Happy Days Duo Reteams for New Series

NEW YORK, July 15: Don
Most and Anson Williams, who starred as Ralph and Potsie, respectively, in the
long-running sitcom Happy Days,
have reunited to produce a new
series, Take 2, which brings
together iconic duos of the past and present.

Each episode will feature
a legendary pair reteaming in all-new stories as completely different
characters. Most and Williams, who announced the project at the recent
Entertainment Merchants Association (EMA) convention in Las Vegas, will star in
the pilot episode, entitled “Harvest Time.” The show was conceived by David P.
Levin of Brainstorm, Inc., inspired by the work of award-winning New York
playwright Fred Stroppel.

"I thought about
Lemmon and Mathau or Tracy and Hepburn,” said Levin. “The reason they worked
together over and over again was because they had chemistry on screen. In our
favorite TV shows growing up, you saw that same kind of chemistry—Ralph
and Potsie, Will and Grace, Laverne and Shirley. Why not utilize that
already-established chemistry—bring together these beloved stars—in
these provocative scripts that Stroppel had written?"

Williams commented,
"Don and I starred in the first one. But just imagine the possibilities
for other on-screen reunions. Whether it's stars of TV or movies or even music,
Take 2 really breaks the mold,
and will open people's eyes to a lot of very talented people out there who can
do a lot more."
