    You have to remember that Fonzie jumped the shark nearly thirty years ago.

    Where did you get your degree in pointing out the obvious?
    Pointless thread, imo.

    Didn't realise he was involved with it, I'm reading that it was created by Lee David Zlotoff and Henry Winkler and another guy produced.

    He directed this classic though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cop_and_a_Half

    Indeed the Fonz did little but accidently coin a tv industry phrase.

    He was co-producer, but unlikely to have created or directed any of it.

    The Fonz didn't get old, Henry Winkler did.

    The fonz is immortal and will remain the epitomy of all things cool for the duration of the life of the universe, and the only thing that will be left in the void after the universe contracts and implodes on itself in an anti-matter explosion which leaves nothing but an empty void devoid of all matter and energy will be his leather jacket.

    Insider info.....
    He got Tubridy's name wrong for a bet! And he didn't GET it wrong, he said that he had been mispronouncing it all day. He wasn't wired or boozed, just knows how to give good TV. Had no problem talking about Happy Days even though he's done heaps of this since, Arrested Development, The Waterboy, Click, Holes; even produced MacGyver!!!!
