Boyer ?r i oievision writer LOS AN(*KLES (AIM ? Happy Days fans have probably noticed that the days are becoming less happy on that show. That is to say: The Happy Days crew is getting old. The innocent '50s have become the turbulent '60s. High school became college. And last week, Arnold's Drive-In burned down. It's not likely that the series, still strong in its seventh season, will become "Anxious Days." but what was once a light nostalgia trip to simpler times has become something else, something that is much more 1970s sitcom than 19f>0s 1 nostalgia. The demise of Arnold's last week as the symbolic end of what Happy Days was in its beginnings, but the changes have been occurring all along; their seeds were planted by creator Garry Marshall when Happy Davs began. "We promised the cast when we started that they would not have to remain the same," says Marshall. "We told them they wouldn't have to play sophomores in high school for 10 years. We've now taken them through four years of high school and three years of college. Their characters have grown with them." Yet, the most profound Happy Days change had nothing to do with time or age, but with the programming hunches of Fred Silverman, who was running things at ABC when Happy Days really took off. Silverman saw Henry Winkler's Fonzie, who 1 -I ? ucgdii da d accuuudi y midi iitter, as the show's promo attraction. He instigated a rearrangement of the show's structure that put Fonzie on center stage. Happy Days became "The Adventures of Fonzie." "Actually, it was a very soft show when we started," Marshall says. "Then, to make it competitive, changes were made to make it funnier, punchier ? that's when we brought Fonzie forward. Now, oddly enough, we've gone full circle. "Happy Days is a very special show. It's still hanging in there, and the audience is still there. I was delighted to see that this year. nn? c.wLa A - i? m.i_ ? 1 * i u iifcm 10 ue inu. i, you sometimes have to compromise. We haven't had to with Happy Days." It will end, though, probably next year. It's probably for the best; Richie, Pottsie, Fonzie and Ralph won't have to worry about the draft. j TiTiiilitoJiiHi. lifliMi ifitfniit M m^ni Carolina Coliseum Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium d Municipal Auditorium, Charleston .
