I really did my best in trying to put this together in a general sense so don't take it to stone. It is a breeze of what a 2 hour tv movie could look like..maybe even spin off. Alike what happened to Lou Grant after Mary Tayler Moore. You see as an icon, Arthur Fonzerellis character still must have very human elements to keep him plausible without keeping alive as a caracature. As any one who has lived in this world more than 40 years. As well as life brings people and family apart and some times depart we must keep a realism to legitimise any concept of an existing Happy Days story in modern times. I hear about plays and memorabilia still in the 50s and the sometimes sillyness of staying back there. We have so much history and life in this world then to insult the Fonz as just a guy of that era but a man who represents youth and wisdom and humility and love and humour in 2004...The Fonz is forever! Hope you will enjoy a taste of this blurb..read it understanding situations that develop the diologue from the story context.
