Come And Get Your Sister, Richie Cunningham

Erin Moran, seen above with Mrs. C during happier days (slap me for that pun, I deserve it) in 2009, is down and out in Indiana after getting kicked out of the trailer park she was living in. Erin, who played Joanie Cunningham in Happy Days, and her husband Steve Fleischmann are motel hopping, because they don't have any place to live and their money is draining away faster than whatever is left of Scott Baio's sanity.

Erin's road to woe started years ago when she was evicted from her California home. To save money, Erin and Steve moved into his mom's trailer in New Salisbury, Indiana earlier this summer, but that situation didn't last long. Steve and Erin both became trailer park rejects after his mom couldn't take their hard partying and kicked them out. The National Enquirer (via Radar) says that Erin got thousands of dollars in a cash settlement from CBS after the Happy Days cast sued the network over merchandising revenue, but she's drinking that money up so fast that it's only a matter of time before her checking account is completely dry. Erin and Steve were living at a Holiday Inn Express for a little while, but they were kicked out for being drunken messes. Some source put it like this:

“On several occasions the hotel management warned Erin to curb her unruly behavior. But they finally had enough of her temper and demanded that she immediately leave the property."

You know what? We've all been there. We've all drunkenly passed out on the scratchy shag rug of a Holiday Inn Express in Indiana and then got woken up by the management throwing our stuff into the parking lot, because we broke the vending machine in the hallway while getting into a fight with it the night before. We've all been there and we'll all be there again. Besides, it could be worse, she could be married to Scott Baio in real life.

Don't flatter yourself. It took me 5 seconds to figure it out.
The idea of me finding you "threatening" is pretty funny, though. Oooooooooooh nooooooooooooooes!!! Snarky internet person is changin it up on us!! Whatever shall we do??

The only reason I pointed it out is that I find it annoying when people aren't genuine. If you have to create multiple personas just to weave your fairy tales about "socialism" and your bff's Barack and Michelle...well, it's a little sad.

the only person I could stomach on Sappy Daze was Jenny Picallo and she was imaginary until they cast a real person to play her in last season.

Fonzie in his leather jacket and swimming trunks jumping a shark.. then grew a beard so that qualified him to be a professor. Crappy crappy show...

Couldn't stand this bitch in Happy Days. She was always useless and spent most of her time with a hoola hoop. Happy Days are not here again by the looks of it.

Reading this shit really brings home how fucking amazing Ron Howard is--a child star from the get-go who didn't fuck it all up and went on to incredible success as an actor, producer & director--not to mention husband & father. But I guess he's the rare exception to the rule.

Erin's story gives me the sads.

Btw, 68Special is GladysLove. Gladys Love was Elvis' mom. Plus the OBSESSION w. the Obamas. Oy. Give it up, already.

You have put a lot of time into this math equation and I should be flattered that you feel so threatened by whomever(s) I/we may or may not be.

My obsession with the Obamas is fundamental. They are socialists. They want to make the U.S. a socialist country. Socialism doesn't work. It is a flawed model that has never worked.

It's a shame Erin and Steve have burned through the money and are running out of options. They need a family intervention if they're getting kicked out of hotels... :/

Ewww, didn't know Scott Baio had turned into such a creeper. Ya, Joanie could have done much worse if she'd married Chachi.

So weird. I watched a movie last night called Falling Sky w. Brittany Murphy and Karen Allen...Karen Allen's character was a raging alcoholic & they lived in a trailer park. It had an Afterschool Special vibe to it...but reminds me of Erin Moran. It's sad.
And you know...I never thought of the fact that the Fonz was so much older and hanging out w. a bunch of high school kids! And high school GIRLS. Ew! "I get older and they stay the same age."

Where the hell is that biotch Jenny Piccolo to come git her azz ?

Back when I was in elementary school, she was on the front page of some teenybopper magazine I read at that time. In the interview, when they asked her what her goals were, she said to get skinny enough that when she put her knees together, her thighs wouldn't touch. I thought that was really weird. I wonder if she achieved that goal?

Gawd, I loved Happy Days! Richie was my favourite, then the Fonze. Although I did have a crush on Potsie (hey, I was just a kid lol). And I LOVED Ma & Pa Cunningham (wished they were my parents). I never liked Joanie much, not sure why. And she had the worst hair, all fuzzy and dry. But I feel sorry for Erin. Hope she gets the help she needs. Surely Ron (Richie) the gazillionaire could throw her a few bucks?

Possum's picture

Hated Happy Days, Three's Company, pretty much all those shows then. Richie was a virgin turd. None of those dudes ever got a piece.

Erin's hair is how mine looked in the 80s. Look how fried her chest is... crazy sun damage. Mrs. Cunningham is smiling but has that "Lord get this kook offa me now?"

Stan Hooper's picture

Funny how I also saw her on Celebrity Ghost stories with some story about how some gold diggers killed themselves in her house and thats why she got out. It was almost believable!

That's sad. She obviously has mental health issues and I think that even if she had help, she'd be a mess.

Hekki's picture

Oooh, EvilShoe, I loathed "Happy Days", too! I felt sorry for Joanie and Richie because their mother was a doormat (yet somehow a snobby cunt at the same time) to that asshole blowhard Howard. And I thougjt Fonzie was a creepy loser who hung around teenagers because people his own age thought he was stuck reliving his high school glory days, like Uncle Rico.

I thought she was tight with Jesus. I thought all of these blessings were coming her way. She does not sound very blessed to me.

did they used to call him "Potsie" because he was a pothead? O.o

I loathed "Happy Days" and her character disturbed me the most. No looks, no talent, and neither cute nor amusing.
Sorry, no pity party here. She got a fantastic break and was damn lucky to have those jobs.

Scott Baio and his wife say they hate lesbians. I just assume this means they place ads on Craig's List looking for a third for FFM play. Burning through 65K can be done in less than 6 months if you're an addict with addict friends.

This is very sad. A common experience for many; Sandra Dee (maybe the saddest), Veronica Lake. Margaret Cho explained it best by saying no one can understand what it's like to be told you're a living gift one day and then to have those same people refuse your calls the next.

Lol, I hated Happy Days as well, but I liked Andy Griffith. The intro song always put me in a good mood. I met Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle) at an airport once. Gay as a hibiscus.

Laverne and Shirley were my girls back then but I saw a few episodes recently and...where's the funny?

In any case, I'm shocked at just how much television I watched as a kid. I dream of Jeanie, Brady Bunch, Lost in Space, Wonder Woman, Mama's Family and about 100 more not including cartoons.

Confession:

I hated that show Happy Days. Fake family, fake stories and The Fonz was ugly as fuck and I thought he looked ridiculous as a grown ass man trying to be a teenager.

And I hated reruns of Andy Griffith too. Opie made me stabby. I hate Dennis the Menace as well.

I feel better now...
=========================

ALL OF THE ABOVE!! HATED THEM!!

add to that:

The Brady Bunch
Dick Van Dyke Show / Mary Tyler Moore show
The Cosby Show (gag worthy)
Three's Company

"FAKE. FAKE. FAKE. FAKE". (~ Elaine- Seinfeld)

in fact, ANY show that had "very special episodes" where someone got married or something.

The only exception to this, was "SOAP". I liked that show, and will still watch it when it's on today.

My husband thinks I'm a total scrooge for not loving all of the old 70's/80's comedy/sitcoms. but they were just awful! :(

( that being said. I LOVE "Always Sunny In Philadelphia". So I guess that explains everything.)
