When they made the new Happy Days episodes, you know without Richie and barely Potsie it ruined the show so bad that it killed the funny.

Richie and Fonzie are like one person. They are the best of friends and nobody could change that, but they did and it killed the rest of the show.
Same goes for Ralph and Potsie, they are like one person. They were also great friends who did everything together, but they split them up to and the show just got worse.

Fonzie without Richie is like cereal with no milk.
Potsie without Ralph is like peanut butter without bread.

Now I understand they wanted to leave the show, that's fine. They both wanted to direct or produce and start families. I respect them for that and all that they have accomblized.

I like it even after they left, because I'm a Scott Baio/ Ted McGinley fan.

I like all of the seasons fairly equally. I don't understand why so many people dislike the last four seasons as much as they do. It's like they're saying, "Well, Richie's gone, so I'm going to hate it no matter how good it is."

Because it wasn't as funny as the original episodes and also because some people may be big Richie and Ralph fans, like me.
