HAPPY DAYS: Season 11 (1983-84) Clip (Richie Cunningham Returns)

I recall as a 7th grader being super excited about Richie's return. They were running promos all week leading up to this episode. I had begun watching Happy Days around 1976 when I was 5 years old. So fast forward to November 1983 as a soon to be 12 year old, I made sure I was in front of my TV that particular Tuesday evening at 7 PM CST. I had no idea that Richie was only visiting for two episodes. Needless to say, I was disappointed seeing Ron Howard's character depart the show again.

What cracks me up about the later seasons is how some characters had modern 1980s hairstyles and clothes.

She, Joanie, was genuinely emotional during these episodes because she knew it was ending and she truly loved all of her castmates or as she called them her 2nd family. These clips have brought tears to my eyes as well. I grew up in Milwaukee and I loved this show so much. As a little kid my Dad was the Fonz...he had the hair, but no cycle. We used to go to the place that they based Arnolds off of. It's called Leon's. It's a ice cream drive-in type very similar to Arnold's but no indoor seating. But back to the original point, when these last episodes were being done it truly was hard on these people. They grew up together. Erin Moran was a kid when she started. We watched her grow into a amazing woman. This show did everything right.

Che bei tempi di happy days

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

I think the reason why they got rid of the Chuck character was because they wanted Fonzie to step into the big brother role more after he started getting more popular after seasons 1-2.

[@greggbarnette5316]

Good theory...but it would have been nice to give some closure to his character being written off..

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

Yeah, but it's not really a theory.. It's in actual interviews during the earlier seasons as to why the Chuck character was taken away, and if you take a closer look at it now, they do actually explain his disappearance. Sometimes, when kids go off to college, even in wholesome families like this one, they still don't keep in contact with them, just because of distance or otherwise. I admit, they should have at least mentioned his name and what not, even during the finale and stuff. But, a lot of shows are like that. I know that there are interviews out there with Howard and Winkler about it, you can even wiki the Fonzie character and it'll say that he started off as a secondary character and moved into the primary role as the show went on. Interesting stuff, if you take the time to research it, you'll be able to find it.

[@DarthSideous63]

I agree plus the Chuck character never worked out. They wisely phased him out.

And to think by this time Ron had already directed Henry in Night Shift, and had just finished directing Splash, which was released in early '84.

I like the part when ron says Pay the cab driver and henry walks in and sees Richie and ralph the 3 amigos back together what a moment!

[@williambarnard1763]

only thing that could have made that scene better was to have Potsie come in as well.
