Also the father of two lesser spin-offs ("Laverne & Shirley" and "Joanie Loves Chachi"), "Happy Days" proved that one amazing character (Fonz) could basically carry a program's list of shortcomings. Happy Gilmore is an unsuccessful ice hockey player who lacks skills, other than fighting and a powerful slapshot.After yet another failed tryout, Gilmore learns that his grandmother owes the IRS 270,000 in back taxes and that she has 90 days to pay off the past due balance on her mortgage, or her house will face foreclosure. Cast departures (Howard, Most and diner owner Pat Morita) and additions (Ted McGinley, Scott Baio, Al Molinaro and Morita again) did nothing to change ratings as the show consistently stayed high on the Nielsen scale. The Cunningham family live through the 1950s with help and guidance from lovable and almost superhuman greaser Fonzie. I have thought about ‘Happy Days’ being made into a movie, Moran said. But she wanted a movie in which the original cast played the starring roles.
And she could see the case for a Happy Days movie, Moran said in an undated interview with Sitcoms Online before her death. Would-be motorcycle tough guy punk Henry Winkler (aka Fonzie) stole the show from minute one and he was the main reason why the show survived so long. With Henry Winkler, Marion Ross, Tom Bosley, Erin Moran. Moran played Joanie Cunningham on Happy Days. Howard, his friends (Don Most and Anson Williams) and their misadventures with school and girls dominated the show's story-lines early on. The show followed the Cunningham family (father Tom Bosley, mother Marion Ross, son Ron Howard and daughter Erin Moran) in Milwaukee throughout the 1950s.
"American Graffiti"-styled television show that ran a decade (1974-1984) and completed a mind-blowing 255 episodes in all.
