This was not Baio’s first claim to fame. He was already famous for playing Chachi on the sitcom “Happy Days” and the spin-off “Joanie Loves Chachi.” The latter was not a critical success like the former. However, since he was already well-known from that role, the network was hopeful that his star power would translate to a large audience wanting to tune-in for his newest sitcom each Wednesday. This was not the case in the first season.
