Did You Know?
| Trivia | Although Fonzie loved motorcycles, Henry Winkler was terrified of them. Most of the scenes of Fonzie riding the motorcycle were shot with the bike attached to a platform, and being pulled by a truck. See more » |
| Goofs | The changing of the interior of the house after the second season messed up the scheme of the house. From exterior shots the driveway/garage of the Cunningham house was to the right of the front door, while from the interior sets the garage was still to the right of the front door (i.e. it would be on the left as viewed from outside).

| Movie Connections | Edited into Weezer: Buddy Holly (1994). See more » |
| Crazy Credits | Being a breakout character, Winkler starts off by only being credited on the closing title sequence; then fourth in season 2; second in season 3-7; finally, top-billing from season 8 onward! See more » |
