Did Chachi Love Joanie? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hey, this is Pat from the sticky post "DVDs I SHOUTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I've been doing some research on Scott Baio. Now the internet claims he was born in 1960. In the TV series Scott Baio is 45 and Single, he claims to have dated Erin Moran for a season (she claimed a month and a half) where he claimed to be 14 while she was 15. WHAT???? Scott would have been 14 during 1974/1975 (birthday in Sept) but he played Bugsy Malone in 1976 and started Happy Days in 1977. In an interview he said that there was his first kissing scene with Erin and he was real nervous until Erin went over to him and kissed him before the shoot. Didn't Chachi first kiss Joanie on the lips in season 7 after Arnold's burnt down? This would put them in 1979 or 1980 depending on how far they shoot before airing the episodes. Any insight?

It's been so long since I've seen Happy Days or Joanie Loves Chachi but I used to LOVE JLC for the short amount of time that it was on. I remember you talking about that show and now I'm kind of curious about it.

I thought it was one of those kind of shows that was "so bad it was good" !

Meaning it was so cornball but entertaining with the bad acting !

And of course like all the girls back than , I thought Chachi was cute!

I liked the chubby girl who I think was supposed to be Chachi's cousin ? She was funny , also she was funny on Mr. Belvedere, she had that big crush on Kevin !

I think that's why I liked it too and I had a little crush on Scott Baio back then. I didn't last very long but long enough for me to buy his album!

They both were born in 1960, so they were the same age. So they would have been 17 when he first got on Happy Days, and 19-20 when Arnold's burned down. Their first kiss was actually on the baby sitting episode "Fools Rush In", which was their first date.

So either they dated before he was on the show, or his memory is off. Or he is thinking of how old the characters would have been. They still had two more years of high school after season 7, so their characters would have been sophomores in season 7, which would be 15/16
