Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who are Richie's parents?

Answer: Howard and Marion

Richie's parents are Howard and Marion Cunningham, played by Tom Bosley and Marion Ross. Marion is a common housewife of the '50s, and Howard owns and runs a hardware store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
2. Who becomes Richie's brother-in-law on the very last episode of "Happy Days"?

Answer: Chachi Arcola

Chachi Arcola, played by Scott Baio, marries Joanie, Richie's younger sister (played by Erin Moran). His mother is Louisa Arcola, who marries Al Delvecchio. He is also Fonzie's cousin.
3. Richie DOESN'T come home in the double episode "Welcome Home".

Answer: false

Richie, Lori Beth (his wife), Richie, Jr. (his son), and Ralph come home from the Army base in Greenland, where Richie and Ralph have been stationed for several years. By the end of the episode, Ralph (played by Don Most), decides to move away to be an optometrist, and Richie decides to move his family to California to become a screen writer in Hollywood.
4. What sport do Richie and his friends play a lot in the first episode?

Answer: baseball

He plays baseball with Potsie (played by Anson Williams) and Ralph (who really wasn't one of his best friends at this time).
5. What actor plays Richie?

Answer: Ron Howard

Ron Howard, who was a star in the 1973 film "American Graffiti", was recommended by several people to be cast in a new sitcom about the 1950's. Obviously, it became a success, and it definitely helped Howard's career.
6. Where did Richie attend high school and college?

Answer: Jefferson High School and University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee

Both of these schools are in Milwaukee, so Richie didn't have to go far away from home. He went to school with all of his best friends, including Ralph, Potsie, Fonzie (just high school), and his girlfriend/future wife Lori Beth (just college).
7. What does Richie have a lot of in his room at the Cunningham house?

Answer: signs

Richie has lots of miscellaneous signs hanging up all over his room. His brother Chuck has lots of Boston Celtics (basketball) stuff in his room, and his sister Joanie has movie stars including Elvis Presley in her room.
8. Has Richie ever worn a dress in public?

Answer: yes

In one of the early episodes, Richie and Potsie have to complete the "Six Deadly Dares" in order to become a member of a popular gang at school. The final dare is to dress as a girl and go to the school dance. Richie and Potsie dress as girls, and the "disguise" themselves so well that Fonzie dances with Richie and Ralph dances with Potsie.
9. What was one of Richie's favorite TV shows when he was young?

Answer: Howdy Doody

Richie has a set of 'Howdy Doody' lamps in his room, depicting Howdy Doody and Clarabelle. His mother also mentions Howdy Doody several times throughout the show.
10. Who stands in for Richie (the groom) during his wedding?

Answer: Fonzie

Richie marries Lori Beth over the phone. He is in the Army in Greenland, and she wants to join him up there to marry him, but they won't let her on the base unless she is already married. So Fonzie kindly stands in for Richie, and they have a wonderful wedding in the Cunninghams' home. Lori Beth eventually joins Richie in Greenland, and she comes home a while later pregnant with Richie, Jr., whom she has in Milwaukee with Fonzie standing in as "assistant".
