Premise

Henry Winkler (The Fonz/ "Fonzie"), Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham), and Donny Most (Ralph Malph) all reprised their respective roles for The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang.[3]

The series's "present day" is 1957. Each episode begins with an expository narration that Fonzie and his friends (including a new anthropomorphic dog named Mr. Cool) are visited by Cupcake, a girl from the future who pilots a malfunctioning time machine. After Fonzie repairs the machine to get her back to the 25th century, a subsequent accident causes the group to become missing in time.

The series focuses on Fonzie and his friends as they land in various periods in time, attempting to return to 1957 Milwaukee.[4] Twenty-four episodes were produced.
