ah childhood memories. I had the Fonzi lunchpail. 6-7 years old , at recess we would run around with our hands held up front like we were riding a motorcycle. Ayyyyyyyyyye with a thumbs up !!!!! Happy Days indeed.
Had the T-shirt and the lunchpail! At my mom's place there is an old photo album with a polaroid picture of me posing in front of my bike with my thumbs up à la Fonzi :)
Watched this all the time as a kid. I was so upset when Richie left the show replaced by the actor from Married with children. I forget his name. I think that was him.
Me too. I watched from Sydney, Australia at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. It was my after school ritual. I grew up on Happy Days, M.A.S.H, Fantasy Island… those sort of shows. It was a great era of television.
I was a sophomore/junior in high school when this show came out. I was one year away from going to the after football game kegger parties and our school had a 50s dance with the real Platters group. We learned to dance to 50s music in our pe classes. It was a real happening because our teachers were in their prime when the 50s were going on and showed us alot of enthusiasm. It brings back memories by the score
I think this is a later (flashback) episode. Listen to the applause when Fonzie walks in. He's already an established (star) character. Pretty sure he was wearing a light blue jacket in the first season.
The guy with the Fonz is Darrel Maury. He was in a lot of stuff around then. He played Jughead in a couple of Archie pilots and was a lead in the cult classic Massacre at Central High.
When they had he “1 2 3 o’clock” song opening and Ritchie’s brother Chuck Cunningham was in it, and had more outdoor shots and was “American Graffiti” like, Happy Days “jumped the shark” long before Fonzie actually jumped the shark. He original show, a spin off from “Love American Style” was supposed to be Ritchie “centric”, but after season 2 decided to make it Fonzie centric. They also had Fonzie wear the windbreaker as they were worried about the leather jacket / gang member connection when the show first debuted and Henry Winkler actually being in “The Lords of Flatbush”, a Brooklyn gang movie, that literally came out the same year as Happy Days.
LOL,. Ritchie knew Fonzie when he was trying to finish school and wore a windbreaker instead of a leather jacket. This must be an alternate reality flashback.
Nope. Fonzie was in the Falcons when he first met Richie and his pals. After he left the Falcons he wore the windbreaker since obviously he wasn't in the gang anymore. Then later started wearing the plain leather jacket. he was always a high school dropout and they always referenced how Fonzie was in a gang before. That's how he already had his reputation of being tough. This was a flashback of Richie telling the story to Cachi because Cachi joined a gang and Richie was trying to talk some sense into him.
I love how often Happy Days rewrote characters backstories. In a super early ep, they say Fonz ran with the Demons not the Falcons, and they definitely weren't a cut throat gang, they were just guys they went to school with and wore detailed letterman style jackets. Ritchie and Potsie actually beg Fonz to help them join so they can be cool and get girls, and its Fonzie who tries to dissuade them, but agrees. The early eps feel a lot more grounded, and I think the backstories feel a little more real, like Fonz probably was in a gang while he was at school and then cut out when he dropped out, which is pretty normal. That being said these Happy Days eps are fun and it's wacky sure but not bad, I just see the first three seasons or so as a different thing, and enjoy them for different reasons.
TV was awful back then with few exceptions. It wasn’t until The Sopranos that tv shows were written and presented like they weren’t trying to insult the viewers intelligence.
Co-incidnetally Wilson Pickett was in a Group called The Falcons and it was the name of the Group that Joe Jackson moonlighted in back in Gary, Indiana.
That may be true, the show is a spinoff from L.A.S., but Henry Winkler played a Fonzie-type character in American Graffiti, which led to him being cast as The Fonz in Happy Days.
@@jennifertimlin1371 No, in the universe of the show. Grease movie. Did you go "Oh, that actor is 30, so not a teen in the movie at all." Did you complain about the age of the 30 year old actress in Beverly Hills 90910 playing a teen? Not likely :p
@@JoybuzzerX well for your information. I didn’t buy into stupid 90210. The actors were pretty obviously not teens. Dawson’s creek was much closer. Sorry to offend your Fonzie addiction. People can’t have opinions I see. Your need to be offended won out. Congratulations.
@@jennifertimlin1371 No Fonzi addiction. I just know what the shows are going for and I'm able to use my brain to realize it's a show with actors. It's honestly really simple. Yup. Easy.
@@JoybuzzerX by the eighties, yeah, people really did complain about how old the actors were on 90210. Head of the Class. Happy Days, yeah those were still the "innocent" times. People noticed it, but didn't worry as much.
All the main actors were under 6’. Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees was one of the finalists for the Fonz role, but at 6’1” he towered over Richie, Potsie and Ralph. The producers ultimately made the better choice going with Henry Winkler.
SPOILER: Not an alternate pilot. This was a flashback they made later on of Richie telling the story how they met and how Fonz left the Falcons to Cachi because Cachi joined a gang and Richie was trying to talk some sense into him. The show always referenced how Fonzie was in a gang before but the backstory was never shown.
@@tommyhajimoto6968 haha. it was one of my favorite shows back in the 70s/80s when growing up. They don't make'm like this anymore. I probably know everything by heart cuz I've seen them all so many times. IDK. 11 seasons is pretty long. Like all shows that last that long.. it starts to get worn out. They did everything they could possibly do. And I think they really ended it on a good note for the finale. I also remember it being a big deal, ratings here high, so many tuned in that night. My family gathered around the tv set and to the very end I felt like weeping like a baby. Lol. Whenever I watch it today and when Tom Bosley looks at the camera (something not common back then for TV shows) and says "thank you for being a part of our family. to Happy Days". And then the montage of flashbacks I think made everyone emotional.
It was a bad idea that they did this episode so late in the series. They could've gotten younger actors to play them in the flashback scenes at this point.
I preferred the first 2 seasons, but still watched until the 'jumping the shark' episode. We all know that became the calling card for when a series started to turn downward.
I agree with you. The first three seasons were about kids growing up in the 50s. Also there was the older brother Chuck who I believe was going to college. Then the show was centered more around Fonzi was filmed before a live studio audience and Chuck disappeared.
This is around the time of the Korean War because at the start of the series Ritchie has an older brother, Chuck, who gets drafted to go to Korea and subsequently vanishes from the series. Now this makes me wonder... Most early bikers were WWII veterans who rode army surplus Harley Davidsons. Was Fonzie a veteran? He is considerably older than Ritchie and friends. Something to ponder.
According to other commenters here, Fonzi was supposed to be very near or the same age as Ritchie et al. I can see how your theory makes sense otherwise, but I don't imagine that much logical thought went into Fonzie's image by the creators, I would think it was more a case of them choosing stereotypical characteristics of a cool character.
Funny, the actor playing that other biker played Jughead in a one-episode Archie comics based show in the late 70s. This is only the second thing I’ve ever seen him in. He was a good Jughead.
How is this “Richie Meets Fonzie”? He met him way back in first few episodes…..white windbreaker, never talked,….and Ralph Mouth was a real nemesis to Richie they weren’t friends at all - almost enemies.
I’m glad Fonzie evolved from being a thug; he wouldn’t have been the beloved character that he became. It wasn’t just that he was cool, but that he was a good guy that made him who he was.
When i was a kid i though the fonze was so cool. I happened into henry at the pheonix airport a few years back, a part of me died when i stood next to this little man.
It’s the man inside that matters. And I’m not short just saying that to feel better I’m over six feet tall but it truly is who you make yourself that matters how you craft and maximize the potential of your personality. Confidence is really accepting a thing and making it work for rather than against you.
@@ComeAlongKay Truth! I always thought Fonzie's short but still in charge persona was a nod to James Cagney who was short but always played the toughest/coolest gangsters.
Imagine being so triggered and such a snowflake that you feel the need to spew this stuff on a post about Happy Days, when literally no one else mentioned anything else. Get help, buttercup.
Scott Baio is a very talented actor. He starred in many movies , TV shows , etc. I feel he displayed amazing talent in the movies , sitcoms , etc. he starred in.
That's been my opinion all these years. Lamer was when they had Fonzie move over Ritchie's garage. And then by the third season they barely even dressed like they were in the 50's. And don't get me started on Chachi. The live audience thing was a product of 70's sitcoms in general. But yeah, it wrecked the original tone of the show. It would have better to have cancelled the show after one season.
Ritchie shows up to fight The Fonz even tho he was scared shitless. Thats how they became friends. Fonz respected that he had guts even tho he knew he get creamed.

Yes, but it wasn't that simple. Richie convinced Fonzie that the gang was riding his coattails and he didn't need them to be cool.
Fonz said 10 o'clock
@ Yeah Richie kept him waiting because he had homework to do
It's hard to imagine now; this character -- Fonzie -- taking America by storm, but he did.

Nice spotting, that massacre movie is a good one, can’t recall how it ended though, maybe like heathers with a bomb?
He also was a regular and played Chachi’s cousin Mario on “Joanie Loves Chachi”. Which would also mean he is Fonzie’s cousin Mario.
good movie
I like the first few seasons personally. The pre Chachi episodes.
When they had he “1 2 3 o’clock” song opening and Ritchie’s brother Chuck Cunningham was in it, and had more outdoor shots and was “American Graffiti” like, Happy Days “jumped the shark” long before Fonzie actually jumped the shark. He original show, a spin off from “Love American Style” was supposed to be Ritchie “centric”, but after season 2 decided to make it Fonzie centric. They also had Fonzie wear the windbreaker as they were worried about the leather jacket / gang member connection when the show first debuted and Henry Winkler actually being in “The Lords of Flatbush”, a Brooklyn gang movie, that literally came out the same year as Happy Days.
Chachi ruined that TV show.
@@sagatuppercut2960 Wrong
Ya I agree 👍 they had alot more outside shots instead of before a live Audience performances also before Fonzie became this over Exaggerated character
@@TheSchmed every time I read "jump the shark" i have to go off and google it again.. lol.. every time
LOL,. Ritchie knew Fonzie when he was trying to finish school and wore a windbreaker instead of a leather jacket. This must be an alternate reality flashback.
It was contrived later on.
Fonzie got the windbreaker after leaving the Falcons
Nope. Fonzie was in the Falcons when he first met Richie and his pals. After he left the Falcons he wore the windbreaker since obviously he wasn't in the gang anymore. Then later started wearing the plain leather jacket. he was always a high school dropout and they always referenced how Fonzie was in a gang before. That's how he already had his reputation of being tough. This was a flashback of Richie telling the story to Cachi because Cachi joined a gang and Richie was trying to talk some sense into him.
@@webmasterd Who is 'Cachi'?
I love how often Happy Days rewrote characters backstories.
In a super early ep, they say Fonz ran with the Demons not the Falcons, and they definitely weren't a cut throat gang, they were just guys they went to school with and wore detailed letterman style jackets. Ritchie and Potsie actually beg Fonz to help them join so they can be cool and get girls, and its Fonzie who tries to dissuade them, but agrees.

TV was awful back then with few exceptions. It wasn’t until The Sopranos that tv shows were written and presented like they weren’t trying to insult the viewers intelligence.
Can’t believe we bought this show back in the 70’s. None of them look like they are in high school.

Alleys can be fun.

Happy Days is one of my favorite TV show to watch. Those were the very best days
A friend of mine actually thought it was filmed in the 60s.
No Marge, they weren't all happy days....

This was a later episode where Chachi wanted to join a gang. They were telling him in a flashback about when Fonzie was in one.
Richie showed up in a couple of episodes. Fonzie respected him for it.
😂 This Came from American Graffiti. The Fonz added spark to the Show.
American Graffiti took place in the 1960s. Oddly, this spun off from a Love, American Style story.
Happy Days came from a story in Love American Style
