Oooh, love Edam, it's made backwards you know.
I only type em, I don't check em
Happy Days facts: all from memory.
Did you know the Smithsonian Institute in the good old USof A has the original leather jacket that belonged to Henry Winkler, who played Arthur 'The Fonz' Fonzarelli in Happy Days and that Robin Williams first played Mork the alien in a cameo appearance in that show during a bizarre dream sequence. This was so popular that he got his own show Mork and Mindy. Another spin off was Laverne and Shirley which featured two of Fonzie's girl friends that worked for a bottling company. Another one was Joanie Loves Chachi, which featured Erin Moran and Scott Baio's characters and how they get on a couple.
In the early 80's Hanna-Barbera made a cartoon series called 'The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang' which featured Ron, Henry and Donnie Most(Ralph Malph) reprising their roles travelling through time and space in a spaceship thanks to botch ups by a lovely alien girl called Cupcake(Didi Conn from Grease) and the most annoying idiotic dog Mr Cool.
Happy Days' actors that went on to be successful directors/producers
Ron Howard-Richie Cunningham very successful director.
Henry Winkler-co-producer of MacGyver both versions of the series.
Anson Williams-Potsie Webber-director
The term for a programme or series that has an episode that loses all credibility or defies belief 'jumping the shark' came from Happy Days when Fonzie decides to water ski off a ramp over a shark.
