Teen idol Scott Baio starred in this short-lived spin-off
from Happy Days, which saw Fonzie's young cousin Chachi
move to Chicago, with his mother, Louisa, and stepfather,
Al, and try to start a singing career. With him were best girl
Joanie, who shared the vocals, and his backup band: a
spaced-out drummer named Bingo, a chubby cousin named
Annette, and another cousin, Mario. Mario and Annette's
father, Uncle Rico, was their agent. Joanie and Chachi sang
several numbers in each episode, usually at Al and Louisa's
newly oepned restaurant. Though there were new songs
introduced in each episode, and Chachi had girls in the
audience swooning, neither the songs nor the show caught
on. Joanie and Chachi would soon return to Happy Days.
