Yeah, I'm not really as sold on Ron Howard's characters being as iconic as maybe memorable. But I'd argue that while Andy Griffith is still a highly recognizable actor, and most people would identify him to AG Show & Matlock, his characters were never "iconic". So I guess I lump Griffith and Howard together in the same boat. Maybe neither belongs on this list.
Fonzie is definitely the biggest icon from Happy Days (possibly the only one) but obviously has no other iconic role to speak of.
