I think we came to the decision that he's around 19, but to me the Fonz is ageless. He's just so cool that I never even put a thought to it!

Well, even though Henry Winkler was approx. 28 years old, Fonzie was supposed to be only 18 or 19. By the end, Fonz was 29 or 30. However, 39 year old Henry no longer looked that young which always made the episodes seem a bit awkward to me.

Only 18 or 19? I thought he was like 25.

He wasn't too much older than the guys. I'd say about 2-3 yrs older. He was still able to finish high school and doesn't "free" public school education stop at 21?

Yeah; I had a "boy" in my freshman class in high school that was 21 and that was his last year (but you can still get a GED after that).

During the 82-83 season, he was 25 years old and that is a fact. He was always two years older than Richie. He was 18 when the show started but like other characters, remained the same age for 2 years(Richie, Joanie, Ralph and Potsie went through the same thing).
