Happy Days (1974-1984)





1950's nostalgia with Richie, Fonzie and the gang.  Happy Days ran an impressive eleven seasons and had several spin-offs.  The infamous episode where Fonzie water skis and jumps over a contained shark is where the appropriately phrased "jumping the shark" originated, that moment when a series falls into decline.  Despite that episode, Happy Days still ran another six seasons.

Address: 565 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, CA

Here's Hollywood magic for you: Looking at this house, you'd think it's somewhere in flyover country.  In reality, it's off a seedy section of Melrose Avenue where a check cashing place stood on the corner.

  1. What about Arnolds? The exterior of Fonzie's Garage? The Old Simpson House??

    1. Arnolds was in Burbank before it was torn down. Not sure about the others.
