You're Such a Potsie

Just watched some Happy Days last night. And this morning I pulled out a Match Game 74 tape and it was on an episode with Anson Williams.

Anson is best known for his role as Warren Weber, better known as Potsie. He was with the show from the beginning. At first he was the best buddy of Richie Cunningham played by Ron Howard. They did everything together. In the second season Ralph Maplph (played by Donny Most) who was a kewl guy in the first two seasons, was seen with them, an whimped out over time. Those 3 firmed a band (with 3 drummers) and Performed at Arnold's Drive in.

In 1980 during the 8th season, Richie and Ralph left the series, and Potsie stayed, but appeared less and less. In 1983, Richie and Ralph returned for one episode. It was nice to see the gang together again. He did not appear in the finale.

I've never seen him on other TV series, but he did 2 weeks of Match Gane in 1974 and 1977. Anson is still with us to this day.
