This article is about the real-life television program. For the show as seen in the Simpsons universe, see Happy Days.

Happy Days was a 1974-1984 American sitcom. It was tremendously popular, mostly thanks to the breakout character The Fonz (played by Henry Winkler). The series has been referenced several times on The Simpsons.

57 "The Otto Show" Homer is not eager about Otto Mann staying over and says: "This is not 'Happy Days' and he's not the Fonz." Whereupon Otto enters and greets Homer with the line: "Hey, Mr. S., in the way the Fonz would greet Mr. Cunningham.

Marge then told Homer that that was Happy Days.
