『アメリカン・グラフィティ』のホームコメディ版のような番組『ハッピー・デイズ』は日本でも放送されてましたが、その前身ともなった『Love, American Style』というのは私はまったく憶えがなく、日本には輸入されなかったんじゃないかという気がしますが、どうだったんでしょうかね?

COMING FEBRUARY 2009: Happy days are here again with Richie, Potsie, Ralph Malph and the unforgettable “king of cool” Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli. Based on the hit Paramount Pictures’ television series, HAPPY DAYS – A New Musical reintroduces one of America’s best-loved families, the Cunninghams, and the days of 1959 Milwaukee complete with varsity sweaters, hula hoops and jukebox sock-hoppin’.
The famed drive-in malt shop and number one hang-out, Arnold’s, is in danger of demolition, so the gang teams up to save it with a dance contest and tv-worthy wrestling match. This perfectly family friendly musical will have you rockin’ and rollin’ all week long!
HAPPY DAYS – A New Musical has a book by the legendary Garry Marshall. Music and Lyrics by Oscar-winning composer Paul Williams. Directed by Gordon Greenberg. Music Arrangements and Music Supervision by John McDaniel. Choreographed by Michele Lynch.
