Goofs

Despite several male characters being of the age where marriage was common, if not expected, they remained unmarried during the run of the series. The Fonz, Chachi, Ralph Malph and Potsie Webber were all old enough to be married (and would have been expected to BE married during the 1950s/1960s) yet they remained unmarried during the run of the series.

Really good show from the 70s....less so in the 80s...
3 February 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I remember when this show was King, c. '76 or so, Tuesdays at 8pm. It was one of those shows that you watched faithfully, got into the characters, jokes, knew the punchlines beforehand every time, and talked about the day after w/ friends. Kids loved it the most, as the Fonz Was a TV hero like you don't see anymore.

I always felt that this should have ended about 5 years before it did too-when Malph and Richie left. Putting the show on in the 80's w/ Chachi as a lead, set in the '60's, Ted McGinley, etc--it was really outta gas and a shadow of its former self. If you ever see the repeats from c. '82 you know what I mean.

Happy Days was the Malachi Crunch, Fonz jumping things on his bike, swarmed by 'the chicks', Richie learning about adulthood from Fonz, and of course Mr and Mrs C offering their bemused, befuddled support. That was the show. I don't think you could make it again.

*** outta ****
