9. The character Jo was based on the Fonz
Nancy McKeon, who joined the cast in season 2, has said that her tough-girl character Jo Polniaczek was originally molded after the Fonz. “Jo originally was a lot like the Fonz; then they wanted to take away some of her dominance, which I didn’t want to do. So we talked about it, and came up with the way she is now. She’s not the Fonz, she’s not a wimp; she stands out alone.”
