Chuck Cunningham was written off "Happy Days" primarily due to the show's shift in focus towards the central characters, particularly Richie, Fonzie, and the rest of the core cast. As the series evolved, Chuck's character, who was initially portrayed as the older brother, became less relevant to the storyline. Additionally, the show's creators aimed to streamline the cast, leading to Chuck's eventual disappearance without much explanation. This decision reflects the common practice in television of reconfiguring character dynamics to enhance viewer engagement.
