These Days Are Ours

In 1976, as Happy Days was cresting in popularity, Donny "Ralph Malph" Most headed into the studio to record his self-titled debut album. Is it a hit or a miss? Is rock really dead? And what do Rupert Holmes and Barry Manilow have to do with this? Peter and Joe will answer all those questions as they review  Donny Most .

In 1980, just as he was preparing to leave Happy Days , Don Most starred in an unusual little romantic comedy called Leo and Loree. And, boy, did a lot of Happy Days people work on this thing, including Ron Howard, Jerry Paris, and Linda Purl! You can bet that Peter and Joe have opinions about it.

Was the world ready for Cyndi Lauper's movie career in 1988?
