The classic TV show Happy Days revolved around the lives of the Cunningham family and their close-knit group of friends, including the effortlessly cool Arthur Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler), better known as Fonzie. During the ’70s, the show was a force to be reckoned with on ABC, where it anchored the network’s Tuesday night lineup.

Growing up, I truly loved watching this show. So much so, in fact, that I’ve written article after article about it. Heck, I even did a deep dive into the mystery of whatever happened to older brother Chuck. It seems like one evening, good old Chuck just told the family he was going to go play some basketball and never came back.
