I Loved the Theme Song

Remember the warning before the show started: "The following program is suggested for mature audiences only" Too bad that's not mentioned on the shows they show today! But I digress. This was a funny show that I enjoyed watching on our black and white TV upstairs while my parents were downstairs watching the color TV. I made the mistake later on of beginning watching the show on the color TV and when my parents heard that "mature audiences" warning....well, that stopped my viewing of this highly acclaimed show. I enjoyed the show with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello as well as Charles Nelson Reiley and Jo Ann Worley. They had so many guest stars. I too remember the Happy Days episode. That was a hoot.
