Thumbs down Happy Days Lost It When Richie left.....

And took Ralph Malph with him.

It just wasn't as much fun without the Richie/Fonzie interaction.

I agree, any show would fade off if the main star leaves

We are trying to say when a star character leaves, it's a HUGE HOLE left in the show. And that's what happened when richie left

The show was alright after Richie left, but they should have renamed it to "Less Happy Days."

The only episodes that pull me away from what I'm doing to sit down and watch are the early shows before they went live.

I felt Happy Days jumped the shark when Ron Howard left. the Richie/Fonzie relationship became the focal point of the show.

I didn't like when Richie left, but I actually thought that when Chachi was on there it was really good.

I've said it a million and a half times and I'll say it again...I loved HD from episode 1, to 255.

I've only seen episodes from season 1-3 (stupid Dutch networks won't air the show anymore ), so I never saw the non-Richie shows. But it seems to me that a show loses a lot of its glance once a main character leaves. I wonder what 'Happy Days' has to be like without a Richie-Fonzie relationship.

Like T.F. Storm, I like all of the episodes. I always find myself looking forward to the post Richie/Ralph episodes when they're on the horizon of the TV Land schedule.

And if you're lucky, you will never get to see those non-Richie and Ralph seasons.
