Which "Arnold" did you prefer?

My pick is Pat Morita. No offense to Al's version, I just preferred Pat.

I realize they played different characters.

Only Pat was Arnold..... Al was Al. :D

And actually Arnold stated that wasn't his name--he simply took it because it was the name of the place when he bought it :lol:

Astute Happy Days viewers will notice in the actual first episode, when Fonz and Richie are outside........the place is named ARTHUR'S Drive In :lol:
Kinda spooky considering how Fonzie ends up being a partner with Al later on in the restaurant :D

I liked Pat Morita's character. He had the personality "either leave or get out" :lol: you gotta love that, plus he was in the karate kid! Nah, besides that, I just liked him. I liked Al Delvecchio/Molinaro but he was too boring for me, I'll pick both.

I voted for Pat Morita because I thought his character was funnier. Al
Molinaro was good, too; but his character seemed a bit contrived.

I liked how Arnold was brought back, but then they dropped him again--that was a bummer!
