Movie Reviews of Happy Days - The Fourth Season
Movie Review: "Hail, hail, Jefferson!"
Summary: 5 Stars
For all of you who rightfully boycotted Seasons 2 and 3, you'll be happy to know there were no edits in this DVD set. I'm not complaining there were no extra's in here, save for the Anniversary show, which is mostly a flashback episode. This is the show at its peak, in my opinion. Of course, I liked the other seasons as much but it's the last time the show would be this great. Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli the "hood" with a heart of gold (Henry Winkler) and Richie Cunningham the shy and slightly cocky nice guy (Ron Howard) are pretty much co-stars (it would revolve more around Fonzie later) and it worked. Each major cast member had a show revolving around them too- for Joanie (Richie's sweet but smart allecky sister played by Erin Moran), it would be "They Shoot Fonzies, Don't They?" and "Joanie's Weird Boyfriend," for Potsie Webber, Richie's buddy (Anson Williams), it was "Fonzie's Hero," for Marion (Richie's doting mother played by Marion Ross) it was "Marion Rebels," for Howard (Richie's wise and slightly grumpy but still caring father played by Tom Bosley), it was "Fonz-How Inc" and for lovable prankster Ralph Malph (Donnie Most), it was "Last Of The Big-Time Malphs." And Arnold's has a new owner, Al (Al Molinaro), lovable chef. Howard wryly observes "Arnold was cute [but] Al is humble and Italian!" Anson Williams does a great job crooning in this season and Donnie Most even proves to have a good voice.
It all begins with the 3 part episode Fonzie Loves Pinky, which features Roz Kelly as a guest star (she looked good in those pink shorts and she was in her mid-30's at the time!). She was one of the most popular one-shot wonders in TV history and alas, though Fonzie did like her, he and Pinky weren't meant to be. However, they make a great team in the drag race (I'm glad Richie's announcement to break for a commercial wasn't edited- I told my wife "When they 1st aired this episode, that really was a commercial break!"). This features one of my favorite episode "AKA The Fonz" which features hilariously tyranical Officer (then Sherriff) Kirk trying to take over Milwaukee and run the Fonz out of town (the anticlimatic scene where the townspeople show the Fonz their support is a scream! Go see it for yourself and snap your fingers along with the rest of them!). "Richie Branches Out" features Richie trying to meet his poster-girl crush. In "The Time Capsule," Fonz, Richie and the gang get trapped in Howard's vault (Linda Goodfriend, who'd later play Richie's girlfriend, makes her debut, albiet as Kim, not Lori Beth). Potsie saves Fonzie's life in "Fonzie's Hero" and the Fonz promises him anything at all (though having Potsie around all the time makes him uncomfortable). In "Marion Rebels," Howard takes his loving wife for granted one time too many ("Here's your salad, your vegetable, your MEAT!") and Marion decides to get a job- at Arnold's! "The Muckrakers" features Richie getting a story in the school newspaper (he had me laughing in that janitor's disguise, especially dangling the greasy liver in Fonzie's face!). In "The Physical," the gang including the Fonz are forced to report for a physical- Seargant Belcher, I mean Bechler is a scream (uh-oh! 10 pushups for me!). In "They Shoot Fonzies, Don't They?," Fonzie agrees to be Joanie's partner in a dance marathon, though he had to walk his motorcycle 12 miles to make it, Ralph becomes a bookie in "Last Of The Bigtime Malphs" and doesn't have the money to pay back one tough winner and Richie, Potsie, Ralph and the Fonz all graduate in the 2 part "The Graduation," Part 1 ends in a twist after the prom and part 2 has the Fonz participating in the ceremony, with the others hurrying up (Potsie rushes through the "Hail Jefferson" song much like the guy from FedEx ads!) so the Fonz can give a surprise speech! This also features Fonzie's kid cousin Spike and Arnold (Pat Morita). Too bad they didn't bring back Richie's older brother for this special moment, but Chuck failed to exist after the 2nd season. In "A Place Of His Own," Richie borrows Fonzie's room so he can impress a sweet but adventurous art student ("I found my thriiiilll on Blueberry Hill!"). And in A Shot In The Dark, Richie gets a lucky shot on the basketball team and is expected to save the next game (no doubt Chuck would be proud!). The Fonz finds old time religion in "Fonzie's Baptism" and this episode also reveals Arthur's middle name.
So find your thrill on Blueberry Hill and get this DVD set- aaaaayyyyyy!
