Upon greater scrutiny, it turns out that Nick from Family Ties (Mallory's boyfriend) is nothing like The Fonz.
Happy Days was the most brilliant sitcom ever. I wish that they would bring it back for another season. Whole cast: Tom Bosley, Marion Ross, Ron Howard, Donnie Most, Anson Williams, Henry Winkler, Scott Baio, Erin Moran, and Al Molinari. Not a reunion show, no contrivances to get them back into Millwaukie. Just a continuation of the show.
In episode #1, Fonzie's adopted son gets his braces removed by Ralph Malph (a dentist) and then tries out for part in a movie being shot at Rich's movie studio. He misses his call-back audition because he has to baby sit for Joanie and Chachi. "Joanie why are you all gussied up, its our bowling nite!" "Nice try, Chach."
In episode 2, Roger Cunningham gets abducted by Mork (special guest star Robin Williams) no one goes to rescue him. "Keep him, he's your problem now" says Mr. C. "Oh Howard", says Mrs. C It's up to Potsie to save the day. He hires a lawyer who server Mork with a writ of habeous corpus and then Mork has to give up. Na-new, na-new.
In the third episode, Mr. and Mrs. C are having trouble hooking up their TiVo but Jenny Picalo helps out.
In the 4th episode, Fonzie and Chachi visit Houston and hang out with the peeps at Han's Bier Haus.
Its a two-parter:
in episode five, Chachi mows my lawn and the Fonz fixes the front driver-side quarter-panel of my car. Like clockwork, I mess it up again in the same way. Al says, "Yep, yep, yep, yep yep."
In the sixth episode, I go hang out with Richie Cunningham in San Dimas (where my employer has an office). I show him our Cisco IP Phone (tm) system which he decides would be great for a commerical. He calls the Malachi Brothers (now ad execs) and tells them, "I've got a great idea, Buck-o." Then we go do pilates. Why are you still reading this?

"Too late or still too soon too soon to make lots of bad love and there's no time for sorrow. Run around, run around with a hole in your head 'til tomorrow."
