Were they filmed prior to this or after? (I was only 4 then so...) Like in those eps were Joanie & Chachi still not married yet or were they?

The show had long before jumped the shark. Note most of the montage memory scenes were of the days when Richie was still on the show.

[@calebbegley3833]

I don't believe the show ever became "unwatchable." Seasons 7 and 8 are terrific. Season 9 was okay, and season 10 was definitely the weakest the show ever put out. Season 11 was a solid ending to what was a great show. In fact, I'm one of the fans who thinks that the show became elevated into its brilliance only after they transitioned to filming in front of a live audience. You need that chemistry between actor and viewer in order for things to work. For me, the first season and a half or so were okay. At the best, they were harmless, sort-of muddled television. At their worst, they were boring, bland, and, to quote you, "borderline unwatchable." But when they went in front of a live audience, the show turned from a run-of-the-mill sitcom into something truly outstanding. You know, I'm only 24, but I grew up watching I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, and this. Those are the three greatest sitcoms of all time, period. (Don't @ me, M.A.S.H. fans.)

I just wrote a huge comment, so I won’t do that again, but thinking about Erin Moran’s fairly recent death, and knowing how Happy Days ended, with her wedding to Chachi, and how “Joanie Loves Chachi” Was an utter disaster, makes Me sad… it’s just “life”, but it puts the whole thing into some kind of sad perspective, how much hope and fear she must have had when HD was ending and she (and Scott Baio) were expected to carry Joanie Loves Chachi, and the HOPE Expressed when Howard says Simply, “To Happy Days”…Erin Moran WAS Joanie to me…anyway, nothing TOO heavy, just thinking of that little irony… RIP Ms Moran… The first clip in the montage is Fonzie eating dinner with The Cunninghams, and Joanie/Erin still a grade-schooler. To think of her in ‘Haunted’, dressed up for Halloween 🎃 but still needing to A) Be taken on “her rounds” by her mother and, B) Mrs. C making her wear her coat over her costume, because it was chilly lol… still makes me smile 😊 (Sniff)

[@Jim_L]

For me, the series ended after the second season. After that, they made Fonzie into a cartoonish super hero, and the show lost all its appeal. Those first two seasons were also done in a studio and shot on film -- NOT before a live audience -- which gave the show a warm nostalgic feel.

Revival idea: Pat Morita's daughter owns arnold's. Her teen daughter's name is Rikki, her best friend is white, named Heather. Their nerdy friend is chinese, named Pam. Their older, "cool" friend is Mitsui, who was a teen J pop star in Japan in the 90s, now moved to Milwaukee to try to become famous in the usa, with hilarious results. Show is set in the 2000s, with myspace, w bush references, etc. Legacy characters appear when they can. Fonsie and Mitsui do not get along, and no one believes Mr Fonsarelli, the retired schoolteacher, used to be be cool

[@gandlar5489]

I remember watching this and not realizing it was the final episode.It was such a great tv show.

[@candacecassidy5366]

Joanie Cunningham got married to Charles Arcola. That was the best one ever.

[@christophermarzian6608]

I love how they had Tom Bosley give the final speech instead of Henry Winkler.

[@lexkanyima2195]

Why ?

[@christophermarzian6608]

Because he was the original lead after Ron Howard. It was also his daughter getting married. Fonzie was only cousin to CHachi.

[@lexkanyima2195]

@@christophermarzian6608 ohh, i thought Fonzie would take more responsibility.
