The Fonzie character rose in prominence as the series progressed, eventually outshining even star Ron Howard. After Ron Howard left the show, the quality deteriorated and was never the same again (it "Jumped the Shark"). This is agreed upon by pretty much everyone, even the stars of the show. Marion Ross has said in interviews of Ron Howard's departure: "We (the cast) thought the show wouldn't survive after Ron left. It did survive but it was never the same." It seems Fonzie's character really only worked as a foil to Richie, and once Richie left as Fonzie's pivot point, the Fonzie character no longer worked either.
