Howard Cunningham (Happy Days character)

Howard Cunningham is a fictional character played by Tom Bosley on the sitcom Happy Days & Harold Gould on the sitcom Love, American Style. He is the husband of Marion Cunningham, and the father of Chuck, Richie, and Joanie Cunningham. Originally, Gould was supposed to reprise his role on Happy Days as Howard Cunningham but wanted to commit to something else so Bosley was offered the part. Howard is the only one (the other being Fonzie) to appear in all 255 episodes of Happy Days and to remain with the rest of the cast for all 11 seasons.
