Where to start with Happy Days

Happy Days first, and both of the spin-offs anyone actually wants are introduced from inside it, which makes the order for once genuinely worth following.

  1. 1
    Happy Days, seasons 1 and 2 Happy Days

    Thirty-nine episodes shot on film without an audience. Quieter and more wistful than the show it becomes, and some people prefer it.

  2. 2
    Season 3, then Laverne & Shirley Happy Days

    Season three is the format change and also the episode A Date with Fonzie, which introduces Laverne and Shirley ten weeks before their own show started.

  3. 3
    Season 5, then Mork & Mindy Happy Days

    My Favorite Orkan is in season five, and Mork & Mindy started that September. Its second season was retooled and is the one to be warned about.

  4. 4
    Seasons 9 to 11, with Joanie Loves Chachi after season 9 Happy Days

    Joanie Loves Chachi is seventeen episodes and the only spin-off that will not make sense on its own. Both characters return to Happy Days afterwards.

Then what? The three cartoons are appendices and share nothing with the live-action continuity. Blansky's Beauties and Out of the Blue are thirteen and eight episodes and are barely connected to any of it.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
