Potsie should have left the show much sooner than 1983 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

i thought that Potsie stayed to the end of the show but left in 83-Actually he should have left a little sooner because his character was beginning to be pointless. No more Richie or Ralph-Did he have steady girlfriend on the show by 82, 83? Does anyone know what the producers decided to do with the Potsie character after 1980?

I agree, he should have left sooner. He was one of only two cast members to have been with the show since "Love, American Style" all the way to the end. So what did they decide to do with Potsie after Richie and Ralph left? They hid him in the background. He had some occassional appearances, but he didn't have much of a starring role. Granted, they kept him in the opening credits, but it was like he wasn't there. You'd think they would have made Anson one of the stars since he was there so long instead of bringing Joannie and Chachi into the spotlight. His character wasn't developed much past 1980, and I for one think that is a great disappointment.

But if you think about it, the Potsie character really did not shine too much because it was mostly the Fonz, Richie and Ralph. The Fonz was known for AYAAH!, Richie was known for that laugh, Ralph was the comedian, But was Potsie known for? I think those three characters help kept his role on the show but it showed thathe was not importamt once his two pals left. And fonzie would not have looked right hanging with just potsie.

Potsie's a stud. Im thinking about capturing the audio from the eps he sings on and making a potsies greatest hits album. Im thinking that everytime i drive by a school or the mall, ill blare it real loud to drown out their n sync tunes.

Potsie Should Have Never Left And They Should Have Not Made Him Such A Nerd

Cactus Jack · 09-14-2002, 04:00 PM

You're right anyways sometiems i think he should have left 1980 with Rich and Ralph or Rich and Ralph stayed and they all left at the same time, after the 10th season, anyone agree

Stormtracker TF · 09-14-2002, 04:04 PM

I Agree, I Just Wish They All Would Have Stayed Till The End
