Happy Days' Original Title Would've Killed The Classic Show

The much-loved sitcom Happy Days is known for "jumping the shark" after season 5, but if the show had stuck to its original name, it never would have made it that far. First airing in 1974, Happy Days began as a nostalgic sitcom about the lives of the Cunningham family and their friends. However, it soon became clear that Henry Winkler's Fonzie was the real star of the show, and he got an increasingly bigger role as Happy Days continued. Garry Marshall's 1950s-set sitcom also made household names of Robin Williams, who played Mork, and Ron Howard, who played Richie Cunningham and was originally intended as the show's star.
