"Fonzie the Flatfoot"

The highlight here is of course anything to do with Ralph trying to break a bottle like Burt Lancaster, with Richie's Fonzie imitation coming in second.  I didn't care that much about Fonzie being a cop, so C+.

Notes:

• Fonzie quit the Falcons three years ago, but they still look up to him.
• Richie actually tells Fonzie to shut up, with reason.
• I didn't recognize her but Kit McDonough apparently has the first of twelve uncredited HD roles as Girl in Blue Shirt.  When she'd get lines onscreen in the next couple years, like on the first Three's Company episode, she'd turn out to have great comic delivery.  (She does speak on Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy for instance.)
• Ken Lerner returns as Frankie.
• Mindy Naud is credited as Roberta but is emphatically still Paula Petralunga, whom Potsie is seen lusting after.  And, yes, that pinball machine gets more action than Potsie.
• Ed Peck returns as Officer Kirk, and Fonzie remembers him as a bad dancer at the Policeman's Ball, which raises all sorts of questions.
• Beatrice Colen makes her last official appearance as Marsha the Waitress.  She doesn't get a lot to do but she has a couple funny lines.  I enjoy what she brought to the show, but she was always a very minor character who didn't really affect plots.
• Arnold is absent, despite the threat of a rumble at his restaurant, which might explain Marsha's appearance instead.
• Jeffrey Kramer is Lefty here and would be Martin Smith nine years later.  He also had a couple roles on LAS.
• Marty Nadler would write five more HD stories and a first-season one for LAS.
