Happy days are here again, friends. Ron Howard and Henry Winkler co-starred in Happy Days, a campy TV sitcom set in the 1950s, for 11 seasons from 1974 to 1984. Richie Cunningham and Arther Fonzarelli, better known as “The Fonz,” are two of the most iconic TV characters ever. And while it’s been 40 years since the show went off the air, some friendships stay the same.

Fans Loved Henry Winkler And Ron Howard’s “Happy Days” Snap
It’s easy to tell when a photo is forced and when people are genuinely happy to be together. This picture is undoubtedly real. Ron Howard and Henry Winkler look like two men who share a lifetime of memories and love. Happy Days fans keyed in on this very quickly.
“You both bring us so much joy and happiness, and for that, we are grateful and all the better for it. Ty so much,” someone commented.
This fan agreed, “As an old guy whose favorite show as a kid was Happy Days, this makes me very happy.”
We love this story about Henry.
“We used to live by Anson Williams and came to watch Happy Days filmed all the time. YOU were by far the nicest member of the cast (excluding Anson lol). I was like 8 when we started coming and after a few times, you remembered us and always asked about my riding lessons. We sat next to Ron’s mom most of the time. When you would wave and say ‘hi’ I felt like a rockstar.”
