The Scene That Took Happy Days (1974) Off the Air for Good

The Scene That Took Happy Days Off the Air for Good One scene that seemed harmless actually ended Happy Days for good. For eleven seasons, from 1974 to 1984, Happy Days was one of the most-watched television programs in America and it launched some of the biggest careers in Hollywood. Years later, the shocking truth about the scene that “went too far” is finally being revealed. Did one crazy scene really end Happy Days, or was there a bigger scandal that the network tried to hide? Join us as we discover the surprising moment that supposedly took America’s favorite sitcom off the air for good. On September 20, 1977, the fifth season of Happy Days began with an episode titled "Hollywood: Part 3," in which Henry Winkler's character, Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, donned water skis and a leather jacket before jumping over a live shark in a fenced-off section of the ocean. This scene attracted over 30 million viewers and achieved significant ratings success at the time, yet it left a lasting impression on audiences in a way that no one anticipated. The episode was penned by Fred Fox Junior, who found himself defending it for many years against the ensuing criticism.
