Rodger should’ve been Chuck. They could’ve started the episode with some old show clips mentioning or showing the old-Chuck and then bring in Rodger!

“Welcome Home Rodger”??

Rodger Philips should have been Chuck Cunningham. Happy Days could’ve played a couple of old episodes right before they introduced Chuck again, they could’ve played one episode with the first Chuck and then another episode with second Chuck and then bring in the third Chuck. It would’ve been a perfect 360!

A show about Jenny Picallo. The fact that she was only talked about for the longest time led me to believe she was to actually in the show but they couldn’t figure out who to play her.

A show about Wendy and Marsha from Arnold’s would have been nice. Wonder if that was discussed before the concept of Laverne and Shirley? Or and origin story of Arnold himself. If he faced any descrimination as foreign and people of color were not regarded as the same back then. Those could work today as long as they connected right to the original. Just a thought.

Roger Phillips should have been Chuck Cunningham when he came to Happy Days. Why introduce a nephew nobody knows? The audience would of figured it out, they could’ve showed some old episodes mentioning Chuck and then bring in Roger Phillips.

Cunningham Neil J. Schwartz as
Bag Zombroski Barry Greenberg as
Moose Denis Mandel as.Eugene
Belvin Scott Bernstein as Melvin
Belvin Danny Butch as Spike Hillary
Horan as Daphne and Harris Kal as
Bobby Melner.
The Happy Days Reunion Movie called.Whatever Hsppened To Chuck Cunningham could be dedicated to Gavan O’Herlihy the
First Actor to play Chuck Cunningham who passed away in
2021 and to the memory of Tom
Bosley Erin Moran AL Molinaro
Pat Morita Beatrice Colen and Ed
Peck.
Also Misty Rowe played Wendy on
Happy Days and Tita Bell played

Ted McGinley cast as a Returned Chuck Cunningham
Was a wonderful idea and it
Made a lot more sense than
having Ted McGinley play
Roger Phillips.
Heck Randolph Roberts could
have returned to Happy Days
As Chuck Cunningham and Chuck Cunningham.could have
Been an assistant basketball coach to head coach Roger Phillips Ted McGinley.
Also why didn’t the producers of Happy Days keep Bag Zombroski (Neil J Schwartz) on
Happy Days?
Bag was a member of the Demons Club and BAG was always playing Practical Jokes on Richie Potsie and Ralph and
Bag played the drums in Richie’s band.
The character of BAG Disappeared from Happy Days with no explanation after the
Season 4 episode The Book of
Records and Bag Zombroski Neil J Schwartz was very similar to the character of Wally Plumstead Skip Young on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and Wally liked to play practical jokes on David and Rick Nelson.
So Bag Zombroski Disappeared from Happy Days with no explanation just like Chuck Cunningham.
Other characters who vanished into thin air besides Chuck Cunningham and Bag Zombroski were MOOSE played
By BARRY GREENBERG and Eugene Belvin Denis Mandel and Melvin Belvin Scott Bernstein.

If Ritchie did any time in military service, he probably was stationed at the same camp Gomer Pyle was.

If I had to guess (assuming they even considered bringing back Chuck), maybe the thought so much time had passed without Chuck that the audience may have forgotten about him, and would therefore look at it as retconning in an older brother that hadn’t been mentioned before? (Obviously, that wouldn’t be true, but I could well imagine that’s how a lot of the audience would view it, especially if they had never seen the early episodes. Maybe if the show had at least mentioned Chuck every now and then, it would have been easier to pull off.) (But then, I have no idea if the idea of Chuck returning even occurred to anyone.)

In reply to John B Trumbull.

He and Ralph were out of the military by the time the war started in earnest, how often were guys called back in serve in Vietnam? And I wonder if Chachi would have been drafted.
