While paramout passed on making it into a weekly series, the pilot was recycled with the tittle love and the happy days, for presentation on the television anthology series love,  American style.

Storylines dictated that the set would be destroyed by fire, so in later seasons, a different amold’s drive-in emerged and lasted through the later years of the show. The new set featured wood paneling and stained glass.

In 2004. Two decades after the first set was destroyed, the Happy Days 30^th Anniversary Reunion requested that the reunion take place in Arnold’s. The familiar set was rebuilt  by Production Designer James Yarnell.  Built from the original ground plan, this was the first that the Happy Days cast had been in this set since the 1970s…….
