Happy Days

- Season 3

(1975)

Due to slow business at the hardware store, Howard Cunningham decides to rent out the adjoining upstairs attic/apartment as a way to make more money. Fonzie brings his grandmother over to rent it, but she hates it. While his dad helps her down the outside steps, Richie talks Fonzie into moving in instead, much to the horror of Howard who still considers Fonzie a "hood" and nothing but trouble. (He nearly chokes Richie!) Will these two very different backgrounds be able to co-exist?

The Cunninghams try to keep Fonzie too tied up to take revenge when he finds out who demolished his beloved bike.

Trying to revive his slumping "cool", Fonzie plans a televised motorcycle jump over a record fourteen garbage cans in the parking lot of Arnold's Drive-In.

Surgery fixes the Fonz's injured knee but the Cunningham's coddling and his fear that pain will make him appear "uncool" keeps him lying on the couch, until Richie resorts to extreme measures to get Fearless Fonzarelli walking again.

To help secure a lucrative business deal for Cunningham Hardware, Howard asks Richie to take his client's daughter out on a date. Problem is, Richie already has a date ... but then he learns that Potsie doesn't.

Richie is continually harassed by local hoodlums Frankie and Rocko. When they humiliate him in front of his girlfriend at Arnold's, he turns to Fonzie for advice in turning the tables on his foes and he ends up enrolling in a jujitsu class.

An act of vandalism at the high school causes a curfew to be set for Milwaukee teenagers. Richie & friends get jailed by officer Kirk and Richie's dad Howard Cunnigham as well.

The Cunningham family unintentionally make things worse when they stage a "This Is Your Life" birthday evening to try to lift 45-year-old Howard out of a mid-life crisis.

Officer Kirk promises to forgive Howard Cunningham's parking tickets and allow a loading zone space in front of his hardware store, if Howard can convince the Fonz (who is given a temporary Special Police appointment) to stop his old gang, the Falcons, from rumbling with their rivals, the Dragons.

The Fonz picks two of his favorite chicks out of his not-so-little black book to help Richie out of a dating dry spell.

High-schoolers Richie, Potsie and Ralph hope to score during spring break by masquerading as foreign businessmen at a lake resort frequented by college girls.

1950's racial prejudice and stereotyping are explored when most of their friends refuse to attend the Cunningham's Hawaiian luau after finding out that Richie's band's new drummer and his date are black.

Fourteen-year-young Joanie Cunningham falls hard for seventeen-year-old Potsie Weber when he looks deep into her eyes while rehearsing a romantic song with his band.

Unable to dial back his infamous slapstick humor that caused his girlfriend, Olivia, to break up with him, a rejected Ralph Malph follows Fonzie's advice to forget all about her and join the Marines.

Marion wants to join a dance contest but Howard and the kids think it's ridiculous. But she decides to enter with Fonzie and they spend their free time practicing. When she acts strangely because she's keeping it a secret from everybody, Howard wonders what's going on. And when Arnold who knows about it let's it slip that Marion is seeing someone else, Howard follows her. And when he sees her with Fonzie he loses it.

Fonzie's friends reminisce about the impact he's made on their lives when the Cunninghams throw him a surprise birthday party at Arnold's Drive-In.

When nephew Spike comes for a visit and gets into trouble, frustrated Uncle Fonzie goes to Howard Cunningham for some expert fatherly advice.
