I am a bigger fan of the 1980-84 years then I am of the earlier ones. I grew up watching these years in syndication FIRST, and these are the ones that hold memories and magic for me. Sure, I like Ron Howard, but I LOVE the character of Jenny Piccalo and the romances of Joanie and Chachi and Fonzie and Ashley. Maybe, if I had seen the earlier ones first, I would feel differently, but the truth is I love and prefer the 80-84 years!
