I'm a Happy Days fan. I've always wondered about something.
1.What happened to Richie's & Joanie's older brother Chuck?
2.What happened to their old house? It didn't have a room over the garage until ep.40.

I just saw the final episode earlier this week (where Joanie and Chachi get married). Howard makes a speech at the end and says something to the effect of "now that our two kids are grown up and married...". They don't even acknowledge that Chuck was ever on the show.

The other ridiculous thing about this show was that in the last 2-3 seasons, it was like they forgot the show took place in the past. Everyone dressed like it was 1981-84; worse 80's hairstyles, etc. They really should have ended it when Ron Howard left.
The show started in Jan 1974 and was set in 1956. So, if it ran for 10.5 years; the final season would have taken place in 1966! It's now been 18 years since it left the air, so a reunion movie made now would take place in 1984; the present day when the series ended. Funny

Except that the Korean war ended in 1953, and "Happy Days" was set in 1956 when it started. Oh well, I guess he could have been killed in a peace time accident while in the military.

Maybe he time traveled into the future like Mork traveled into the past therefore creating an alternate timeline where he didnt even exisit.
The last few years after Richie left and they made Jennie Picallo and Joannie and Chachi major characters...sucked.
Sit on it!
