From 1974 to 1984, Joyful Days was some of the standard reveals on U.S. community tv, and it was actually a favourite of mine. I can nonetheless bear in mind the unique TV Information Journal advert for this system, word-for-word: “These have been the times of the Fifties … crammed with innocence and the promise of even higher days to come back.” Effectively, possibly it ought to have mentioned “higher days for many” as a result of one thing very odd and really unlucky occurred to the eldest member of the Cunningham clan.

Chuck Cunningham appeared on the primary two seasons of Joyful Days. Within the first season, he was performed by Irish actor Gavan O’Herlihy; throughout the second, Randolph Roberts confirmed as much as take over the function. Chuck was a basketball participant, and initially, shared a room with Richie, till he went off to school.
