Saturday Morning 80s Cartoon Special (Part 4): ‘The Fonz And The Happy Days Gang’
by Olly MacNamee
Who can forget Happy Days, right? It was a TV hit, and infamous gave rise to the ‘Jumping the Shark’ reference, signalling the dearth of a TV show after one stunt too many. But, how many remember The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang as they travelled through time, like some kind of hip Doctor Who in a leather jacket – years before Christopher Eccelston’s Ninth Doctor wore one – with sidekicks aplenty on board. It even had the voice talenst of Happy Days’ actors, Henry Winkler (The Fonz), Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham) and Donny Most (Ralph Malph), reprising their live-action roles fro this 2-D travesty.
Have at it, kidults everywhere with this episode, ‘King for a Day’.
