I'm kinda new to Happy Days, but I notice that by the later episodes, Ron Howard isnt there, and some others arent there.... So can someone make a list of the actors/actresses that left during the run, and why?? Thanks!

Richie and Ralph left in 1980 to do other things. Arnold got married at the end of Season 3 and left the show but came back for Season 10. Joanie, Chachi, Al and Louisa left at the begining of the 10th season to go do Joanie Loves Chachi even though Joanie and Chachi made alot of guest appearences. Joanie and Chachi came back for season 11, Al and Louisa Didnt. Chuck left after Season 2 and was never mentioned again as The shows creator Garry Marshall felt the show was better without him. K.C., Ashley, Heather and Flip both came in for the 10th season but only lasted one season.

IMO, the show was really going downhill at season 11. I don't mean to affend anyone.
