Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBy the time of "Happy Days," a cliché was for greasers and hoodlums constantly to be combing their hair. Henry Winkler argued against doing this, saying it would make the Fonz look like an ordinary hoodlum. On the spur of the moment, Winkler made up the gag where the Fonz goes to comb his hair, looks in the mirror, and shrugs as if to say, "Ayyy, my hair's perfect. I don't need to comb it!" The gag got a big laugh from the studio audience and became a Fonzie trademark. Later in the series, Fonzie shows Richie his comb and says, "Do you know I have had this comb for nine years, and it has never once touched my hair." They repeated the Fonzie doesn't comb his hair gag in another clip, which was shown in the montage for the show's opening.
- 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.

Featured review
I love Happy Days!
I am 14 years old and I love Happy Days- there should be more programs like it now! I am a fan of older TV shows, as well as new ones [I love Starsky and Hutch], but If I ever need cheering up- I always put Happy Days on. I think I watch at least one episode a day and it puts me in a good mood!
All the characters are fantastic- Richie, Potsie, Ralph, Joanie etc..and who could ever forget The Fonz? What I love about Fonzie is that he is so cool but is also a softie and loves his 'family' The Cunninghams so much.
Watch Happy Days- you won't regret it!
To Happy Days!
