Potsie and Ralph - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

1.Do you think Potsie and Ralph really cared about Richie, and were really his friends? I think someone else here said they sometimes took advatage of him, and got him into trouble. But, Richie was always the smart sensible one. Then they have their good times where they, goof around with each other. Fonzie was probably the most caring of Richie, maybe because he was smarter.

2.I guess one way to prove Potsie and Ralph, really cared about Richie is in this ep. Where Richie got hurt on his motorcycle and almost died, did they act like they cared very much? I have'nt seen this ep. in awhile, but I certainly know Fonz cared.

They cared. They bugged me though sometimes how they (and Fonzie too) got all mad @ him...they were selfish. (Fish & The Fins for example!!). As for Richie Almost Dies, they cared immensly, but since Fonziemania was happening, the show wanted to capitalize on the Fonz. By doing that for this episode, everyone got to see Fonzies soft side, and that, deep down.. he really loved Richie and that he was indeed his best friend.

Oh, I know they bugged me too how they got mad at Richie sometimes, and were being selfish. In that episode where Richie was going ROTC, and was trying to be their leader they were giving him a hard time. Then I think Fonzie sided with Potsie and Ralph, because Richie had to put them on report! I did'nt like that. Also yes Ralph and Potsie were selfish in that Fish & The Fins ep. too, I forget some of it. I think they did care about hi and were really his friends, just silly, nerdy, and selfish. But, they had their good sides too. I like seeing Fonzie's soft sides too and yeah that was so touching and sweet, the way they showed that Fonzie really loved and cared about Richie, and was his best friend for life. What was Fonziemania? Oh, I know I kinda brought up an old topic, someone else had about Potsie and Ralph hope that's ok.

This show really has its touching moments.

"Our Gang" shows me they cared for Ritchie. Why else would Ralph & Potsie show up in a dark alley to protect Ritchie from the Fonz? Another episode would be "King Richard's big knight" in which everyone apologizes to Rich for their behavior toward him when he was under the influence of that pill slipped by Bullfrog.

Sure they cared. Especially because they always apologized and admitted they were wrong. They just tended to be selfish and immature at times. Not so far fetched during the teen years.
Hey, I was a lot!
