HAPPY DAYS – Joanie’s Weird Boyfriend

Air Date/Released Tuesday, March 1, 1977
Station/Studio ABC / Paramount Studios

Teen life in late 1950s / early 1960s Milwaukee WI, as experienced by Richie Cunningham, his family & friends, and best friend biker Fonzie Fonzarelli.

Unhappy with nerd boyfriend Roger, Joanie revamps her image by donning a leather jacket and makeup, and hooks up with the Red Devils gang. Richie tries to stop her before the Devils "initiate" her, leading to a confrontation in the high school gym. Fonzie and Carmine step in, but Richie declares this as his own fight and enlists Potsie and Ralph to help him rumble. While Richie, Potsie and Ralph comically take on the gang members, Fonzie remarks to Carmine, Didn’t we see this in a Three Stooges movie?
