"A.K.A. The Fonz"

Although the studio audience is reacting as much as if they're at an old-timey melodrama, this is another B- for me.  I enjoyed it but it's not amazing.  Officer Kirk has been appointed sheriff.  (Good thing Laverne DeFazio wouldn't be arrested for shoplifting for another few weeks.)  His main mission is to run Fonzie out of town, although he'll pressure Fonzie's friends as well.  Everyone comes through for him, dressing as Fonzie in solidarity.

Notes:

• After twice playing a nameless Drunk on HD (and many other shows), Jack Perkins here is Bob, the McCarthy-loving mortician member of the Leopard Lodge.  Kirk hates Commies and Pinkos, but Bob realizes that anyone can be a victim of a witch-hunt.
• Alan Oppenheimer, who was a very frequent television guest star (four times on That Girl for instance), momentarily takes over the role of Mickey Malph, who has a neon eyeball to advertise his optometry practice, although it's somehow a wedding gift from his aunt!  Ralph still adores his father's sense of humor.
• Potsie does not have nearly as close a friendship with the unseen Mr. Weber, who he hasn't spoken with in six months!
• Poor Al is still just a pledge to the Leopard Lodge, although he stands up to Kirk later, to the audience's delight.
• Brian Levant would write fourteen more HD scripts, well into the last season.
