Henry Winkler was only going to be the Fonze in a few episodes, but it was clear from the start that the character had a lot of interest. Suddenly the series about the Boswell family became incidental to the story of the leather jacketed Fonz. Who was the bad boy, turned good.
The series launched spin off shows like Mork and Mindy and Laverne and Shelly, and it launched Ricky Cunningham as an international film director.
