Tom Bosley Haunts Me (Jerz’s Literacy Weblog)
I’m laid up in bed, having gotten my usual end-of-semester cold a week and a half early. (Last time at least it had the courtesy to wait until a few hours after I submitted final grades to start hammering me into submission.)
It suddenly occurred to me, from out of nowhere, that despite what Tom Bosley told me at the beginning of each episode, I really don’t care that Happy Days was filmed before a live studio audience. I don’t care now, and I didn’t care back then.
I did take a trip down memory lane, courtesy of The Greatest American Hero fan site.
Sigh. Sometimes I wish the dark secrets I hide from my students were less… lame.

I really should be finishing up my papers to graduate this May, but…I gotta say that I love Classic TV! Nick at Nite was my only reason to have cable before Comedy Central came up with The Daily Show. I remember religiously watched shows like Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Patty Duke Show (if I could stay up late enough), and of course The Adventures of Superman. Unfortunately, Nick at Nite now blazes through decades of television like fire through a forest. Now I see ads for Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on Nick at Nite and it makes me weep.
Yeah, at least if you were a secret agent (Agent 008) or an alien, or something out of Ocean’s Eleven, it would be cool.
But enjoying Happy Days is your deep dark secret!? puh-leez! LOL
