Editing Happy Days (section)

==== Production styles ====
The first two seasons of ''Happy Days'' (1974–75) were filmed using a [[single-camera setup]] and [[laugh track]]. One episode of season two ("Fonzie Gets Married") was filmed in front of a studio audience with [[Multiple-camera setup|three cameras]] as a test run. From the third season on (1975–84), the show was a three-camera production in front of a live audience (with a cast member, usually Tom Bosley, announcing in voice-over, ''"Happy Days'' is filmed before a live audience" at the start of most episodes), giving these later seasons a markedly different style. A laugh track was still used during post-production to smooth over live reactions.

Garry Marshall's earlier television series ''[[The Odd Couple (1970 TV series)|The Odd Couple]]'' had undergone an identical change in production style after its first season in 1970–71.
