In this series, I attempt to demonstrate that the show Happy
Days follows the concept of the fantasy world of the 1950's United States, and
is full of pro-US ideology and rife with heavy handed statements about
morality. Happy days was made from Season 1 starting in 1974. Oh yeah, and so
you don't miss anything, the clips are played at 1/3rd speed, and so are screwed, as in the technique used by DJ
Screw to acquire a unique style and feel. He was called DJ Screw (RIP 2000)
because he used a screw to modify the speed on his turntable. I love his hip
hop mixes, and I love things slowed down. What follows is the summary of:
SEASON 2 EPISODE 13: Fonzie's Getting
Married
In this episode the Fonz makes a big announcement; he, the
teenage Fonz (they are never clear on his age but he is in the same grade as
Potsie and Richie and Ralph, who are in high school) is getting married. The
gang has a huddle with him in his office:
Yeah, that's right, the Fonz thinks that men should only marry virgins. This becomes a point of contention when, uh-oh, turns out Howard (AKA "Chips" Cunningham) saw her strip at a hardware convention. If this doesn't sound like something a family man like Howard would do, you don't know Howard very well. To find out for sure if it is her, he will recognize her laugh:
Is Howard actually joking, or just explaining what he thinks
about bums? Well now Howard's worst fears have been confirmed. He has to tell Richie:
Eventually they tell Fonzie, who naturally doesn't believe
them. They go to the "strippers", 1950's style, to scope out the
action:
We never find out what happened to them when he caught up to
her. Howard sizes up The Lone Stripper and runs for it:
Fonz drinks in the
reality of the situation, man's up and gets over it. Richie has other things on
his mind:
And Howard is also busy:
At least Marion knows how to have a good time.
