Happy Days
One of the most successful series of the 1970s is Happy Days, which is set in the late 1950s, early 1960s in Milwaukee, the heart of middle-class America.

Fonzie is grateful when Potsie Weber pulls him to safety from a burning garage but soon regrets giving the Good Samaritan his choice of reward.
Richie's secret scheme to convince sophisticated Cindy Kendall that he has his own apartment by exchanging bedrooms with Fonzie is foiled when her furious father comes looking for her in the middle of the night.
A motorcycle mishap forces the Fonz to push his broken bike for 12 miles just before he partners with Joanie Cunningham for a grueling dance marathon.

Only the Fonz stays calm when Richie and the gang get locked in the hardware store's basement vault where they have gathered to store their school's time capsule.

Richie basks in glory after winning his high-school basketball game with a lucky shot in the final seconds of a nail-biter--until a rival team and their femme fatale kidnap him to keep him off the court.
Tired of being treated like a servant in her own home and searching for self-worth, frustrated homemaker Marion Cunningham gets a job at Al's Drive-In. But Al's teen customers start to leave when Marion's waitressing takes a back seat to motherly meddling, and an emergency meeting is called in the Fonz's office to decide her fate.
The Cunninghams and their friends reminisce through special moments and enjoy a few surprises on the night of Howard and Marion's surprise 20th wedding anniversary celebration.
Marion Cunningham is forced to reveal Fonzie's secret plan to graduate with Richie's senior class just before Principal Conners' startling announcement at the high school prom that puts the graduation ceremony itself in jeopardy.
Fonzie's friends convince their principal to let the night school graduate participate in Jefferson High School's commencement ceremony, but then must find a way to help the Fonz make his valedictory speech.
A short-tempered sergeant loses his tenuous grasp on discipline when the Fonz reports to the Army recruitment center soon after draftees Richie, Ralph and Potsie check in for physicals.
Big brother Richie rides to the rescue when little sister Joanie is asked for more than she's ready to give to become a gang-leader's girlfriend.
