Hey c'mon. Fonzie owned and operated a garage, was half owner of a Drive-In Restaurant, and was a high school shop teacher. On top of that he was dating almost every single woman in Milwaukee. When did he ever have time to watch TV?

MikeLutton · 02-12-2009, 08:47 PM

It may have been on the side of the room opposite the kitchen that we never saw.

Marvo301 · 02-13-2009, 01:26 AM

Why would Fonzie even need a TV in His apartment? When he brought girls over to his apartment it wasn't to watch TV!

That is so true! My father grew up in the 1950's and his family never had a TV set or electricity or indoor plumbing until he left the nest.

I think the Fonz was too busy with all of his dates to watch TV. He would watch TV with the Cunninghams sometimes.

MikeLutton · 02-13-2009, 05:26 PM

that all true i didnt think about them all being in the 50s and busy with all his dates to watch tv he had one downstairs and nm on in the 50s to begin with.

the fonz rules my favorite tv hero it was something i thought of that all.

There was no TV and no microwave either. I bet there weren't any stairs either that led to the apartment, but we just saw photos of somone's stairs.
Which makes me wonder how they ever got inside if the apt was above the garage?

Microwave ovens didn't exist until the 1970s. Quite a bit later than the Happy Days years. I believe the first one to be marketed was the Amana RadarRange.

I was curious about this, so I looked it up. The first microwave oven in the world was built in 1947 and called the Radarange by Raytheon. The first commercial model was introduced in 1954. The first popular home model was introduced in 1967 and was also called the Radarange. So, this was after the Happy Days years.

those early models were HUGE and ridiculously expensive - they didn't really come down in price enough for the average person till the mid to late '70's
