We weren’t that wounded in 74. It was a fun show.

Happy Days was such a feel-good show. Seeing where everyone ended up after all these years is fascinating.

watching this in 2026 is a total gut punch fr because Arnold's Drive-In is finally quiet and the "Aaaaay!" era feels like a distant memory now is just shattering. Seeing the "then and now" of the Happy Days crew after 52 years is unreal because it feels like a massive void in the history of television. The shameful truth is that the 1974 era feels officially bittersweet now that we have lost the heart of the Cunningham family with so many legends joining Tom Bosley and Erin Moran by 2026.

Happy Days was such a feel good show and seeing where the cast is now after 52 years feels really nostalgic some of them changed so much over time but they all helped create one of the most iconic sitcoms ever that still brings comfort and good memories today

Wow 😲 I totally get blown away watching these then and now videos 🤣 I think I feel old as hell now looking back at all these classic shows. The more things change the more they stay the same.

It's "AAAYYY" (hard A, which sounds like "Hey"), not "A-YEI A-YEI" (that's the sound automaton Alpha 5 makes on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers when Rita Repulsa & Lord Zedd threaten Angel Grove with a monster-of-the-day threat).

The True Premiere of Happy Days was a little earlier than commonly known...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt6KdHOOJ4A

Henry Winkler was in a film with Sylvester Stallone before Happy Days, called The Lords of Flatbush...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5r_2kYJR3o&list=RDk5r_2kYJR3o&start_radio=1
