Ron Howard and Jack Dodson both appeared together on "Happy Days," when
Dodson played Ralph Malph's father. Also, the man who started it all, Danny
Thomas, once appeared on "Happy Days," but I think Howard left the show by
that point.
Ron Howard's debut as a movie director, "Grand Theft Auto" (1977), had him
working with his father Rance and his brother Clint, and Hoke Howell
(Charlene's husband), not to mention his TV mom, Marion Ross.
Don Knotts and Bill Bixby worked together in "The Apple Dumpling Gang," and
Barney Fife was reunited with his ranking officer from Raleigh, Captain
Dewhurst (Richard X. Slattery), in "The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again."
They didn't appear on screen at the same time, but there was once a 1970s
commercial for Bonanza Steakhouses in which Don appeared as Barney Fife, and
one time TAGS guest star Bob Denver appeared as Gilligan.
