    Chachi and Joanie split up.

    Erin Moran has died at her home aged 56.

    Funnily enough, I had always confused her with one of the women in The Waltons for ages, but she only ever appeared in it once.

        Appeared in what once, The Waltons? I think you're confusing her with the character Erin, played by Mary Elizabeth McDonough. (And, yes, I had to look that up...)

        RIP, obviously. She was only a couple of years older than I am, ffs...

          Chachi and Joanie split up.

          She had a pleasant girl-next-door screen presence and matured with character she was playing. However, the person who thought that she and Baio could carry off a series by themselves must have been over-doing the white powder. Joanie Loves Chachi only ran for 17 episodes, whereas Happy Days ran for 243 and the other spin-off Mork and Mindy for 94.

          Cause of death as yet unknown but she might be another child star whose life was cut short by unnatural causes.

            Happy Days is great for trivia fans, in that it had the most spinoffs: Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, Joanie Loves Chachi, Blanski's Beauties and Out of The Blue. And, of course, HD itself was a spinoff (of sorts) from Love American Style.

            None of which has anything to do with her untimely, yet sadly predictable, death.

              Come now. Surely you learned something when writing volumes 1 and 2 of I, Walton. Some of your best non-mortality work...

                'Learned' as in 'Ms Michael Learned', who played Momma Walton?

                I knew that Mork once had a somewhat ill-advised cameo in Happy Days, but I had no idea that Mork and Mindy itself was some kind of spin-off from the show. (I mean, 'how'?)

                I think you're writing that book, sir.

                  I assume that Mork appeared around the same time as Fonzie was jumping the shark.

                      Laverne And Shirley ran for 178 episodes, apparently. I remember enjoying it as a kid, but not that much of it. In the UK, later series of US shows sometimes weren't picked up or got shunted to graveyard slots if they were.
