[[WMG: Fonzie wiped out the first two seasons and chuck from the timeline]]
In Fonzie and the happy days gang, the fonz has a time machine. He went back and somehow changed the timeline, this is why the show was so different in the first two seasons (like the house and the personalities of the characters), and also why chuck doesn't exist after Season 2.

[[WMG: Chuck was drafted…]]

…by the Washington Generals. The shame of their son playing for a team that
is routinely humiliated by the Harlem Globetrotters causes the Cunninghams untold shame.

\n** The Korean War ended in 1953. Chuck would have to be one of the early "advisors" in Vietnam. The clandestine nature of his work meant that the Cunninghams had to disavow all knowledge of him.

Chuck got drafted and was killed in Korea. When Chuck was wounded he was transported to the 4077th Franchise/MASH near Uijongbu. Unfortunately, despite the heroic efforts of Dr. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce, Private Cunningham succumbed to his wounds. It would be the first of many such casualties which would haunt Pierce for the rest of his life.

The old house brought back too many memories so the Cunninghams moved, explaining how the layout of the house changed. Speaking of Chuck was also painful which is why he was never brought up. To make up the mortgage payment the Cunninghams took in Fonzie as a lodger.

[[WMG: Chuck was a Communist]]
And disowned by the Cunninghams. That's why Howard says he only has 2 children in the finale. It was the middle of the Red Scare, after all.

Obviously it can be explained because of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, but L & S both seemed tougher, more violent, and more...trampish (for lack of a better word) in their first appearance than they would be established as in their own series (and later appearances on ''Happy Days''). Shirley, especially, seems more hardened than the PluckyGirl she'd become. However, consider that we're seeing this from the perspective of clean-cut, middle-class, [[AllAmerican Boy TheAllAmericanBoy]] Richie. He's barely interacted with anyone more rough than Fonzie, and he's on a blind date with a girl a few years older than him from the other side of the tracks. It's entirely possible that in his nervousness he saw Shirley (and Laverne, to a lesser degree) as being more worldly and rough than she really was. Later crossovers have these aspects of her character toned down, as Richie was already familiar with her and therefore less intimidated.

\n** Maybe it was in the Cunninghams' dining room. That disappeared around the same time as him, and he is a BigEater, so he has a reason to be in there.

[[WMG: [[Series/LaverneAndShirley]] weren't actually as street-tough as they seemed in "A Date With Fonzie" - we're just seeing them through Richie's eyes.]]

\n*** No, because Fonzie is a Time Lord himself - as shown in the animated spinoff where he operates a time machine with a female companion and a dog.
