They're baaaaack!
Diner tabs that don't get paid. "Offices" that reek of urine ... and worse. Ralph Friggin' Malph. And, best of all, the toughest 5-7, 130-pound (soaking wet) bad-ass to every crash a bike.
Yep, Happy Days is returning to TV with a reunion show celebrating the 30th anniversary of the show's debut.
No word yet on the show's plot, but I have a few suggestions:
Karate Chop With Your Pork Chop: Arnold addresses Ralph's complaint about being served a tough piece of meat really not a surprise considering it's been in the fridge for 30 years by calling on his assistant chef, none other than Daniel LaRussa, a friend he met in the San Fernando Valley in 1984.
Playmates Love Chachi: Charles Arcola returns to Milwaukee and finds that the chicks aren't nearly as hot as the bevy of celebrity broads he bedded in L.A. He makes one call to Hef and gets every Playmate from 1985-89 to show up at Arnold's for milkshakes and threesomes. Potsie loses his virginity at age 48.
Who Shot T.M.? Despite a restraining order attained by the show's producers, Ted McGinley shows up at Arnold's. Someone turns out the lights and says, "I don't think so, Love Boat photo boy. You ruined this show once already." McGinley is shot in the head four times. Police investigate the case for two hours, then hang out with Chachi some more.
MrsC.com: When Howard's hardware store goes under, despite George W. Bush's tax credits that have ignited the nation's economy to untold prosperity, Marion sets up a webcam in her bedroom to rake in $19.95/month. AOL, it's so easy to use ... for porn.
Whatever they come up with, I'm sure it'll be just as good as these.
