Trivia

On February 03, 2005, the ABC channel offered Telespectors a special program: "30th Anniversary Reunion Happy Days" taking up the best moments of the meeting of September 11 and 12, 2004 as well as the best moments of the 10th anniversary in the series, of Bétisiers Unpublished, reports on the set and anecdotes. The show brought together 20 million people in the United States.

The address of the cunningham is 565, Clinton Drive.

The number of the Maison des Cunningham is 565, but according to the French version, the address of the Cunningham is 65, Clinton Drive (Marion announces it to the ambulancer) but it is a translation error.

At the start the project was to create a series located in the 1930s but Garry Marshall wanted to achieve something new being in the 1950s, the years of his youth. He produced a pilot episode "Love and the Happy Days", which turns out to be disappointing, and the project is almost abandoned.

Henri Winkler, unlike Fonzie, was very afraid to ride on a motorcycle.
