I learned a few things from watching the episode. First I learned that everyone in the show was sassy. Some of the "shots" they took at each other were really funny. The humour was harmless and there was no profanity, but still really funny. I noticed that there are still some similarities to the present like Marion making Joanie wear her coat on halloween and not being able to eat the unwrapped candy. People seemed a lot more easy going in the 50's. Everyone seemed happy which makes sense considering it is called Happy Days. It was a very social environment, everybody knew everybody and the whole community got involved like when the people gathered together at Arnolds' to help decorate. People talked to each other in person instead of texting because technology was limited to house phones, radios and television. Things seemed very simple and innocent.



I can use this to help me get into the Calendar Girl character with having an easy going and friendly presence. And also remember it is very community based and need to be involved in the whole positive atmosphere while on stage. It helped seeing how they dressed and wore there hair to get a better picture of what our costumes might look like. Oh and I will leave my iPhone backstage ;)
