Putzie was a bit of a tool, hana

What about Roger? Ted McGinley was a male model.

Potsie was the best looking guy on the show that the girls would have went after, until Chachi came on.
but he was a nerd

That was a good episode! And that could have been a nice ending to the show, although the Chachi and Joanie wedding was very nice too.

What if.. Potsie had hooked up with Joanie when she got older.. she did have a crush on him once.

Potsie also should have been in the final episode.

Potsie was an underachiever.

Potsie would have made a good cuckold. In fact, I can see a woman dating him for the sole purpose of cheating on him. He was a human Kick Me sign.

Potsie was kind of a dork. But yeah, you would think he would be more successful with girls than Ralph.

Sicko!

And in the Hawaii episode you could see Jan had the better rack.

That happens on TV. By the fifth season of "The Brady Bunch" Jan was prettier than Marcia, but Jan had no dates. It didn't make much sense. I guess the writers deemed Jan the homely sister, which was very far from the truth.

Potsie was pretty much Richie's sidekick. And sidekicks don't usually get as many dates as main characters. After a couple seasons the writers turned Potsie into a real dope. Maybe that was why he was not more popular with girls.

Anson Williams did okay in real life. He was married and had a daughter with Lorrie Mahaffey, the actress who played Potsie's girlfriend Jennifer Jerome.

I think it was Ron Howard who said that Potsie, originally, was meant to be a sort of older and wiser character for Richie to look up to. Then, as Fonzie began to get more and more popular and take on that role, they had to do something with Potsie. Since his previous position no longer made sense, they appear to have decided to make him into more of a comic relief character (often paired with Ralph), which I always thought was a shame.

Did Anson Williams really ask fans to write the show and request that Postie would sing more?

Potsie 'mutated' for several reasons
Early on he was actually 'the cool one' of the 3 boys
as Fonzie took over the show he became Ralph's sidekick so he slowly became dumber than Ralph
Then when Richie and Ralph where gone they needed excuses to keep him around
so he was given a crappy home life to explain why he was still dropping in on the Cunninghams
above all of this you also have the issue of Williams apparently asking his Fans (or at least the ones who wrote him letters) to write the show and ask for Potsie to be allowed to sing more
odds are more than a few writers saw this as kind of a d!(K move and once they figured it out they decided to punish him by making him less and less cool

Honestly, I believe David Soul had more than one hit, hana
That's truth buna

David Soul got very lucky with his one and only hit "Don't Give Up On Us"

To each their own, I don't believe either would win a Grammy but they weren't as bad as some of what's out there. Anyway, their TV status helped them to get recording contracts. It adds to the advertisement of their shows.
