I've been a huge Garry Marshall fan since my early, formative TV years -- even though I had no idea who he was at the time.

Count me as one of the millions of kids in the 1970s who became absolutely obsessed with the show Happy Days, and more specifically, with The Fonz.

Marshall created, produced, and wrote Happy Days. (He has also brought the show to the stage now with "Happy Days - A New Musical"). And I was over the moon last week when I got a chance to chat with him and get some inside scoop on some of his big projects.
