I think she’s the first companion - I met in the spirit world.

Over the years I have found that actors who are great friends for real life have the best chemistry onscreen. You can't manufacture that kind of chemistry. It's just natural. The physicality. The effortless comfortability they have around each other. The fire chemistry. These couples are James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Lenz from One Tree Hill who were great friends for real and are still close to this day. They've been to many comic cons and the chemistry is still on full display at these events (Nathan and Haley), Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes from Dawson's Creek dated for real life and remained friends even after breakup. Josh said that Katie was his closest friend on set (Pacey and Joey), Jaleel White and Kellie Shanygne Williams from Family Matters were friends onset and Kellie recently said how she had a crush on Jaleel. They recently were reunited in an interview and their chemistry is still fire (Steve and Laura), Tom Welling and Erica Durance from Smallville were great friends. I love to hear Tom talk about Erica because there's clearly so much respect and love between them. They really loved to work with each other (Clark and Lois), Kennedy McMann and Alex Saxon from Nancy Drew are great friends. I don't know much else about their relationship. I just know that Kennedy has said they are close friends and also Kennedy is a big supporter of the Nace ship. I've also heard of little improvs and story ideas that they came up with for Nace so they clearly are very simpatico (Nancy and Ace), Erin Moran and Scott Baio from Happy Days dated on and off through the years (Chachi and Joanie), Rachel Brosnahan and Luke Kirby from The Marvelous Mrs Maisel are amazing friends. And this is another situation of two actors who really support each other and have a huge amount of respect for each other (Midge and Lenny) what all these couples have in common is that they are friends and/or romantically involved. One or both of the actors in each ship are major supporters or shippers of their characters together, they all have had amazing chemistry all through the years even after the shows ended, they all respect each other as actors and each other's talents, they all have fire chemistry that remained strong through the entire run of the shows, and insane physicality where they are so comfortable with each other and and great at adding little physical intimacies to their fictional relationships.

Some chemistry you can sort of manufacture. You can create the long looks, the stolen glances, the yearning, the jealousy. But then there's the upper echelon of TV couples that just have it all. They have all these things but the chemistry endures past the yearning stage 💖

Then there are some couples who maybe weren't overly close. They either hated each other or just got along but weren't super close and those couples mostly have that manufactured chemistry and I'm not saying that it doesn't take talent to do that. It takes acting talent and some of it is genuine. Also this chemistry is not bad. I love the long looks and the stolen glances but these types of couples need long ass slowburns because some of that naturally goes away when they get together like the yearning and stolen glances for instance. They don't have those crutches to fall back on and all they have is that little bit of genuine chemistry. I do wanna clarify that I have always hated when writers make couples on and off unnecessarily. Give them the slowburn but keep them together once they get together you cowards lol

There are other couples with insane chemistry who are close for real life but I had to end this post sometime but they exist and those are special ships to be sure! 💗

In real-life, Ellen has remained close with Rena Sofer, since the very first time they worked together. In story, Gloria Cerullo was not happy with Lois’ choice of a musician boyfriend. How will she feel if she sees that “Eddie Maine” is back in Lois life in some capacity in 2023?

TV and film audiences also know Travolta well from her roles on Happy Days, Joanie Loves Chachi and in the movie Grease where she appeared alongside her brother, John Travolta.

I have to speak my truth. Will’s sexual awakening would not be River Phoenix. He looks waaaaaayyy too much like Jonathan.

Unfortunately, I am convinced Will would be into Scott Baio, who, in 1983 starred in the Happy Days spinoff Joanie Loves Chachi and was attempting to be a musician, and in 84 starred in Charles in Charge. Poor Will, watching horrendous tv and not understanding why it’s so compelling, until suddenly you put two and two together and get gay.

Mike would secretly like River Phoenix though until 1994 roles around and James Spader plays Daniel Jackson in Stargate. He’d be like “why do I have cuteness aggression about this guy who played jerks all through my teen years”

Hey,

it's a bit of a wild guess, but: 🎉 Happy birthday 🎂

If I'm right, don't worry, I'm not a stalker, it's just that I noticed your name (the previous one) when we first interacted, and then I went to your blog and saw your "bio", and, well, look at both of mine :-)

Hi There! I'm so sorry, I'm just now seeing this. I'm logged in on my MacBook today and this ask did not show on my mobile app for some reason, have to look into that!

But at any rate, thank you! Although, my bday is actually April 16, so I had used 1677 as numbers for my handle to represent the month and year. But looking at yours now, I can see the connection! Love it!

Genie is a nickname of mine for ages, courtesy of my hubby and I never know what to use when making up a handle or username so I first went with Genie1677. But recently, since I'm in my 40's and old enough to remember, the 80's show "Joanie Loves Chachi" randomly popped into my head for some reason and I thought of "Genie Loves Larry" being a funny handle to use since I do love those two so stinking much, haha!

Anyway, this is my first "ask" or message so thanks for that and for the birthday wish! Appreciate both so much, friend!

Ok, a few things:

1. Polite IS cool…

2. Fonzie loves his teeth, and his teeth love him.

3. Where does Fonzie keep an extra toothbrush in his tight jeans?

4. Why isn’t he brushing at home, instead of in a dirty public restroom like Arnold’s?

5. Why are they enjoying it so much? The screaming of it all… I must be missing something when I brush…

6. They both look like they are the last people in the world who would be having a discussion like this.

7. How do they know each other anyway?

8. Arthur is Fonzie’s real name, so shouldn’t they call him “Arty”?

9. When Fonzie was a baby, do you think he had the same “cool guy affect” like he did in the show? Ayyyy…. (Two tiny thumbs up)

10. Why isn’t there a “grandma fonzie” on the show?

11. Why was it normal to have a Martian from Ork come down and ingratiate himself into their lives?

12. Also, piggybacking off that last question, why was the Mork Martian speaking English, and able to nanuuu nanuu to them, and they didn’t really bat an eyelash. I mean, Richie was the most accepting, even tempered person. If I were to have run into Mork in my home, I would’ve probably not have trusted him because he was a man in a shiny space suit that came into my living room uninvited and talked too fast… Also, I think he hatched out of an egg…

13. Why did Fonzie jump a shark?

14. There were a few Al’s on the show. Were they biological brothers? Because what are the odds of having a couple of owners of Arnold’s named Al? And if so, why were both of the brothers named Al? Why weren’t they Arnold’s?! Or was it like George foreman’s family, where they’re all named George but except they’re Al’s? And why was one Japanese?

I probably have more questions that I may or may not pose here later, we’ll see… because the whole Laverne and Shirley thing, and how they wanted people to think that “Carmine”, the dancing crooner busboy at Laverne’s father’s bowling alley, was a heart throb, because to me, he was entirely too jazz hands-y and way too needy. When you can’t go two minutes without tap dancing, singing to people who clearly aren’t into it, doing cartwheels and round off flip flops trying to get into a show, any show, that’s too much for me. Get another outlet for that business, ok? Why didn’t he take up a hobby? Something cool, like fire swallowing?

George Carlin: um, Kari?

Kari: No.

Kari (cont.): It’s like, “Listen, Carmine, I don’t own a theater, nor do I have any ties to Hollywood. Why don’t you go shuffle off to Buffalo and take a connecting flight to someone who cares!”

Carlin: oh shit….

Kari: Or how about how Fonzie controlled inanimate objects and simple minded people with his snapping?! Yes to that! And what about the whole Joanie and chachi thing… Because did you know that they had to change his name in Korea cause chachi meant the chach area down there in the men’s Netherlands region?

And did you also know that I call it “chachies” when I have to quickly use the restroom after eating some fried, greasy, extremely spicy food, or something riddled with lactose. So, for example I’ll yell from the potty to anyone in the house within earshot, “I got the chachies!!!!”

Regardless of those unanswered questions, I liked that show, because although it was slow paced and slightly uneventful some of the time other than the shark, they sure brought the younger me some childhood “happy days”. 🤷‍♀️🙌🤣

Carlin: you done?

Kari: not sure yet… ok. Now I’m done.

Gary Marshall: hi, I’m Gary Marshall. I wrote this crap, or, as kari would say, this “chachies” of a show.

Kari: No! I liked the show, Gar… it was a staple of my childhood. It’s just that “Chachi” happened to be an unfortunate choice in names, that’s all…

Gary Marshall: See?! She’s not mean, she’s only discussing the characters, not the actors… And I didn’t know from Chachi when I wrote it.

Kari: well, now you do. And naming one of your characters after a peep is not ok to the Korean people.

Richard Pryor: Tell me about it. Try going through life being called “Dick”.

Kari: No! I call you, “Richard head, the eighth!”

Richard Pryor: you mean there were 7 other dicks that had the same name before me?!

Kari (to Richard) Yes. (to Gary Marshall): And Gary, the show is not crap. It made a lot of people happy. And nothing made with love, is crap!

Gary Marshall: thank you, Kari. At least I didn’t write a sitcom called, “chachi has chachies”.

Kari: yeah! Cause no….

Gary Marshall: she’s a good kid. Crazy, but good.

Scene.

Do you like my Fonzie painting I just got last weekend? Bruh! I fell out!

there's a graffiti wall near my house that is updated pretty regularly but you can tell people will wait a while before covering something up with their own art, seems like at least a couple of weeks.

so a while ago a new piece goes up and it's detailed and gorgeous, i forget what it was (people are usually putting like either pop culture stuff or some text all cool, you know how they do it), but literally a day or so later someone had come by and put JOANIE ❤️S CHACHIE (those weren't the names but i can't remember what they were now) over it, pink text inside a big white box and you could tell these people had never used a can of spray paint before, it looked SO bad and like

i am not a graffito but i was PISSED. i was pissed for the person who'd put all that work in days before just to have it partially covered by some stupid ass declaration of love. i was pissed that what covered it looked terrible, like not even fully thought out. i was pissed that my beloved wall was now UGLY

anyway that's it for that story.

When people graffiti on buildings: Yes! Ha ha! Fuck yes!

When people graffiti on rockfaces and cliffsides on hiking trails: What the absolute fuck.

SHE'S SO POPULAR: "I was the social butterfly. The only reason I went to school was because all my friends were going. I didn't go to learn. I only went because I had cheerleading practice and drama club."

BUS STOP: "Those were the good old days, riding on the bus with the basketball or the football team. Going to away games, listening to Journey's Escape or Foreigner on our boom boxes."

GOT THE LOOK: "Guess jeans were really big, as were Gloria Vanderbilt and Calvin Klein, the designer jeans. I was only allowed to have one pair of those. My look was Guess jeans, pink Reebok tennis shoes, IZOD shirts with the collar flipped up and Vuarnet sunglasses. Oh! and legwarmers too."

Cheer She Is: "I got to spend Fridays in my little cute cheerleading uniform and everybody else was stuck in their Catholic uniforms." Also pictured: Friend Carolyn

I LOVE THE NIGHT LIFE: "I used to sneak out of the house with my girlfriends when I was a senior in high school and we'd go into San Francisco to the underground new wave clubs. Never got caught."

PURPLE HAZE: "I had purple hair at one point. Cellophanes were really big in the eighties. When they put it on my hair, my hair was so absorbant that it just sort of turned this burgandy/purpleish shade and I was known in high school as the girl with the purple hair. It's even in our yearbook."

CRUSH ON YOU: "When I was a kid, it was Donny Osmond. In high school, it was Scott Baio, baby, the JOANIE LOVES CHACHI years and Rob Lowe from St. Elmo's Fire. The best. In St. Elmo's fire, Demi Moore played a character called Jules and ever since that movie, I wanted people to call me Jules 'cause I thought she was so cool."

Three Time A Lady: "I wore the same dress to all three of the proms I went to. It was by Gunne Sax and had white gloves, too!"

LOVE BITES: "My biggest heartbreak was when I asked someone to the senior prom and they turned me down and he was an underclassman too. Idiot! But I ended up going to three proms."
