Default If You Had Wrote The 8th-11th Seasons...

If you were putten in charge of writing the 8th-11th Seasons of Happy Days, What would you have done? Richie and Ralph can stay, But a little change is needed to keep the show fresh.



I Would have had Richie get married in the 8th Season to Lori Beth and move into their own house. Richie would also finally get his job as a writer for The Milwaukee Journal. In the 11th Season Richie Jr is Born.

I Would have added a third roomate for Potsie and Ralph. A Girl that they could fight over (Im kinda stealing this from Boy Meets World, But Hey...It would be Hilarious)

Everything that happened between Joanie and Chachi in the 80's was good, So ill leave them as that.

I STILL Would have added Roger and Jenny. Jenny would still fit in as Joanies friend. and Roger could stay in Richie's room since Richie and Lori Beth have their own house.

I Would not have had Joanie, Chachi, Al or Louisa leave for Joanie Loves Chachi. Al would still marry Louisa, and Co-Own Arnolds with Fonzie until the 10th Season when Arnold comes back. Than i would have Fonzie sell his half to Arnold and have Arnold and Al as Co-Owners

Fonzie would have married Ashley in the 10th Season Finale. He would be married throughout the 11th Season.

Flip, and (As much as i like her) K.C would not have been added since they really werent needed. But I Would use them as guests for one time episodes.

Fonzie would still become a teacher, and his students would be Bobby, Eugiene, Tommy and a bunch of extras like usual.

Mork would have made one or two guest appearences in the 80's, Bringing Mindy with him.

Mickey Malph would pass away in a 9th Season Episode leading to a very emotional Ralph Episode.

During an episode in the 10th Season Mr. C is sitting at the table. And out of nowhere Chuck would come from the Kitchen dribbling a Basketball. Mr. C Would look confused a minute and than say "Chuck?" Chuck would than say "Yeah Dad?". Mr. C would say "Where have you been" and Chuck would say "I Accidently Locked Myself in the Basement". Chuck would than say hes going off to Basketball practice and never be seen on the show again. Mr. C would than say "We have a Basement?"

And lastly, Since Laverne and Shirley ended before the 11th HD Season. I Would bring Laverne back to Milwaukee in to the 11th Season wanting to go out with Fonzie, But after finding out hes a married man she would become depressed because she spent alot of money to go back to Milwaukee and cant afford to go back to California, So Fonzie would talk to Arnold and Al getting her a waitress job at Arnolds. She would eventually finally find a true love and get married to a very unlikely person...Roger.

I agree with everybody. That's the way I would write it too.

Chad, you are a genius! I love your ideas. Too bad you couldn't have been the one in charge of the Happy Days episodes. With those episodes, it would have run a lot more years.

Here is my idea:

1. Do some episodes where Chuck returns, telling where he's been

2. Have Chachi's mother remarry, and move away.

3. Finish the garage for Roger

4. Joanie and Jenny could move out and become roommates.

5. Richie and LoriBeth could get married.

Edit: have Chachi, his mom, and Al to move away and this mysterious ARTHUR that ran it in the first episode could come back, then Arnold would make his real enterance like he really did.

Talking Great!

Great Ideas! But If I could change just one thing it would be that Joanie never marries Chachi.

Instead she marries Fonzie and they move out to the west coast to live near Richie and Lori Beth.

Chachi then later on marries Jenny and all ends well!!

Oh, and Baby Fonzie is also introduced in the last season.
