Was he cool or was he the odd bloke who hangs around with school children?

both, thats the good thing about being cool… you get to hang around with school children, who (being easily impressed) think you’re cooler than cool and its reinforces the cool factor.

he’s a clever chap that fonz, he cant lose.

He was COOL. What’s up with you? Next thing you’ll be saying the Dukes of Hazzard were despicable law breaking hillbillies who really should have been banged up by the man… Do you question whether Howlin’ Mad Murdoch really was howlin’ mad?

Odd as a character, but Henry Winkler is a jolly good chap.

He hung round in the same diner, and IIRC he lodged above in the Cunninghams garage.. so knew the kids via Richie, Shirley.
Good god, are you not allowed to talk to you parents lodger nowadays?

Showing far too much knowledge of Happy days (which I hated)

And still looking good

Henry Winkler [edit]OBE[/edit] is indeed a good chap and has just been given a badge off The Queen for it.

In the real World Roscoe would have shot Bo and Luke before they could even light up one of their dynamite arrows. And Flash would have been a half trained wolf.

And that should be Henry Winkler OBE.

And that should be Henry Winkler OBE.

Good point.

And well done The Fonz OBE

He rode a Triumph so he was cool whatever

You just know he’s saying “HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY” in that photo 🙂

No, the General Lee was just too fast and too bouncy. Bo and Luke were too skilled to go down that way. No way the law would’ve got them. That’s my childhood, dude! Have some respect. 😆

‘Cunningham’

snigger

You just know he’s saying “HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY” in that photo

And dying just a little bit more inside.

You just know he’s saying “HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY” in that photo

no he’s not, he’s not even got his thumbs up properly, heyyyyyy and the thumbs is copyrighted to paramount and he aint allowed to do it anymore.

The Fonz should have opened a repair shop. He could fix anything with a well placed slap. Jukeboxes a speciaility.

Was Mrs. C the original MILF?

I like the freckles on her chest!

Was Mrs. C the original MILF?

No, she was a wholesome mother figure who promoted healthy, well balanced living. What’s up with you people? Sheesh. 😀

She is kind of hot though. And look how she’s squeezing that orange. I like a woman with strong hands.

opened this expecting an rip thread. praise the lord!

iirc he only moved into the Cunningham’s in a later series- didnt’t he start out as a bit of a bad boy then, turn into some sort of life coach for teenagers?
When I was a 12 year old there was no-one cooler.

Sit on it.

Yep he was a gang member turned good.

Leather Tuscadero:

OMG Suzi Quattro, I’d forgotten she was in it.

Reality check guys.

You keep to your reality, I’ll stick to mine thanks.

Always had a soft spot for Shirley too:

Laverne, not so much.

Celebs get old, wrinkle and die but we can still admire them in their finest hour.

Laverne and Shirley used to get on my tits, that Milwaukee accent drove me nuts.

In the original series (which I saw on re-runs, obviously) The Fonz was the James Dean rebel type character. He only became everyone’s dad in the later series, after he “jumped the shark” in both the literal and figurative sense.

And anyway all those actors were in their 30s.

I thought Rhoda was hot. She made a tent in my pyjamas.

I had to leave the living room on all fours once, roaring, pretending to be a tiger in order to conceal the “swelling.”

Was this recently? You are 42.

dear God

HtS – no – it was in 1978.

That made me laugh aloud for the first time in weeks.

The Fonz was meant to be 17. Well that’s according to Danny Baker.

Love Henry Winkler. He was great as the family lawyer in Arrested Development too.
…and he even comes across as a genuinely nice guy on Twitter.

and it’s “ayyyyyy” not “heyyyyy”

Get it right!

I never saw past Joanie..

Proper LOL at Derek – that is hilarious, thankyou!

I never realised he invented the phrase “jumping the shark”!

I used to fancy Fonz’s more mature chicks. I liked the polo neck/rocket tit bra combo they wore.
