Hey! Just loving these post Richie shows on TVLAND right now ... some notes follow! Let's discuss ... hopefully with answers that are longer than the three thousand images you guys have in you postings (ha ha). This stuff is fascinating to me!

1) Arnold's! Now, I've always hated the wooden 'nolds, but it's growing on me, big time! I think it has something to do with my finally seeing more of the first post-Richie 'sodes -- that first season without him is just great! There was a big effort to cover for the loss of a main character ... Anyway, it was cool that Lame Loribeth worked there. And, that there are actual waitresses in the place! Still not much in the way of food, but ... How about that giant tree to the left of Loribeth in her delivery episode! That was a rarity, for sure ... Oh, yeah! There was an epsiode that for whatever reason showed more of the place, too. For instance, when Chachi entered the kitchen, you could see that there was a bulletin board to the left of the doorway! Never saw that! Between that and the dishes area, that's the most we've ever seen of the ANY Al's/Arnold's kitchen ... also in that episode: there's a weird angle, when Fonzie pours coffee for Roger ... you can see a cyndler block wall at the entrance!

Now. let's go outside. They recently showed rain outside! That's a first and only, for sure. Also, this week, there was an epsidoe where the Al's logo is, and you can see slightly past it ... to the left there was a house ...

Go back in. Clarence! Am I right in in assuming that he wasn't there first, just referenced as a way to get Al out of a scene? Then, he was there, but in the old Arnold's? Then, in the new one, he was once again a figment? Help?

He, along with Jenny, and Grandma Noosebaum, are of that elite figment group of characters, brought to life later ...

Also, I liked Fonzie's office desk, though it's a little gross ...

And what about that giant cappucino machine?

I'm gonna stop with Al's, as this post is pretty long already ...

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Ron

Hey, Ron! It's Ron! Wondering why no one repsonded to such a detailed, fan-driven post! What dya think? Did it fall through the cracks? Did it make sense? Was it like a diary of a madman? Is it ahead of its time? Just had to repsond ... that Arnold's/Al's post looked so lonely up there!

Ahem ... well I enjoyed writing it, anyway, folks ...

Rock on!

Ron
