Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter the show became successful, Garry Marshall was approached and asked if the show could do anything that would help convince kids to read. In one episode, Fonzie decided that he would go to the library and check out a book, despite his reputation, followed by the line "Everybody is allowed to read." According to a rumor, registration for library cards went up 500 percent. However, this later turned out to be false, as the American Library Association found no report in an increased library interest.
- GoofsThe changing of the interior of the house after the second season messed up the scheme of the house. From exterior shots the driveway/garage of the Cunningham house was to the right of the front door, while from the interior sets the garage was still to the right of the front door (i.e. it would be on the left as viewed from outside).
- Crazy creditsBeing a breakout character, Winkler starts off by only being credited on the closing title sequence; then fourth in season 2; second in season 3-7; finally, top-billing from season 8 onward!
- Alternate versionsIn both syndication and daytime network airings, the episodes' tag sequences were often cut.
- ConnectionsEdited into Weezer: Buddy Holly (1994)
Featured review
Great Show The 1st 2 or 3 Years
Happy Days was a great show when Ritchie, Potsie, and Ralph were still in high school, but when they moved on to college the show just skyrocketed down hill. The relationship of Chiachi and Joannie turned into boy band type pop with them singing almost half the shows, Jenny Piccolo was useless in the show, and Ted McGinley just has the knack somehow for making every show he's in, to destroy a show. I thought one of the funnier characters in the show was Sheriff Kirk, and Arnold in the earlier shows, but Ashley and LoriBeth were so so. I always thought the Fonz was funnier in his gray jacket days, but when he just had powers beyond belief, it detracted from his character to me.
All that aside, the 1st few seasons were 1st rate. I always loved the show, but it lasted way to long to continue. There were a few shows after Ritchie and Ralph left, and some of the Leather Tuscadero episodes that were good, but it just didn't have the nostalgia feel that the 1st seasons had.
