This scene was very well written and performed -- I think just about everyone can relate with re-connecting with people you knew years and years ago -- then sitting there staring at each other as you realize you've all drifted your own ways and can't find anything to say. And yet, when I initially watched this episode, a part of me really wanted them all to say something that brought it all back. The idea of having Ralph start playing "Blueberry Hill" was a masterstroke.

Well, for a show that is set between 1957 and 1968, that's very...........early 80s!! Still, one of the BEST shows ever produced.

Fun fact, Donny Most auditioned for Potsie but since Ron Howard was a redhead they thought they looked to similar. But they really liked Most, so they created the character of Ralph for him.

Kudos to the person who posted this. It’s a shame this syndicated version cut so much of this scene that really brought back the original Happy Days nostalgia. Originally the scene begins with Richie and Ralph entering the building, soaking in the gleeful emotions of a place they both missed while they were in the Army, looking at each other and saying in a joyful and relaxing manner, “Arnold’s!” This was followed by Potsie entering, hugging Richie, and telling him how he hated his mustache. Ralph tries to embrace Potsie to which Potsie rebukes Ralph for money Ralph never paid to him. Richie intervenes and gives Potsie the amount of money Ralph owed him, which helped the two to make up and hug one another. Chachi and Roger enter, which brings about the funniest scene in which Roger mistakens Ralph for Richie. Ralph decides to play along with this and Chachi has to nudge Roger of his error. Roger looks at Ralph, while completely embarrassed at himself and says “oh I get it...laughter at my own expense. Ralph’s response is legendary- “that’s what I do best!” There was other small dialogue between everyone long before Fonzie’s arrival. I’m telling you, just as this scene on KZread was memorable, the uncut edition brought it to a whole new level.

They were older and they had their own lives. Richie went to Los Angeles, Ralph went to Dental School, Potsie became a Guidance Counselor at Jefferson High and Fonzie co-owned Arnold's, Taught at The Vocational School, and owned The Garage. Not bad for a Garage Mechanic. It happens, you got older, you're interests changed and you change. Remember in Stand By Me, Gordie, Vern, Chris, and Teddy were thick as Thieves in 1959 but by the time they graduated in 1965 they were "Strangers". The same thing happened in The Sweet Valley High Books. Elizabeth's Best Friend at 12 Amy came back and they couldn't believe that in four years they would both change.

Later episodes like this were going through the motions. Some characters had modern (1980s) hairstyles and clothes. In this scene, Jefferson's hair and suit are current day when the show aired. And they say "our old spot" but this version of Arnolds is new to them.

It ran it's course, it was LONG overdue to end.

It wasn't the same without Richie and Ralph leaving. Richie was the center piece of the show and Ralph and Potsie were his side kicks. Without two of them it was odd. Yeah they still had The Fonz, The Cunningham's, Joanie, Chachi ect.... But without Richie, the show went downhill. Potsie looked out of place and Arnold's original look not being there looked odd.

True. When Richie and Ralph left, that left Fonzie and Potsie. Fonzie only tolerated him for Richie's sake and they had nothing else in common.

The show truly did jump the shark when Howard left. The Fonzie and Chachi Show was a shadow of the first five years. The reason why the show endured was money. Unlike ABC's other disastrous decisions to move successful shows to new time slots, leading to their demise or departure from the network ("Taxi," "Mork and Mindy," "Angie"), they never moved Happy Days from Tuesday night, likely because of Garry Marshall's clout, so it had a built-in loyal audience who watched it regularly, like clockwork, so the ratings remained high.

"Angie" died b/c the writers unwisely married off the two leads at the end of Season 1, so the sexual tension disappeared. Season 2 was just another domestic comedy, not as appealing, so it got canned 1/2way through. On all other shows (e.g., IDOJeannie, Get Smart, The Nanny), the romantic leads get married only in the penultimate season, after a long run of teasing the audience with their romance.
