Three Happy Days stars recently reunited 40 years after the beloved sitcom ended, and fans are obsessed.

On November 30, Anson Williams, 76, who played Potsie Weber, posted a photo of himself smiling and posing with two former Happy Days costars. Standing in the middle was Henry Winkler, 80, who played Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli, and on the other side was Don Most, 72, who played Ralph Malph.

In the comments, fans of the sitcom rejoiced over the unexpected reunion. They shared plenty of references from the show while also pitching ideas for a potential new project.

“Let’s go to Arnold’s : ),” joked one fan, referring to the diner where the Happy Days characters often hung out.

Another Facebook user echoed, “Better get some of Arnold’s famous chicken 😂.”

A third fan joked, “Did the Fonze pull out a chair for you and say, ‘Sit on it, Potsie?'”

Others thought the photo would be perfection if Ron Howard, who played Richie Cunningham, were there.

“It would be the Fantastic Four if you had Ron Howard as well,” one Facebook user pointed out, as a second wondered, “Where’s Richie??? lol.”

Someone else echoed, “Just need Ron, four musketeers.”

Meanwhile, other fans shared ideas for an actual reunion or plot for a spinoff. One Facebook user suggested, “How about a Senior Happy Days special reunion movie.”

A second pitch declared, “Heist movie — they plan to steal Fonzie’s jacket from the Smithsonian. Hilarity ensues.”

Yet another Facebook user commented, “I would love to see a reunion show. They’re all married with kids and grandkids. Fonzie still has the leather jacket. Richie is still fighting with his parents. The Malachi brothers still wanna kick Ralph and Pozzi‘s a**. Oh, the amount of ideas lol.”

Happy Days aired for 11 seasons on ABC from 1974 to 1984. The sitcom sparked multiple spin-offs, including Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, Joanie Loves Chachi, and Blansky’s Beauties.
