Al v. Arnold Poll Results

Al and Arnold went head to head in our latest Rumpus Poll and the results really aren't that surprising (as I was an Arnold supporter myself.)
Al received only 12% of the vote,
Arnold received 69% and,
Those that didn't watch Happy Days (as incredible as that is) received a whopping 19%!

Did you know?
  • Happy Days aired from January, 1974 all the way until September, 1984.
  • There were 255 episodes made.
  • Al replaced Arnold in Season 4 (out of 11) and then came back during the 10 season.
  • Henry Winkler won three Emmy awards for a leading actor in a comedy.
And this from Tv Tome, "By the end of the series, Richie had married Lori Beth and had two children, Al had married Chachi's mother, Louisa, Potsie was, presumably, still in college, and Ralph was training to be an optometrist. In the series' finale, "Passages," Joanie and Chachi were married, and Fonzie (owner of Fonzie's Auto Repairing and Arnold's as well as Dean of Boys at Patton High) adopted an orphan boy named Danny. Howard thanked the audience for being a part of their family, and a sentimental clip montage was shown to Elvis Presley's 'Memories.' "

If you're feeling a bit of nostalgia, you can watch Happy Days on TV Land at 4:30 AM and 9:00 AM Eastern/Pacific.

What do Henry Winker, Denis Leary, Jay Leno and Stewdog have in common?

All are graduates of Emerson College in Boston.

I was one of those incredible non-watchers. I gave up TV many moons ago. Slipped back into watching for a while in the early 90s, but gave it up again. Don't miss it a bit. I don't see movies, either, but more out of laziness than principle. Guess I'd never survive on the left coast.
