It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 45 years since Happy Days first aired. The hit television show was first released on January 15, 1974, and ran until September 24, 1984.

Throughout the eleven seasons of Happy Days, fans followed Richie Cunningham and his friends and family as they lived their lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The show’s main characters included Richie (played by Ron Howard), Warren “Potsie” Weber (played by Anson Williams), Arthur “Fonz” Fonzarelli (played by Henry Winkler), Ralph Malph (played by Don Most), Marion Cunningham (played by Marion Ross), Howard Cunningham (played by Tom Bosley), Joanie Cunningham (played by Erin Moran), and Charles “Chachi” Cunningham (played by Scott Baio).

Happy Days had two hugely successful spinoff shows: Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy.

In 2015, Henry Winkler sat down with Variety to talk about his time on the iconic television show. He remembers his time on the show fondly, but the thing that has stuck with him most through the years has been his relationship with Ron Howard.

Before Ron became a director, he asked Henry what he thought of the idea. “We chatted about it while we were waiting for a scene. He said, ‘Do you think I could be a good director?’” Henry told Variety. “I said, ‘Ron, you could probably be a great brain surgeon, if you put your mind to it.’ (He had) confidence and humanity and will and perception, because telling a story is knowing the human condition.”

Henry and Ron became great friends over the course of the show, and Henry even became the godfather of Ron’s daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard.

Most fans of Happy Days loved that they felt like they were part of the family while watching the show. And it turns out the cast was just as much a family off-set as they were on-set!
