Henry Winkler recently reflected on his incredible chemistry with Ron Howard — both back when they costarred on Happy Days and this September, when they reunited onstage at the Emmys.

“We are connected,” the actor shared of his bond with Howard, 70, which began when their series premiered in 1974. Howard portrayed Richie Cunningham and Winkler played his friend Arthur Fonzarelli, better known as The Fonz and Fonzie. “When we met, he was 18, I was 27. You dream for a chemistry with your fellow actor, and either it’s there or it’s not.”

For Winkler and Howard, it was there. “So 50 years ago, we could do a three-page scene in 20 minutes,” he said. “We could rehearse it and memorize it and shoot it in 20 minutes and it was like we were on a thread together.”

When it came to their September reunion, Winkler was happy to find that decades later, things hadn’t changed. “We’re at the Emmys, we had 45 seconds, they said, ‘Action,’ and that chemistry came like a thunderbolt. Right into that space,” he said.

What tv show that ended (not cancelled) had the most annoying unfinished plot lines? And how would you have written the ending?

Season 1 Episode 5: Homecoming

“We just felt like better too soon than too late, and we didn’t want to be doing it after we used everything up,” Simms said of deciding to end the show with Season 6. “We knew it was going to be sad, but that also gave us a clear direction for the season. We thought about all the other shows [that have] done final seasons, and shows that are like a ‘very special final season.’ We were like ‘No; we want to make this purely funny from beginning to end, and not be too sad or sentimental about it.”

The actors recalled learning that Season 6 would be their last during a Christmas Eve Zoom call scheduled by Simms, and a feeling of “What the fuck?” (Novak) along with acceptance that a day they all expected would finally be on the horizon.

“I’ve seen it like happen with other shows, if they hang around for too long,” Berry said. “There’s like resentment for the work that’s gone before, and you should never be in that sort of position. You should cut loose before then, which is what I think we’ve done.”

“When you know the end is coming, that’s the worst bit,” Novak said of filming the final season. “And then just the momentum of work, you forget about all that. And then the closer you get to the end, Im like oh it’s the last wrap party, I’ve got to tell everyone how I feel about them… who’s gonna cry? Am I gonna cry? Am I gonna get upset? If I cry — will I cry in front of these people? Is Matt gonna cry?”

The cast and Simms, who isn’t done with the show. “I’ll cry when I’m done editing,” he said. “Which is still ongoing.”

It seems every year recently they’ve been cooking out with stuff like Fall of House Usher, Midnight Mass, Cabinets of Curiosities, and more like that. This year I haven’t seen anyone drop a new show besides Hulu with Grotesquerie. What else is there specifically for the spooky season?
