I don't want to immediately excuse or brush it off as it being a period piece. But let's get real here for a moment. Fonzie treats women as disposable objects that are subject to his every whim.

Granted, we don't see bedding the women or even really getting into what happens when he gets the women home. He only ever kissed and made out with the ladies. And the producers and writers did attempt to place Fonzie in a steady, monogamous relationship with Ashley (https://happydays.fandom.com/wiki/Ashley_Pfister) towards the end of the series.

You can also safely argue that the show's intent was to portray Fonzie as being so cool that they CHOSE to act that way, rather than him being able to mind control them or something.

The women in general on Happy Days were treated like nothing but sex objects. Even by Ritchie, Ralph and the gang. They were prizes to be won.it was blatant. Lol Ritchie even cheated on Lori Beth a few times without thinking about it. There would be changes if the show was produced today.

In today's "cancel culture" world, HD wouldn't last a season. I'm surprised they haven't tried to get it erased altogether.

I wouldnt wanna watch it today.....I would love seeing it though again in analogue like if I found a VHS tape of episodes recorded in the 80s :)
