Happy Days Appreciation Thread

[Earth 2 Chris]

^ I remember one of those clip show reunions for Happy Days. I think it was late 90s-ish? They had both Chucks on there, and acknowledged the oddity of Chuck disappearing from existence (much like Fonzie's nephew Spike. Later, Fonzie was an only child).

Oddly enough, another thing that That 70's Show borrowed from Happy Days: Donna had a little sister, very briefly in the earliest episodes. She was only seen once as I recalled, and then disappeared.

I've always felt sorry for Chuck. Couldn't even bring the poor guy back at the end.

Chuck became a drunk --- at least on Superman-3 he was

I loved that video. As popular as Happy Days was, it does seem to be forgotten from time to time. This video revived interest in it. Hopefully the Hub reruns will as well.

As long as Hollywood doesn't try for a movie remake...ugh.

For memory in pop culture's sake, I'd say a movie remake could only help
an oldie sitcom.

Interesting thing about the pinball machine in Arnold's..it's an anachronism...wasn't produced until the early 70s...The first sign of the show not staying true to its roots and timeline

This is the Fonzie pinball machine I was talking about

You "Officer Kirk" guys gave me a real treat today... i never know where to
start on youtube, so I found a Kirk episode w/the thought that it'd be
nostalgic bliss... and it was! Thanks sincerely guys!

I was really happy to see "Officer Kirk" grilling Captain Kirk on Star Trek as a kid.

I still have a real fondness for the early season, particularly the first. It's fun to watch the cheesier episodes as well.

A lot of the Family channel sitcoms my kids watch remind me of those campy happy days shows, I honestly think it was a prototype of sorts.

Any episode with Officer Kirk is always good too

Oh, my GAWWD, YES.. He's one of the BEST character actors around..!! I didn't watch the show much after the Diner caught fire, but I was pleased they didn't 'over-use' him before then..

Just a couple times a year was perfect..!!

Speaking of Holiday episodes, the first Christmas episode where Richie finds Fonzie, alone eating his can of beans, and then invites him to the Cunningham Christmas has to be one of THE best holiday episodes ever.

True dat! I don't like the version though where they frame it with a story told to Chachi.....

Anyone remember the Fonzie Pinball machine?
