What Could Have Been...

One letter. They were one letter away from making television history.

All they had to do was switch the s for a p, and his name would have been "Potpie". Just THINK how cool the show could have been with a character named after the flaky goodness that is the potpie. You would have had lines like "Sit on it, Potpie!" or "Richie, telephone for you!"

"Who is it, mom?"

"It's Potpie."

Thanks to this egregious error by the creators, Anson Williams is left without an acting career and is forced to scrape by on what's left of his Uncle Sherwin's house paint fortune. Pity...

This made me cry a little bit.

"Potsie" or "Potpie" are both way better than Anson...

Life just turns on a dime, don't it?

I think "Lotsie" would have been best. Hey Fonz, have you seen Lotsie? No Fonz? OK. That's cool Fonz. That's Cool."

I'm with skylarsdad-it's better than Anson!

Um, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Anson William's career would've probably tanked, even if you did substitute a "P" for the "S."

Actually, since it was the 70's, he should have just dropped the "s-i-e" and he would've been the star of the show.
