all in the family
"happy days" originated during a time of 1950s nostalgic interest as evident in 1970s film, television, and music. in late winter of 1971, michael eisner was snowed in at newark airport where he bumped into tom miller, head of development at paramount. eisner has stated that he told miller, "tom, this is ridiculous. we're wasting our time here. let's write a show." the script treatment that came out of that did not sell. but in spite of the market research department telling them that the 50's theme would not work, they decided to redo it, and this was accepted as a pilot. this unsold pilot was filmed in late 1971 and titled "new family in town," with harold gould in the role of howard cunningham, marion ross as marion, ron howard as richie, anson williams as potsie, ric carrott as charles "chuck" cunningham, and susan neher as joanie. paramount passed on making it into a weekly series, and the pilot was recycled with the title "love and the television set" (later retitled "love and the happy days" for syndication), for presentation on the television anthology series "love, american style." also in 1971, the musical grease had a successful opening in chicago, and by the following year became successful on broadway. also in 1972, george lucas asked to view the pilot to determine if ron howard would be suitable to play a teenager in "american graffiti," then in pre-production. lucas immediately cast howard in the film, which became one of the top-grossing films of 1973. with the movie's success generating a renewed interest in the 50's era, (although, the film was set in 1962) tv show creator garry marshall and abc recast the unsold pilot to turn "happy days" into a series. according to marshall in an interview, executive producer tom miller said while developing the sitcom, "if we do a tv series that takes place in another era, and when it goes into reruns, then it won't look old." this made sense to marshall while on the set of the show.
