HAPPY DAYS - Indvidual Base Card from the series of 72 cards issued by Duocards in 1998

HappyDays was an American television sitcom that airedfirst-run from January 15, 1974 to September 24, 1984 on ABC, with atotal of 255 half-hour episodes spanning eleven seasons. Created byGarry Marshall, the series was one of the most successful of the1970s, an idealized vision of life in the mid-1950s to mid-1960sMidwestern United States, and starred Ron Howard as teenager RichieCunningham, Henry Winkler as his friend Arthur \"Fonzie\"/\"TheFonz\" Fonzarelli, and Tom Bosley and Marion Ross as Richie\'sparents, Howard and Marion Cunningham. Happy Days became oneof the biggest hits in television history and heavily influenced thetelevision style of its time.

The series began as anunsold pilot starring Howard, Ross and Anson Williams, which aired in1972 as a segment entitled \"Love and the Television Set\"(later retitled \"Love and the Happy Days\" for syndication)on ABC\'s anthology show Love, American Style. Based on thepilot, director George Lucas cast Howard as the lead in his 1973 hitfilm American Graffiti, causing ABC to take a renewed interestin the pilot. The first two seasons of Happy Days focused onthe experiences and dilemmas of \"innocent teenager\" RichieCunningham, his family, and his high school friends, attempting to\"honestly depict a wistful look back at adolescence\".Initially a moderate hit, the series\' ratings began to fall duringits second season, causing Marshall to retool it emphasizing broadcomedy and spotlighting the previously minor character of Fonzie, a\"cool\" biker and high school dropout. Following thesechanges, Happy Days became the number-one program intelevision in 1976–1977, Fonzie became one of the most merchandisedcharacters of the 1970s, and Henry Winkler became a major star. Theseries also spawned a number of spin-offs, including the hit showsLaverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy.

Set in Milwaukee,Wisconsin, the series revolves around teenager Richie Cunningham andhis family: his father, Howard, who owns a hardware store;traditional homemaker and mother, Marion; younger sister Joanie;Richie\'s older brother Chuck (seasons 1 and 2 only); and high schooldropout, biker and suave ladies\' man Arthur \"Fonzie\"/\"TheFonz\" Fonzarelli, who would eventually become Richie\'s bestfriend and the Cunninghams\' over the garage tenant. The earlierepisodes revolve around Richie and his friends, Potsie Weber andRalph Malph, with Fonzie as a secondary character. However, as theseries progressed, Fonzie proved to be a favorite with viewers andsoon more story lines were written to reflect his growing popularity,and Winkler was eventually credited with top billing in the openingcredits alongside Howard as a result. Fonzie befriended Richie andthe Cunningham family, and when Richie left the series for militaryservice, Fonzie became the central figure of the show, with Winklerreceiving sole top billing in the opening credits. In later seasons,other characters were introduced including Fonzie\'s young cousin,Charles \"Chachi\" Arcola, who became a love interest forJoanie Cunningham. The eleven seasons of the series roughly track theeleven years from 1955 to 1965, inclusive, in which the show was set.

The series\' pilot wasoriginally shown as Love and the Television Set, laterretitled Love and the Happy Days for syndication, aone-episode teleplay on the anthology series Love, American Style,aired on February 25, 1972. Happy Days spawned the hittelevision shows Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindyas well as three failures, Joanie Loves Chachi, Blansky\'sBeauties featuring Nancy Walker as Howard\'s cousin, and Out ofthe Blue. The show is the basis for the Happy Days musicaltouring the United States since 2008. The leather jacket worn byWinkler during the series was acquired by the Smithsonian Institutionfor the permanent collection at the National Museum of AmericanHistory. The original tan McGregor jacket Winkler wore during thefirst season was eventually thrown into the garbage after ABCrelented and allowed the Fonzie character to wear a leather jacket.

With season four, AlMolinaro was added as Al Delvecchio, the new owner of Arnold\'s, afterPat Morita\'s character of Arnold moved on after his character gotmarried. (Morita had left the program to star in a short-lived sitcomof his own, Mr. T and Tina, which was actually a spin-off ofWelcome Back, Kotter. Morita also starred in a subsequentshort lived Happy Days spin-off series titled Blansky\'sBeauties.) Al Molinaro also played Al\'s twin brother FatherAnthony Delvecchio, a Catholic priest. Al eventually married Chachi\'smother (played by Ellen Travolta) and Father Delvecchio served in thewedding of Joanie to Chachi in the series finale.

The most major characterchanges occurred after season five with the addition of Scott Baio asFonzie\'s cousin, Charles \"Chachi\" Arcola. Originally, thecharacter Spike (mentioned as Fonzie\'s nephew in the episode \"NotWith My Sister You Don\'t,\" but also claimed to be his cousin, aswas stated in one episode) was supposed to be the character whobecame Chachi. Season five also saw the introduction of moreoutlandish and bizarre plots including Fonzie making a bet with theDevil, and the appearance of Mork (Robin Williams), an alien whowanted to take Richie back to his homeworld. Although when firstaired this ended with it all simply being a dream Richie was having,this episode was retconned in subsequent airings by way of additionalfootage to have actually taken place, with Mork having wipedeveryone\'s memory except Richie\'s and then deciding to time travel tothe present day (the setting of Mork & Mindy).

Lynda Goodfriend joined thecast as semi-regular character Lori Beth Allen, Richie\'s steadygirlfriend, in season five, and became a permanent member of the castbetween seasons eight and nine, after Lori Beth married Richie.

After Ron Howard (Richie)left the series, Ted McGinley joined the cast as Roger Phillips, thenew physical education teacher at Jefferson High and nephew to Howardand Marion. He took over from the departed Richie Cunninghamcharacter, acting as counterpoint to Fonzie. Cathy Silvers alsojoined the cast as Jenny Piccalo, Joanie\'s best friend who waspreviously referenced in various episodes from earlier seasons andremained as a main cast member until the final season. Both actorswere originally credited as guest stars but were promoted to the maincast during season ten after several series regulars left the show.The real focus of the series was now on the Joanie and Chachicharacters, and often finding ways to incorporate Fonzie into them asa shoulder to cry on, advice-giver, and savior as needed. The Potsiecharacter, who had already been spun off from the devious best friendof Richie to Ralph\'s best friend and confidante, held little gristfor the writers in this new age, and was now most often used as theoccasional \"dumb\" foil for punchlines (most often from Mr.C.—whom he later worked for at Cunningham Hardware—or Fonzie).

Billy Warlock joined thecast in season 10 as Roger\'s brother Flip, along with Crystal Bernardas Howard\'s niece K.C. They were intended as replacements for ErinMoran and Scott Baio (who departed for their own show, JoanieLoves Chachi) and were credited as part of the semi-regular cast.Both characters left with the return of Moran and Baio, following thecancellation of Joanie Loves Chachi. Al Molinaro also leftHappy Days in season 10 for Joanie Loves Chachi. PatMorita then returned to the cast as Arnold in his absence.

In season 11, the storyline of Richie and Lori Beth is given closure with the two-partepisode \"Welcome Home.\" Richie returns home from the Army,but barely has time to unpack when he learns that his parents havelined up a job interview at the Milwaukee Journal for him.However, they are taken aback when he tells them he prefers to takehis chances in California to become a Hollywood screenwriter. Theyremind him of his responsibilities and while Richie gives in, hebecomes angry and discontented, torn between his obligations to hisfamily and fulfilling his dream. After a confrontation that ends witha conversation with Fonzie, he decides to face his family and declarehis intentions. While somewhat reluctant at first, they support himand offer Richie, Lori Beth, and Little Richie an emotional farewell.

MainCharacters

Richie Cunningham – The protagonist for the first seven years of the series (1974–80). When Ron Howard left the show due to his burgeoning directorial career, Richie was written out by leaving to join the United States Army. He marries his girlfriend, Lori Beth, in season eight by phone, while Fonzie stands-in for him in the wedding. Howard returned for guest appearances as Richie during the show\'s final season. He came back with Lori Beth and their son, Richie Jr., and Ralph in the season 11 two-part episode, \"Welcome Home\", and then left for California with Lori Beth and Richie Jr. to pursue a career in screenwriting. He also returned in \"Passages\", when he and his family attended Joanie and Chachi\'s wedding.
Marion \"Mrs. C\" Cunningham – Wife of Howard Cunningham, mother of Richie and Joanie, and a traditional homemaker. She is the only character who is allowed to call Fonzie by his real first name, Arthur, which she does affectionately. She sometimes gets tired of being at home, such as in \"Marion Rebels\" where she gets into an argument with Howard and briefly gets a job as a waitress at Arnold\'s. In \"Empty Nest\" when Joanie left for Chicago to pursue her music career, Marion had \"empty nest syndrome\" and was thrilled when her and Howard\'s niece, K.C., moved in with them. Marion was one of only four characters to remain with the show throughout its entire run.
Howard \"Mr. C\" Cunningham – Husband of Marion Cunningham, father of Richie and Joanie, business owner of a hardware store called \"Cunningham\'s Hardware\", he is a lodge member, and family man. Frequently seen reading the daily newspaper in his easy chair. Enjoys driving his beloved 1948 DeSoto Suburban. In \"Letting Go\", he did not want Joanie to go to Chicago, still seeing her as his \"little girl\". But after talking with Fonzie and realizing how much she has grown up, he supports her going. In \"Passages\", Howard says that he is proud of Richie and Joanie in Joanie and Chachi\'s wedding. Howard is one of only two characters (the other being Fonzie) to appear in every episode of the series.
Joanie Cunningham – Richie\'s younger sister. In early seasons, she is sometimes snooping on Richie\'s activities and would occasionally be sent to her room by her parents. She is affectionately called \"Shortcake\" by Fonzie. Later on, Joanie briefly joins a motorcycle gang after going on a date with a boy, whom she considered to be \"dull\". In \"Smokin\' Ain\'t Cool\", Joanie started smoking in order to be in a cool club, until Fonzie sets her straight. For years, Fonzie\'s cousin, Chachi, had been chasing her until she eventually agreed to a date with him. She and Chachi would eventually form a band together; and in \"Letting Go\", they leave for Chicago to pursue their music career (which spun off the short-lived series Joanie Loves Chachi). Joanie, however, eventually left the band to return home to pursue a teaching career. She and Chachi then broke up for a time until Chachi proposes to her and they get married in the series finale.
Arthur \"Fonzie\" Fonzarelli – Initially a minor character, he was a hugely popular breakout character and was made a series regular. Fonzarelli\'s \"Fonzie\" nickname and comeback phrase, \"Sit on it,\" were created by the show\'s producer, Bob Brunner. Known for being especially cool and for his catchphrases \"(H)eyyyy!\" and \"Whoa!\" His coolness gave him special powers, such as making machinery (such as Arnold\'s jukebox and other vending machines, electric lights, and car engines) function by pounding on them with his fist, or getting the attention of girls by snapping his fingers. His parents abandoned him as a child and his grandmother raised him from the age of four.
Warren \"Potsie\" Weber – Richie\'s best friend and an aspiring talented singer. He is somewhat more carefree and worldly than Richie in early seasons, then in mid-seasons, he becomes more often paired with Ralph for plots, and the two became inseparable. In later seasons, his character evolves to increasingly emphasize his dimwitted side, and Ralph would often say to him \"You\'re such a Potsie\". Potsie often lightheartedly mentioned the supposed hatred his father (who never appeared on the show) had for him. Potsie remained with the show after Richie and Ralph joined the Army; however, he was seen less frequently. While Potsie\'s character became underdeveloped in these later episodes (and he, along with Ralph, was one of the few characters absent from the finale), he is mentioned to regularly bowl with the Cunninghams and still continues his position as assistant manager of Cunningham Hardware, and as pledge master of the Leopard Lodge.
Ralph Malph – In the first season, Ralph was more of a side character to plots, but when Most became a main cast member in season two, Ralph was more commonly seen, and he, Richie, and Potsie (these two also later became roommates) became the three amigos. Known for saying \"I still got it!\" after delivering one of his jokes. Ralph left with Richie after the 1979–80 season to join the Army. Malph returned as a guest star in the final season, although he is absent in the finale (along with Potsie) – he is mentioned as having left to continue college to become an optometrist like his father.
Charles \"Chachi\" Arcola – Fonzie\'s younger cousin and later Al Delvecchio\'s stepson. Chachi is very close to his older cousin Fonzie. Fonzie acts as the older brother figure that Chachi needs. Chachi has a similar personality to his older cousin. He has Fonzie\'s smoothness and charisma, but Chachi is more laidback. Chachi becomes \"one of the guys\" as he gets older, joining Richie, Potsie, Ralph, and Fonzie in their antics. After Richie and Ralph leave the show, Chachi and Fonzie often have plots together. Chachi has a crush on Joanie Cunningham from the moment he meets her in season 5, but she initially thinks of him as a little kid, calling him names like \"shrimp,\" \"drip,\" etc. But as they enter high school, she too begins to find him attractive. In season 11, they broke up for a short period. But as the season progresses, they get back together and Chachi eventually proposes to Joanie and she says yes. The series finale features Chachi and Joanie\'s wedding.
Al Delvecchio – From seasons four to nine (1976–82), Al became the new owner/cook of the drive-in after Arnold got married the previous season. Al later married Chachi\'s mother Louisa, thereby becoming Chachi\'s stepfather and Fonzie\'s uncle. Molinaro left Happy Days in 1982 to take his \"Al\" character to Joanie Loves Chachi, and returned as Al in three later episodes of Happy Days. Known for sighing \"Yeeep, yep, yep, yep, yep\" when he was disappointed or when things did not go his way.
Jenny Piccalo – Joanie\'s boy-crazy best friend (1980–83), often mentioned in early episodes, but did not appear in person until the 1980 season. Returned as a guest star in the series finale. Jenny\'s father appeared in one episode, played by Silvers\' real-life father Phil Silvers.
Roger Phillips – Marion\'s nephew, coach and teacher at Jefferson High, until \"Vocational Education\" where he became principal at Patton High. Introduced in 1980 after Richie left the show as a recurring character.
Lori Beth Allen-Cunningham – Richie\'s girlfriend and later his wife (1977–82). She married Richie by phone in season eight. Fonzie helped Lori Beth while she delivers the baby in \"Little Baby Cunningham.\" She returned as a guest star in the final season.
Ashley Pfister – (Linda Purl) Divorced mother who becomes Fonzie\'s steady girlfriend, but later broke up offscreen sometime before, \"Where the Guys Are.\" Note Linda Purl was also on Happy Days in Season 2 as Richie\'s part-time girlfriend Gloria.
