I know that I'm a few weeks late, but I just remembered that the series finale of Happy Days (https://www.looper.com/885110/the-real-reason-happy-days-was-canceled/), "Passages" (https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=fred&p=117&item=T:51594) (where Joanie and Chachi tie the knot (https://happydays.fandom.com/wiki/Passages:_Part_2)) first aired (https://ultimateclassicrock.com/happy-days-series-finale/) on ABC on May 8, 1984 (https://www.tvtango.com/listings/1984/05/08). This interestingly enough, wasn't the last "new" episode (https://www.metv.com/stories/the-network-had-this-ridiculous-gripe-with-the-happy-days-finale) of Happy Days (https://www.google.com/search?q=Happy+Days&sca_esv=2b3402ed1f730118&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ADLYWIJBA3GLRO45ns4BylXN6XMOK-8B_Q%3A1716781507529&source=lnt&tbs=bkt%3As%2Ccdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A1%2F1%2F1984%2Ccd_max%3A12%2F31%2F1984&tbm=bks) to be broadcast as there were about five additional or "leftover" (https://www.radiodiscussions.com/threads/the-last-episode-of-happy-days.588056/) episodes that aired (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Days_season_11#Episodes) during the summer of 1984.
