"Ralph's Family Problem"
Jack Dodson makes his final appearance as Dr. Mickey Malph, one of my favorite minor characters. I have no idea if the divorce went through.
In its seventh season, Happy Days ranged from D+ (three of them) to B (one), averaging out to C+ again, although I was worried at times. The cast and crew and writing staff are still able to bring it at times, and for a final R & R season, it's not bad.
However, divorcing the two Milwaukee shows was a moronic move and it hurt not only Laverne & Shirley (which shockingly dropped out of the Top Thirty), but knocked Happy Days down to #17. Three's Company survived and actually tied for Number Two, with That's Incredible. (60 Minutes ruled over all, because it was a different era.) As for what happened in the 1980-81 season, stay tuned, if you dare....
