The TV show “Happy Days” predates the movie “American Graffiti.”

Love that song. “Green Onions” by Booker T. and the MG’s. The next track on the album is called “Mo Onions”. Excellent film.

Several got a start in the movie...Harrison Ford
Richard Dreyfuss
of course Ron Howard had been around
Suzanne Somers in the T-bird.
Boy its been a long time. I hope I got the names right...ha ha
Wolfman Jack was actually on the radio on a huge station that boomed out of Mexico and at night could be picked up most anywhere.

True. It’s actually a spin-off of “Love, American Style.”

Happy Days is an American television sitcom that aired first-run from January 15, 1974
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Days

American Graffiti premiered on August 2, 1973

Any more words of wisdom?
