Sorry Happy Days fans, but this jumped the shark way before Fonzie actually did. It really had became a pantomime, slapstick show by this point geared more to pre and young teens. Fonz's confidence was bordering on arrogance and his control over women was not so much disturbing as embarrassing.
Rich is in a dating slump and Fonz takes him to the library because it's full of females. He meets his future wife there (Lori Beth) and they go back to her room at the college dorm to make out but stay past the 10pm curfew and must get out without being caught. Anyway what happens is not great comedy. Super cool Fonz pretending to be a woman putting on a loud 10 year old girly voice impression? Puleeez.
Always loved the first two seasons when it was more a period piece of growing up in the 50's. Clever writing, direction. Ron Howard was the unofficial star, had good acting chops and the likability of the supporting cast and the great chemistry they shared. This was when the Fonz WAS really cool. He was used sparingly and had an air of mystery and quiet authority about him. Heyyyyy
