Does anyone know why Ron Howard and Don Most left Happy Days? Also why was Most and Anson Williams not on the final episode? To me that was the only negative of that finale because it was a good ending. But to me when you think of Happy Days, you think of Richie, Fonzy, Potsie and Ralph so i thought they shouldv'e been there.

Ron Howard (my favorite actor) left Happy Days (my favorite show) in 1980 along with Donny Most. Ron ever since he was exposed to it on the Andy Griffith Show had the dream on becoming a director, and then his opportunity came, so sadly he left. Donny, on the other hand just wanted to move on. Yeah, it sucks because Potsie was the only one of the three to stay on through 1984--so why wasnt he on the last episode?! I dont know though. Makes me mad, cause he was one of my favorite characters! I stopped watching after 1980 though, but the final season is sooo sad!! (Even though Chachi bugged me to no end--Spike #1!!!) Anyways, I hope that answers your question!
