How Well Do You Remember ‘Happy Days’ Richie Cunningham?
Although Happy Days was technically an ensemble show, there were a few undeniable stars in the cast — and one of them was certainly Richie Cunningham, portrayed by Ron Howard. The prototypical all-American boy, Richie felt like a continuation of Howard’s earlier role as Opie on The Andy Griffith Show — only now, instead of capering wholesomely around early 1960s rural North Carolina, he was a teen trying to meet girls, survive high school life, and consume a near-infinite amount of burgers Arnold’s Drive-In in 1950s Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

But how well do you remember what happened to the flame-haired teen? Read on to find out if you’re a walking Richie-pedia.
