WordWolf Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 "Laverne and Shirley" What OTHER show was a spin-off of "Happy Days"? George Well, "Mork & Mindy's" Mork was INTRODUCED in "Happy Days", and Fonzie appears in the series pilot, but I don't think of that as a "spin-off." So, I'd go with "Joanie Loves Chachi." {Off-topic, Until the other day, I confused Van Johnson-the dancer who appeared on "I Love Lucy" for an episode- with Van Williams- who played Britt Reid/the Green Hornet.)
