Set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1950’s, HAPPY DAYS revolves
around Richie Cunningham and his family and friends. A "wholesome" young man,
Richie is a Jefferson High School student who would do anything to get a date
and he spends plenty of time with his friends at Arnold’s, the local burger
joint. Contrasting with his wholesome nature is Arthur Fonzarelli, best known as
Fonzie, a rough-around-the-edges motorcycle riding high school dropout famous
for his slicked hair, leather jacket, and the catchphrase "aaayyyy!" Fonzie is a
regular around the Cunningham house, with Mrs. Cunningham doting on him and
Richie turning to him for advice on how to attract girls.
