Here's a tidbit of my own. Tita Bell who appears in some of the early HD episodes, is currently a staff writer for the CBS soap Guiding Light. Either that or it's a person of the same name.:bighug:

In 1977, Melinda Naud (Paula Petralunga) Starred in a sitcom called "Detective School", she was replacement for another Female Character. It only lasted one season though. She also was a supporting cast member in the 1977 TV Series "Operation Petticoat" based on the 1959 movie. it lasted 2 seasons.

I looked at the information about the episodes of Happy Days, and I believe that the first time Fonz wore a leather jacket was in the episode "The Deadly Dares (2/19/74)" for the first time. He wore it to the dance.

He wore the cloth jacket in the beginning and at the end but at the dance, I'm sure he had a leather one on.

:wave:

OH! This is off subject, but I tried to email some info in the area where we can add info, and I found the emails don't work and the email addresses aren't listed so I could email from my email address instead of from the board. I think they should be listed instead of just click here. :(

Acctually I think it was in "Guess Whos Comming To Visit" episode 4. He wore it at the Drag Race.

BUMP! NEW TIDBIT!


THis tidbit came from MCOB :
Did you know that the reason why they didnt bring back Spike was not because he was too "Fonzie", but because he kept hitting on Marion? In March of 1975 she put a restraining order against him and then he backed off.

:eek2: Yuck! She's like 30 years older than he is!

Anyway, here's another tidbit!

The burgler on the episode "The Cunningham Caper" was played by Herb Edelman (who died on July 21, 1996) also went on later to play the part of Stanley Zbornak, Dorothy's ex-husband, on "The Golden Girls."

NEW TIDBIT!
From IMDB :
Anson Williams' voice was the one heard when songs like "Hound Dog" were playing on the juke box, maybe thats why it lists Anson as part of the artist that contributed to the series at the end of every episode

FonzFan, have you ever seen Henry Winkler's movie, "An American Christmas Carol?" It's just excellent.:)

The part of "Joannie" was originally meant for someone else, not Erin Moran. If you notice in the 1st episode, "All the Way" her name isn't mentioned in any of the credits. Is that because she didn't have a speaking role? I always wondered about that.

NEw Tidbit :
Okay, I dont know if anyone knew this, but the song that Fish and the Fins sang at the concert in episode 36, "Young Blood", is not a song made for the show, they were doing a rock version of a song of the same name by the 50s doo wop group The Coasters

I remember that show. James Gregory, who played Inspector Luger on Barney Miller, was on that show. So was LaWanda Page, Aunt Esther from Sanford and Son.
