie was a hottie back then!!

[tonycdrive]

So you were Andrea Lumbeck...cool. first... you're seen at 5:37 then 5:55 then6:21 then 6:48.

[bonesgal55]

@yukfo1856: The pilot was all shot in studio

[yukfoo1856]

Where did you shoot the pilot? Was it on location or a studio?

[annamariapiotrowicz2]

@yukfoo1856 in 1970's tv shows it was all done in a uncool studio later still in 1970 they can tape a few things on location with 2 or 3 camers i do research on this kind  of things

[southwriter]

Who was the hottie that played the role of Arlene, and where is she now?

[Tatumthirty2]

@bonesgal55...u were a hottie !! thx 4 sharing with us !!

[BigAL68xyz]

Parts of this episode were recycled as flashback scenes in a Happy Days Season 2 episode, in which Arlene comes back and wants to go steady with Richie.

[TheMashwatcher585]

tvland should put on LAS

[TheMashwatcher585]

i remeber Love American Style

[mikedeceptacon]

Wow! Your cute!!!

[bonesgal55]

@kallemick: I am going to try and find someone to help me; but I was also just told I might have an infringement issue with putting the whole episode on here and that is why the other 2 parts were removed but I will ask the powers-to-be here on YouTube if that is the case and then work on uploading it to my profile here.

[MarkWalkerMusic]

Hey - nice job as "Andrea Lumbeck!" You made a groovy 50's dish!

[bonesgal55]

@hithr3000: those were real cokes but in smaller coke glasses; I asked why and it is because things appear larger on screen, so they gave us smaller glasses so they appeared normal size.

[ekocentric]

@bonesgal55 I remember when you could buy a coke for 15c. and a bag of chips to go with it for a dime. The bag of chips was small but more full than the bags that we get now. LOL...I guess that it was a good thing that the coke was small though. My mom was a health nut before most people were and it was bad enough to get cursed out over the bag of chips. The coke sent her over the edge though. LOL

[letmeehan]

Hey Bonesgal, thanks for sharing, you were a real cutie in that scene!

[bonesgal55]

ORIGINAL TITLE OF THIS Episode of Love American Style was "LOVE AND THE HAPPY DAYS" ... enjoy it ... I know I had fun with my 15 secs of fame, LOL! :)

[hithr3000]

@bonesgal55 no kidding... were those real sodas you were drinking or photogenically colored 'stuff' (or brandy. lol)

[bonesgal55]

ALL Viewers: I would love to upload the other parts to this video & for awhile someone else had the full episode on YouTube but somehow the other 2 parts were removed, not sure why, either by the other user or by YouTube. I do have the full episode that I recorded the night it premiered but trying to find the time & how to do it has been an issue. The individual that wrote me and felt he had to be rude about it, obviously had not read all of my posts regarding why the other 2 parts do not exist.

[bonesgal55]

@bonesgal55 Because I am in this part and because I posted this under my YouTube account makes perfect sense to me, along with the explanation of why the other 2 parts are not on here. I will try and put the rest on here but I CANNOT promise it will happen right away or at all -- and for that I apologize!

[kallemick]

@bonesgal55 okay but thanks for trying i really wanna watch the original pilot but if you cant upload it i will just find it elsewhere

[ekocentric]

@bonesgal55 Even if you can't up load anything else pertaining to this episode you have done enough for me. This is just great. Thanx so much.

[unclebobunclebob]

Funny how Anson Williams was so much cooler here.

[DeadBunny69]

I did a search on Susan Neher, the actress cast as the original Joanie. Seems her career faded away a couple of years after this. She managed to do a few TV shows, even a spin-off from the Partridge Family called Getting Together that totally tanked. Strange how things work out. A case of what might have been. She would have shot into the stratosphere of fame considering how gigantic Happy Days was to become. Instead she's just some obscure TV trivia answer and blip on the Hollywood radar.

[bonesgal55]

@DeadBunny69 Yes, it is funny how life ends up heading ... I, too, could have continued with Screen Children's Guild and possibly been picked up by Happy Days the sitcom but I decided to do other things; kinda glad, the life of a child star (as we know) can be rough! I'm happy with the choice I made and can now look back on this as a wonderful childhood memory!

[richardwha]

@DeadBunny69 Not necessarily true. As lovely and talented as Erin Moran was, and as big a hit as she was for the show's long duration, I would have loved to see her do more. She tried, but did not go much further than her JLC spinoff.

[CaptNemo100]

Wow, never saw this until now. Thanks for posting!

[CaptNemo100]

Wow, never saw this until now. Thanks for posting!

[FreedomforHaiti]

It's amazing to see this again. A lot of the humor still holds up, IMO. As a child of the '70s, the '50s seemed strange, but for adults it was probably less strange and more nostalgic (I'm guessing). I think Ron Howard got cast in American Graffiti based on this pilot (or vice-versa?), and then American Graffiti caused Happy Days to become a series. (I think that's the chronology.)

[Retrotreasures]

RIP Harold Gould :-( as the first Howard Cunningham on This Episode.

[warblerab]

seems weird to see someone else play Howard Cunningham and Joanie

[Ouroboros625]

Good god, I never even liked that show (as a kid) and now I'm wondering where i can get a boxed set from. It really is no wonder that this show got so popular.

[mikealeo]

@Ouroboros625 Just get the first season. They were filmed, not video taped. They had good story lines similar to this one, The other seasons were taped before a live studio audience and aren't worth watching. This, and the expansion of Fonzie character in the later seasons ruined the show.

[mrbob424]

wow thats so cool

[mikehlebik]

LOL howard is Milesx from the golden girls!

[MrAndyBear]

The first t.v. episode to demonstrate wingman techniques. LOL 6:34

[buttascotchbro1]

I REMEBER THIS..MAN I'M OLD WHAT HAPPEN 2 CHUCK..AREA 51 IN THE 50'S

[buttascotchbro1]

I REMEBER THIS..MAN I'M OLD

[Smok44]

Excellant for you Bones, thanks for posting this, i also never knew happy days came from a LAS episode. You're a lucky girl to have experienced spending time on a groundbreaking show like this with the stars they became of today. You sure were pretty back then also. Can i blow in your ear? LOL congrats you have a a memory of a lifetime!

[yesdave2002]

Wow, that's great you were that girl - extra, what a treasure you have to rmember,. I love Happy Days. Dave K.

[mpwall123]

vava voooommm...your hot.



[DorisDayFanatic]

Neat!! Thanks for posting. =D

[njplr]

Totally, TOTALLY awesome, hahaha. Considering the astronomical heights of popularity to which this little episode here later reached, I think that's a MOST respectable 5 seconds. Honestly, that's enough for a lifetime! I watched HD from its inception through the next 2/3 years, it was one of the funniest shows of all time, with an honest 50's feel to it, at least at first. But I was unaware it all descended from this episode. Thanks for posting, I must point this out to others!!!

[kubrickzghost]

Finally, someone uses the expression true to its words... @6:20

It's "In like Flynn". Not "In like Flynt".

Expression came from Erroll Flynn's domestic abuse case where he was acquitted of some kind of sexual assault charges. It was the OJ trial. He got off because he was a celebrity at the time. So when you say you are in like Flynn, it means you can get away with anything.

[TOKguy]

This is really good.

[jteach23]

Thanks for posting this. I used to watch Love American Style and I remember well when I happen to see this episode the first time it was aired. Then about one year or so later, Happy Days started. That's so cool that you were actually in this episode!

[TitaniumByFire]

Different house, a malt shop instead of a drivein retaurant, they lived in Cleveland instead of Milwaukee, half the family had different actors, and no ralph or fonzie. A lot of changes.

[manny5442]

I really did like this episode...too bad Happy Days had to go to a LIVE audience...made the show unbearable....all that hollaring and whistling and applauding EVEYTIME Howard came out...that was so dumb. Whatever happened to Spike...guess the teeny booper girls were more stuck on Chachi...who I really thought was a dumb chacater.

[fromthesidelines]

Garry Marshall produced this in 1971 as a pilot for a series intended to have been titled "NEW FAMILY IN TOWN"; ABC rejected it. Paramount "reworked" it into a slightly edited version for a February 1972 episode of "LOVE AMERICAN STYLE". This is the post-1972 "daytime/syndicated" half-hour version of that episode, with a shortened title sequence (the original said, "Tonight Starring", with additional guest stars listed from the other segments that appeared in the hour-long edition).

[furs4u]

That was awesome

[Tidefan324]

bonesgal55: See...if you'd blown in Richies ear, you coulda watched tv too!

=)

[monkeeman1966]

Andrea Lumbeck! She knows everything. lol Thats is great to have been there. I wish I could've said that.  I love this show until they graduated high school and lost the grease in their hair.

[bigbenzdiesel]

Thanks so much for this precious vid Bonesgal55. I grew up watching Love, American Style with my folks in Pennsylvania (I'm just south of 48, with a birth date of 4/19) . I loved the show and am so glad to be able to find bits and pieces scattered across the Internet (esp. YouTube). Bless you for sharing your "15 minutes" with us. You were quite the cutie back then girl. : )

[spare2288]

they should have used you more! thanks for posting

[bonesgal55]

@spare2288 Thanks!

[Grazimoto]

Thank you SO much for posting this! I've tried to convince my friends that Happy Days evolved from an episode of Love American Style but most think it's a spin off of the movie American Graffiti. I think, in actuality, what the success of American Graffiti did was make Gary Marshall realize he could do well with a whole series dedicated to the 50's. I completely agree with amiblueful... after the first couple seasons, the writing of Happy Days started drifting away from its original goal.

[manny5442]

@Grazimoto just reading your post here on Happy Days...you are right...Happy Days originated from Love American Style....NOT from American Graffiti....the two took place at different times. Happy Days originated in the 50's and American Graffiti took place in 1962.

[abc1000001]

Hi, I see you have 1 of 3 so I assume there is a 2 and and 3 of 3.

[bonesgal55]

@abc1000001 You Tube and/or the original user that posted 2 and 3 removed those, and since I was in part 1, I was able to capture that part and re-post to my account -- I have searched for the other 2 parts to see if they've been reposted as all of you have and I do not see them -- sorry.

[abc1000001]

@bonesgal55

Hey thanks for the reply and I do appreciate you doing this.

[mozelly1963]

I found these 1,2,3. (L'avant Happy Days) / Love and the Happy Days. Look to sidebar .

[midguardz]

Andrea Lumback where is no 2 & 3 please?

[randyjrandyj]

Where are parts 2 and 3?

[vampyrikus]

Where's part 2 & 3?

[randyjrandyj]

Where are parts 2 and 3?

[randyjrandyj]

Ok, where are parts 2 and 3?

[bonesgal55]

@randyjrandyj I have the full pilot on DVD but they (You Tube) removed parts 2 and 3 and I was able to still access part 1, which I'm in, which was why I posted the remarks I did. I will continue to look for parts 2 and 3 and add a link but for now they were removed either by You Tube or the user that originally posted them.

[gaddes2]

I am on my fiances youtube thing, and i loved this video. WOW that was you back then, thats so cool. What was it like?

[feesterboy1]

I love this! They sure did "gay up" the characters when they made the series, especially Potsy.

[foxvermont]

I remember early Happy Days

RICHIE (on phone w/ his mom): "And you want me to buy some T.P.? What's T.P.? Ma, you can say "toilet paper" over the phone!"

--

RICHIE: All we had was some beer....in teeny tiny glasses.

HOWARD CUNNINGHAM: How many teeny tiny glasses did you have?

RICHIE: 72...

[bonesgal55]

You are welcome !

[ydnarnosfatsug]

haha poor chuck, i used to love this show and remember chucks few appearences. Thanks for posting. memorys

[Gerkinstock]

Amazing that it took 3 actors to portray a character that only lasted one pilot and a season-and-a-half's worth of episodes. He was completely forgotten on the show but now any character that disappears without an explantion is called a victim of "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome." C.C. may not have been around long but his legacy endures to this day.

[amiblueful]

*Sigh* If only Happy Days had stayed true to its 1950s roots instead of selling out to 1970s CRAP! This pilot and the first two seasons were absolute GOLD. It was a downward slide from there.

I love how Potsie was such a cad here.

[amiblueful]

*Sigh* If only Happy Days had stayed true to its 1950s roots instead of selling out to 1970s-era CRAP! This pilot and the first two seasons were absolute GOLD. It was a steep downhill slide from there.

[manny5442]

@amiblueful ..I TOTALLY AGREE.....

[dxmania95]

omg! that must have been so cool!

[bonesgal55]

I definitely thought so when I was doing it -- couldn't wait to start an "acting" career but then my boyfriend at the time asked me to not continue; wish I hadn't listened to him but I was young and thought I was "in love" LOL!

[dxmania95]

well at least u can say u were on Happy Days:)

[classicphile]

Got alot of questions: How did you manage to get this job on this episode of LAS? Were you a regular watcher of LAS? What did you think of this particular segment that youre in, and what do you think of the whole series that sprung from it (Happy Days)? Did you watch Happy Days on a regular basis? What other shows or movies did you appear in as an extra? Did you ever manage to get a speaking role in anything? Did you continue to, or are you now still working as an actress/extra?

[bonesgal55]

I had it in my mind to become an actress and/or dancer so I finally found a reputable agency -- Screen Children's Guild, had tried a few others but they were so flacky and frauds.

[bonesgal55]

[continued from previous posted comment] Did the SCG for one year, won an award during a beauty pagent in the 16 yr old category at the Hollywood Paladium and then also did this pilot. After that, I changed direction completely, the boyfriend that talked me out of continuing was dumped (LOL) and I went into another career completely.

[bonesgal55]

It's amazing when one looks back on how directions change, etc. Anyway, it was a fun moment in my life and my mom who accompanied me to Paramount Studios had a blast too. I have the entire show on DVD and share it with friends and family when we want to relive some fun memories.

[Gerkinstock]

Hi, Bones. Do you remember the original theme song/opening to "New Family in Town"? I don't think the pilot was included in the Happy Days DVD release.

[bonesgal55]

@Gerkinstock You are right they did not include the pilot on the release of Happy Days on DVD -- I searched through all of them probably some kind of filming rights problem.

[TheMashwatcher585]

richie and potsie they mut had been in theyre early 20`s in this episode

[Eddie62070]

no, Ron Howard was no older than 18 here....he was born in '54, and this episode was in '72

[Acnoth]

Seriously, if you have the other two parts, please post them. They aren't here elsewhere.

[bonesgal55]

I will try and find them, if I can ... a lot has been removed.

[bonesgal55]

The episode is on YouTube in 3 parts -- I was in this one, so I had posted this part, if you search for Love American Style and/or Happy Days, you can find all three parts. I'll try and find them to and post to my YouTube Profile.

[robertmastroianni]

So you are Andrea Lumbeck?

[bonesgal55]

Yes, LOL!

[robertmastroianni]

Did you receive residuals and if so for how long?

[bonesgal55]

@robertmastroianni -- no I didn't unfortunately, I did not have an agent; I received the part by being part of the Screen Children's Guild--I was with them for 1 year and then decided to pursue other things in my life; but I can always state I was on the pilot for Happy Days and that I got to meet Ron Howard, the now famous director, actor, etc, etc, Ron Howard and Anson Williams; I had a blast and was glad for the experience. My 5 seconds of fame -- LOL!

[winguln]

Good video.

[winguln]

Fantastic.

[tpellman]

This has to be influenced by Summer of 42--it came out in '71 and this show aired in '72. Anson William's performance is a dead ringer for Jerry Houser as Oscy.

When do we get to see the rest?

[Stormievbva5]

Are you going to upload the rest of this episode?

[bonesgal55]

I will try, a lot has been removed and it's hard to find the other parts of this episode; I was lucky to still find the part with me in it as an extra.
