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
Good at first..then downhill
I guess I'm like most people. The first couple of years of Happy Days were terrific but then things went downhill. The show shouldn't have made Fonzie into such an unbelievable character. In the first couple of seasons he was just kind of a greaseball who was on the outskirts then they made him into some kind of superhuman character who could do no wrong. It took away any semblance of reality. Also whatever happened to Chuck (the older brother). If they wanted to get rid of him they should have come up with some kind of excuse instead of just forgetting about him.
