The ABC series, set in Eisenhower-Era Milwaukee, materialized on the heels of the 1950s nostalgia craze generated by the movie “American Graffiti.“The show revolved around the all-American, middle-class Cunningham family: loving parents Marion (Marion Ross) and Howard (Tom Bosley), their good-natured teenage son, Richie (Ron Howard, who co-starred in “American Graffiti”) and his kid sister, Joanie (Erin Moran).Howard, the future Oscar-winning director (“A Beautiful Mind”), was already familiar to television viewers as Opie Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show” in the 1960s; both Ross and Bosley were seasoned showbiz veterans whose resumes dated back to the 1950s.
