Synopsis

The series followed the exploits of Joanie and Chachi as they moved to Chicago and tried to make it on their own with a rock band and a music career. Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. It mixed the traditional elements of a sitcom with musical performances on each show by Baio and Moran. In fact, the beginning credit sequence of the show had them singing to each other. Their backup band consists of a spaced-out drummer named Bingo and Chachi's blase cousins Mario and Annette.

The series also starred Ellen Travolta as Louisa Delvecchio, Chachi's mother, and Al Molinaro as Al Delvecchio, Chachi's stepfather (and formerly the owner of Arnold's Drive-In in Happy Days), who opened a restaurant in which Chachi and Joanie performed most of their music. Ellen Travolta (born October 6, 1940 in Englewood New Jersey) is an American actress the eldest Sibling of John Travolta Al Molinaro (born June 24, 1919) is an actor in television and films most notably as Al Delvecchio, the owner of Arnold's on Happy Days Art Metrano played Chachi's uncle Rico Mastorelli, who was the band's manager and helped Joanie and Chachi advance in their careers. Arthur "Art" Metrano (born September 22, 1936) is an American Actor of Greek-Jewish-Italian ancestry Actress Winifred Freedman played Rico's daughter, Annette, Chachi's cousin, and bandmate. Winifred Freedman (born in Granite City Illinois) is an American actress and singer primarily known for her roles in television After the show's cancellation, Ms. Freedman would go on to play boarding school student Patty DuPunt Krauss on the short-lived syndicated soap opera, Rituals. Rituals is an American Soap opera that aired in syndication from September 10 1984 to September 6 1985

Cancellation

The format didn't click with viewers, and the series only lasted for two seasons (the first one being abbreviated) before the characters were rolled back into Happy Days for that program's final season.

Misconceptions

It is not true that the program was the highest-rated show in Korea for a time because "Chachi" is the Korean word for penis . However both series creator Garry Marshall and series star Scott Baio have propagated the myth. Garry Kent Marshall Scott Vincent James Baio (born September 22, 1961) is an American Actor, best known for his work on the Sitcoms Happy Days [1]
