* WhatCouldHaveBeen

* UrbanLegends: It's been long rumored that this show was meant to be an AnimatedAdaptation of ''Series/DoctorWho'', with the ''Happy Days'' characters shoehorned in when they couldn't get the license, and Cupcake and Mr. Cool acting as [[CaptainErsatz Captains Ersatz]] of the Doctor and K-9. [[http://www.cbr.com/tv-legends-revealed-was-doctor-who-replaced-in-a-cartoon-by-fonzie/ According to the show's developer Duane Poole]], that was never the case, and it was intended as a ''Happy Days'' spin-off from the start.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Following the series' cancellation, a spin-off that would have teamed animated Fonzie with [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Scooby and Scrappy-Doo]] was kicked around. Fonzie (and Mr. Cool) instead eventually wound up costarring in the second season of ''Laverne and Shirley in the Army'', an animated adaptation of ''Happy Days'' spin-off ''Series/LaverneAndShirley''.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Had Creator/HannaBarbera been able to get the rights from the BBC, this series wouldn't have been based on Series/HappyDays. It would have been an AnimatedAdaptation of ''Series/DoctorWho''. While a lot of ''Doctor Who'' fans would cream themselves over the idea of an American cartoon adaptation of the show, a Hanna-Barbera cartoon may not be what they had in mind.

It would have been an AnimatedAdaptation of ''Series/DoctorWho''. While a lot of ''Doctor Who'' fans would cream themselves over the idea of an American cartoon adaptation of the show, a Hanna Barbera cartoon may not be what they had in mind. In truth Happy Days had already peaked but given the show managed to get renewed once and these cheap cash in toons in total managed to get booked for three seasons, makes one wonder just what Hanna Barbera Doctor Who could have done. The company may not have been in a Tardis, but a lot of their characters could probably trade stories with the Doctor of all the strange places they've been over the years.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, and Donny Most simply reprised their roles from Series/HappyDays. Mr. Cool the dog was by Creator/FrankWelker (who mostly does animal noises and other vocal effects and only voices one human character -- [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Fred Jones]]).
** Cupcake was voiced by Didi Conn (a.k.a [[RaggedyAnnAndAndyAMusicalAdventure Raggedy Ann]], [[Film/{{Grease}} Frenchy/Frenchie]], [[Series/{{Benson}} Denise Stevens Downey]], and [[ShiningTimeStation Stacy, the ticket lady]]).

[[FridgeHorror If this was the worst they did with Happy Days -- a sitcom that had already peaked before the cartoon came out, who knows what the Doctor Who adaptation would have been like]]. It would have most likely been a FranchiseKiller.
