Catchy Comedy Celebrates 50th Anniversary of Happy Days with Special Marathon Event

Get ready for a trip down memory lane as Catchy Comedy celebrates the 50th anniversary of the beloved classic, Happy Days. In an exciting commemoration, the channel will be hosting a special marathon featuring 86 episodes of the iconic show, starting on Saturday, January 13 at 11:00 p.m. ET.

The marathon will kick off with the Cunningham family’s first appearance during a segment on Love, American Style, followed by the episode ‘All The Way.’ As the binge continues, viewers can look forward to a crossover episode with Laverne & Shirley, part two of the ‘Shotgun Wedding’ episodes, airing at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Concluding at 6:00 a.m. ET on Monday with ‘Fonzie’s Spots,’ the marathon promises a nostalgic journey for fans. Following the special event, Happy Days will assume its new weekday spot at 2:30 p.m. ET, nestled between Laverne & Shirley and Mama’s Family.

Originally starting as a segment on Love, American Style in 1972, Happy Days was later picked up by ABC for a full series in 1974. The show, set in the 1950s in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, became a cultural phenomenon, running for 11 seasons and spanning 225 episodes. What began as a moderate success soon skyrocketed to become the number one show, captivating audiences with its blend of lighthearted comedy and thought-provoking themes.

Starring Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Tom Bosley, and Mario Ross, the series not only entertained but also addressed important social issues such as racism and nuclear war. Additionally, it gave birth to several spinoff series, including Laverne & Shirley, Joanie Loves Chachi, Mork & Mindy, Blansky’s Beauties, and Out of the Blue.

So mark your calendars and join Catchy Comedy in celebrating the enduring legacy of Happy Days with this special marathon event!
