Debuting to modest ratings in January 1974 after ABC green-lit it to series, ''Happy Days'' became a huge hit in its later years after the emphasis was shifted more to formerly supporting character Arthur "The Fonz/Fonzie" Fonzarelli (played by Henry Winkler); a greaser, former gang member, womanizer, and high school dropout who nonetheless became increasingly popular with the series' audience and became the main focus of the show after Howard's departure. The series spawned several spinoffs, including ''Laverne & Shirley'', ''Mork & Mindy'' (created as a vehicle for stand-up comedian [[Robin Williams]]), and the animated series ''The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang''.

|Based on a role-playing game based on ''Dungeons and Dragons'', this series tells of seven less-than-stellar travelers in the fantasy world of Tal Dorei who help people in more ways than one. On one hand, there is plenty of blood, gore, and violence in the series, as well as plenty of swearing. There are also several gay, lesbian, and bisexual relationships, including half-elf Vax and a gay shopkeeper named Gilmore (though he also has feelings for half-elf druid Kayleth). The good news is that this is used sparingly and is not a main part of the story. Scanlan the gnome bard is a promiscuous sex fiend willing to bed anyone, whether male or female. This gets him into trouble in the second season, where he's confronted by his long-lost daughter, who is furious with him for not remembering her mother.
On the other hand, family and friendship are portrayed positively for the most part. Goliath berserker Grog and gnome cleric Pike are best friends as well as adopted siblings; Pike's great-grandfather had accepted Grog into his family after he was beaten to near death by his evil uncle for sparing the gnome. While human gunslinger Percy is rightfully upset about the deaths of his family (soon finding that he has a surviving sister) at the hands of the Briarwoods and his family's former servants, he goes to rather extreme lengths to do so, which the others see as going too far. Heroism is also protrayed well, and while Scanlan wants to back off from heroism two times, he does willingly help his friends; in the first episode, he was even the first to suggest killing the dragon that ravaged an entire village.
