I Dont Care lol Fonzie's My Fave And I Think He's The Star

I think the show itself was the star! Kind of like M*A*S*H. You have this talented ensemble cast who all bring something special to the show. Granted, there are those who are focused on more in some episodes, but it is the whole cast who "make" the show. Happy Days was one of those kind of shows.

How's that for not answering your question?!

when youre not even supposed to be the star of a show, and people like you so much that you become it, Youre one helluva star!!!

We love you arthur fonzarelli, we love you

I agree with Chad too. Richie was the star from Season 1 to 7 and Fonzie Was The Star from 8 to 11.

Fonzie wasn't the star until the 1980-81 season-which is when Ron Howard left

I think at first it was more an ensemble, then they focused more on Richie, then Fonzie came along, and I thought it balanced out some, that Fonzie and Richie were both the stars.

Overall it was an ensemble and without the ensemble there would be no HD

The show was made to make Ron the star. And he was. Henrys role just happened to make him very popular- but that in no way made him the *star*. Ron was still bringing home the bigger paycheck.

I agree to a point, I think when most people think of Happy Days, they think of Fonzie, Fonzie is an icon. I think Henry was much a star as Ron was.

FonzForever · 07-24-2003, 08:06 PM

The truth is they were BOTH the stars. The heart of the show at it's peak was Richie & Fonzie's relationship. Before Fonzie blew up in popularity the show wasn't doing as well as the network wanted. After Richie left and that dynamic was gone, the show began to wane. They were co-stars and basically their chemistry brought to the show to it's greatest heights.
Beyond that, it's was The Fonz's popularity the changed Happy Days. Ask yourself this. Would they even have considered continuing the show after 1980 had Henry Winkler left instead of Ron Howard?
