Fonz and the Happy Days Gang is an animated comedy series airing on ABC which was based on the hit sitcom Happy Days.

A girl from the future named Cupcake lands in Milwaukee with her spaceship/time machine in need of repair. Fonzie repairs it as only he can, and Cupcake takes him, Ralph Malph, Richie Cunningham and Fonzie's dog Mr. Cool, along for a ride, only to get bounced around from time period to time period, trying to get back to 1957 Milwaukee.

Fonzie would appear a year later on the debut of Laverne and Shirley in the Army (which Hanna-Barbera also made) and then become incorporated in the hour-long Mork and Mindy/Laverne and Shirley/Fonz in 1982.

The show's debut was delayed two months by a strike of union animators. The notion that Hanna-Barbera wanted to do an animated series of the BBC science fiction show Doctor Who but couldn't get the rights to do so with this show developed in its stead has since been dispelled (later on, a Doctor Who animated series was developed in Canada at the Toronto-based animation company Nelvana, with some production art of it issued-the show was to be focused on the Doctor and K9-but the show never went into production.)

Hanna-Barbera Productions produced the series in association with Paramount Television. Due to CBS Television Studios' (successor-in-interest to PTV) ownership of Happy Days, CBS Television Distribution is the show's distributor; therefore Warner Bros. cannot release the show on DVD as part of the Hanna-Barbera Collection.
