    Joanie is the fairest of them all

    The Fonz gets his tonsils out. Has some nice scenes with the kids. Of course everyone dresses up in their costumes and we get some comedy. Including Mr. C's real daughter stealing his turkey leg. But as always Joanie steals the show with her beauty and with. And Chachi does his best to date Joanie. Also we get. Gerry Marshalls kids once again.
