For the first couple of seasons Good Times and Happy Days were scheduled on Tuesday nights at 8pm ET, in direct competition. Good Times was the champ during the first two years, and Happy Days was slated for cancellation. Then Happy Days was retooled in part to copy some of the strong points of Good Times, particularly a flamboyant teen idol character who used lot of catch phrases. Happy Days pushed Fonzie into the center of the show, giving him lots of catch phrases to compete with "Dynomite", like "Ayyyy!" and "coolimundo!", and permanently had the show filmed in front of a live audience. The changes worked: Happy Days jumped to number 1 in the ratings, crushing Good Times. (Around the same time, series star John Amos left "Good Times", citing many of the same factors as spoiling the intentions he and Esther Rolle had for their show.)
