TV.com summary

The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera in association with Paramount Television and originally broadcast from November 8, 1980, until September 18, 1982.

Henry Winkler as The Fonz, Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham, and Donny Most as Ralph Malph all supplied their voices to this animated version of the hit ABC-TV series, Happy Days.

The cartoon added a dog, Mr. Cool (Frank Welker), and a girl from the future, Cupcake (Didi Conn), to the cast as they travel through history in a time machine, trying, as narrator Wolfman Jack put it, “...to get back to 1957 Milwaukee,” placing the temporal abduction sometime in late Season 2 or early Season 3 of the live-action series.

Twenty-four episodes were produced. After the series ended, Henry Winkler as the Fonz and his sidekick dog, Mr. Cool joined the Army and were added to the cast of the animated Laverne and Shirley in the Army which premiered on October 10, 1981. The show was later renamed Laverne and Shirley with the Fonz and had the Fonz working in the motorpool as the chief mechanic. That series ran until September 3, 1983.
