'Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

And this is one of those cartoons I was referring to during entry #30. This animated spin-off of Happy Days saw The Fonz and his friends somehow acquire a time machine and wind up on an odyssey through space and time, searching for a way to get home. This show was back from when the Fonz was on EVERYTHING... t-shirts, lunchboxes, coffee cups, video games, you couldn't escape the Fonz, and you couldn't escape him on Saturday morning either. The cast of Happy Days even reprised their voice roles, but don't let that fool you, this was not a good cartoon in any way, shape, or form. In addition to there being a Star Wars ripoff episode (in episode 2, naturally), we got old West episodes, pirate episodes, Arabian Nights episodes... you know, all the classic time travel cliches all rolled up into one unimaginative mess of a series. The animation is god awful, the comedy is bad, the show is littered with insensitive cultural stereotypes, even the voice actors sound bored. Apart from some limited camp appeal, The Fonz And The Happy Days Gang pretty much represents the worst aspects of animation cashgrabs all rolled up into one, and it mercifully ended after two short seasons (though some aspects of the show would get rolled into a Laverne and Shirley animated series, if you can believe it). Though the Fonz may have jumped the shark in 1977, he jumped over it again and again every time this trash heap came on television.
