It was widely assumed that Ron Howard was cast as Richie Cunningham on Happy Days due to the success of this movie. Ironically, the reverse is true. Howard shot the original pilot for Happy Days in 1972. When the pilot wasn't picked up, ABC aired the pilot as part of its anthology series Love, American Style. George Lucas cast Howard based on the pilot, and American Graffiti's subsequent success inspired ABC to reconsider the series, adding a greaser character based on John Milner. The series debuted in January 1974.
