OK, maybe I am nuts, but when we were watching the Happy Days reunion show, I thought it was unusual that there was no mention of Richie Cunningham's older brother. He only existed during the first few episodes, and then he "went away to college". But he existed, I tell you! (insert Howard Dean audio clip here). Then, he went away, never to be heard from again. He was a basketball player. He was tall, and didn't get much "face time" when he was on screen. (Like his head was above the camera range).
Am I nuts, or does anyone else remember this forgotten character that did not survive in any re-runs?

Did you watch the whole show? They brought BOTH "Chucks" on toward the later portion of the show.

Yes, you're right. I read that they thought the character was unnecessary so he was just sent off to the cornfield, never to be seen or heard from again.

Yes! Chuck! He did exist! I knew I was right! I'm not losing my mind after all! Well, I don't know if that last statement is accurate, but at least I am not the only one who remembers this character existed.

No, I am old enough to remember watching Happy Days when it was first aired, so in true geezer mode I went to bed before it was over.

I think he hooked up with Laverne DeFazio and caught VD and went insane. (At least thats my explanation)

Chuck does not exist. Chuck never existed. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

From Twilight Zone, with Billy Mumy. I watched that one when it first aired, too. Although I was just a small child, then.

I knew Winston Smith. Winston Smith was a friend of mine. You are no..... Oh..... Yes, you are correct. Eastasia is not our friend. Big Brother is watching....

The chocolate ration is being raised to 25 grams! Hooray for BB! I was just imagining that it had been lowered from 30 grams last week.

He had won the final victory over himself. He loved Cuddly, Non-Threatening Fonzie.

Chuck ran off to San Francisco to be with Adam Cartwright where he eventually had a sex change operation.
To: chindog
He was killed in Vietnam, like the Beaver.
