Episode : Richie Fights Back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBWvY-rYKIU
(Activity #1)
I learned from this episode of Happy Days that there are a lot of famous actors and actresses in the show. Such as Arnold, he is Pat Morita. Also known as Mr. Miyagi from Karate kid. Another known actor is Henry Winkler who plays Fonzie. He is also known for playing Marty Streb (the band teacher) in Here comes the Boom starring Kevin James.
For me ‘ Calendar Girls ' aren't in this episode but for the people who have main roles they could learn that Fonzie is a cool guy thats really laid back and that everyone is scared of him. Richie Cunningham is kind of a nerdy guy, also that he really does act like an older brother with his sister, Joanie Cunningham.
You can tell the time that it was supposed to be. The cars how they are super long at the end, theres a jukebox in the restaurant and a pinball machine! Now a days there would be shooting games instead of a pinball machine, there is no jukebox just music playing off of someones IPod. The girls are wearing long skirts down to their knees, also.
In this episode Richie and his friends (Potsie and Ralph) get picked on. Richie is forced to make the ping and pong noise for the pinball machine until the fonz comes and saves the day! Richie then gets mad and beats up the bathroom (says the fonz) because his date walked out on him. Later Richie decides that he wants to learn jiu jitsu. I like how Richie's father says he'll teach him how to fight so he makes Richie wrap his arm around his neck. Mr. Cunnignham then trys to flip Richie but fails and can't even move him.
I also like how Arnold the restaurant owner teaches the jiu jitsu class and everyone is super surprised. When the funny thing is is that he's Mr.Mijagi the karate kid's teacher in the karate kid! I really liked how Richie just lost it when we was going to get into a fight and was just jumping around scaring the two guys picking on him.
I also found this short nine minute clip featuring mork-A space alien from 2000 years in the future. Mork is played by Robin williams and after Mork and Mindy got their own TV show. I couldn't find the full episode of this one but for the nine minutes that i could see it was pretty funny.
My favourite part of this short clip was when mork kept on turning on the jukebox and the fonz would just have to tap it to make the music stop playing. I also liked the part when Mork "froze" the fonz and sectretly he was just posing later he came back to life and all he said was "ehhhh".
I liked how at the end Mork said that richie was protected by a secret weapon called "the fonzie" in a high pitched voice.

ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that you knew that I was once a star in karate kid. I left that behind for a hectic life as the owner of a malt shop. What was I thinking...

I enjoyed reading this blog entry, it had a lot of character to it. I noticed you payed attention to which characters were and weren't in the episode, which is a good thing. This really shows you are familiar with the characters of the musical!
ReplyDeleteI like how you were paying attention to the difference in kids now and kids back then. I also liked how you payed attention to the characters personalities. good job :)
