Surprising Stories from the Set of Happy Days

Years after Happy Days became a hit, Garry Marshall’s adult children were given a fun perk: they could visit the Happy Days set anytime. But there was one firm rule — no visits to the Laverne & Shirley set. At first, that probably sounded mysterious… maybe even a little unfair.

The reason turned out to be simple. The Happy Days cast famously got along well, creating a warm, easygoing atmosphere behind the scenes. Over on Laverne & Shirley, though, tensions reportedly ran high, with frequent fights and shouted profanities. One set felt like the Cunningham household. The other? Not so much.
