Every day is a Happy Day when you're on the set of Happy Days. This wholesome show set in the 50s was actually shot in the 70s! Not only did it give Henry Winkler and and Ron Howard a massive career boost, but it also saved Howard's life. Right before Happy Days was scheduled to shoot the pilot, Howard received a notice that he would be drafted into the Vietnam War. Since that didn't sound like fun, Howard had to find a way to get an exception from being sent overseas. Given that he was in an art school, he couldn't use his studies as an excuse. Thankfully, at the eleventh hour, he got selected to shoot the pilot for Happy Days! That was enough work to keep him out of the draft (and probably alive).
