Potsie, Ralph reunite for TV show

NEW YORK, July 14 (UPI) -- Don Most and Anson Williams, who played Ralph and Potsie on the U.S. sit-com, "Happy Days," have reunited to produce the series, "Take 2," Brainstorm Inc. said.

"Each episode of 'Take 2' is like a short independent film and will reunite different iconic duos of the present and past, but in all-new stories, as completely different characters," Williams said in a statement. "They'll still have the established on-screen chemistry that audiences know and love -- but I think people will be stunned when they see just how different they can be."

In addition to executive producing the series, Most and Williams also star in the pilot episode.

The show was conceived by David P. Levin of Brainstorm, Inc. after seeing the work of New York playwright Fred Stroppel.

"Fred's work blew me away. Dozens of these short, quirky one-act, two-person comedies. I wanted to find some way to put that brilliant work on-screen," Levin said in a statement. "I thought about Lemmon and Mathau or Tracy and Hepburn. The reason they worked together over and over again was because they had chemistry on-screen. In our favorite TV shows growing up, you saw that same kind of chemistry -- Ralph and Potsie, Will and Grace, Laverne and Shirley. Why not utilize that already established chemistry -- bring together these beloved stars -- in these provocative scripts that Stroppel had written?"
