A classic scene from the Happy Days episode, “The Deadly Dares”, 1974:  Richie and Potsie get Fonzie's help to join the Demons (a social club for pranksters), but are on their own going through their initiations.  The dares culminate in this scene, where they have to dress up as girls and go to the dance.

The animated Happy Days spinoffs (who knew there were so many talking animals in the 50s?)
Tumblr media
(Thanks to wikipedia)

(Thanks to the New York Times)
For those who do not know, Happy Days was a sitcom from the mid-70s through the mid-80s about the Cunningham family and their lives in the 50s and early 60s in the city of Milwaukee. The star of the show is the oldest son Richie (played by Ron Howard) He and his friends Ralph Malph and Warren “Potsie” Webber had all sorts of mundane adventures until they encountered...
Tumblr media
(Thanks to The Times)
...Arthur “The Fonz” (or “Fonzie”) Fonzerelli (played by Henry Winkler), who would become Richie’s best friend. Fonzie was the epitome of “cool”, able to do supernatural things with just his "coolness”.
youtube
(Thanks to Ant Man)
But this isn’t about Happy Days per se. You see, when a show is successful, producers want to cash in on the show’s success by making new shows in the same “universe” (There were four shows “spun off” from Happy Days) Some are based on existing characters (such as Joanie Loves Chachi, which was about Richie’s sister and her boyfriend) or about characters who were introduced for the express purpose of spinning them off (such as Mork & Mindy)
The former is the case for the first subject of this review (the latter I’ll discuss later)
youtube
(Thanks to generic0001)
(Yes, that’s legendary “oldies” DJ Wolfman Jack narrating the intro. Sadly, that’s his only involvement)
The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang followed...
Tumblr media
...Fonzie, Richie, and Ralph (voiced by Winkler, Howard, and Donny Most, whom longtime will remember also voiced Eric the Cavalier) as they are dragged into a “Gilligan’s Island, time travel edition” style show.
Tumblr media
For whatever reason, the writers added a talking dog named “Mr. Cool” as comic relief. Most fans of the show were very confused as Fonzie had a dog on the show named Spunky.
Tumblr media
...who looks nothing like Mr. Cool.
Mr. Cool thought that, since he was the Fonz’s dog, he had Cool Powers too, but far from it. Nearly every time he tries using them it spelled disaster.
Tumblr media
Piloting the time machine is Cupcake (they have weird names in the future. Are her parents named Bundt and Cheese?) who has no clue how the damn thing works.
If you would like to watch this show, it’s available on KissCartoon.
Now on to the final spinoff...
Tumblr media
Laverne & Shirley was a sitcom followed best friends...
Tumblr media
...Laverne DiFazio (played by Penny Marshall. For whatever reason, Laverne needed to have a giant L embroidered on everything she wore) and Shirley Feeney (played by Cindy Williams) as they went through life in another part of Milwaukee (and later, for some reason, Los Angeles)
However, what I’m here to cover is the spinoff of the spinoff (which was paired with The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, naturally)
youtube
Yes, for whatever reason, the girls decide to join the army. Thing is, there was an episode of the main series where they did that very thing.
Tumblr media
Meet Sgt. Plout (played by Carol Burnett Show alum Vicki Lawrence), who would’ve made a better foil in the animated series than...
Tumblr media
...their Commanding Pig, Sgt. Squealy (though I’m not sure why he has Private stripes). Hell, they could’ve made Plout a frog (since Shirley commented Plout resembled one) if they REALLY wanted a talking animal.
The episodes involved Laverne, Shirley, and Squealy dealing with all sorts on nonsense that had almost nothing to do with Army life.
If you would like to watch this train wreck, it’s also available on KissCartoon
If you would like to see an episode from either series reviewed, let me know!

[Continued from Here because dammit play fights are fun.]
When Potsie bapped Stars arm the first time, they had smiled it away, aware their tail probably hit him. Understandable as it probably happens more often then the larger troll means to.But the second time? Oh... That be playfighting words.
Grinning mischievously right back at Webber, Star pokes their tongue out before reaching to start annoyingly poking his arm. Tail? Probably fwapping him softly once again to pester the poor trapped Pots. 
Thou shall not WIN!!!

Star ==> Dance?
So, after a rather harsh morning of trying to drag himself up and out of bed, Star was up and grabbing his taped together glasses to hunt down his clothes. Kissing his moirails cheek as the warmer troll slept beside him, and he was gone.
Carefully opening his closet, Star looks down at his legs before puffing up and grabbing the outfit he had in mind. It was cute and... Not so bedazzled as his other clothes, so maybe when they were dancing outside of Potsies hivestem, the poor boy would’t get so many strange looks? Well, that’s what Star was hoping for as he slips on the simple white blouse and smooths out the soft pastel purple skirt. Then fixing the matching suspenders keeping the higher waist skirt up. 
Inhale, exhale, he smiles and fixes his broken glasses whilst his tail flicks behind him. Up down, up down. Feet silent as he scuttles away, Star smiles as he watches the white, slightly purple, stalkings hide his legs while he moves.
Standing on the transportalizer, Star had a face breaking smile in place.
He loved visiting people, so when he found himself at the coords sent to him, and Potsie there to meet him, the larger one grins and waves lowly, to not give them too much attention--not any more then his height would! Animatedly, the two both talk about what dances to do, how they would work with his legs--the WHOLE kitandcabootle!
Needless to say, the Starboy was excited. 
As the two laugh at a stupid joke, Star pulled a candy out of his pocket to eat it whilst listening to Potsie explain their first dance, mimicking the moves by himself as Star sits on the first available surface near there. Most likely a cement blockaid, or staircase. And it sounded positively amazing! So, enthusiastically, the larger male stands up and follows his friend to the middle of the area and does as told. Hands resting on the lightblue clad shoulders of his long shirt wearing nerd of a friend. Humming as Potsie’s end up on his violet waist, and he looks down. 
Earfins alert as he watches the others feet, he follows, laughing when he does it right. Though he would quickly back step whenever he’d accidentally step on Warrens feet, a sheepish smile dancing on his face before the blueblood laughs and shrugs. 
Soon, they’re both moving quickly, and making up stupid music to dance with. Laughing and holding hands to keep the dance going as they pull back together. Hoping and spinning, they forget the funny looks and whispered comments as they just enjoy the day, and it’s not even over!
Caught up in the dance, Soon both were just swinging next to each other, grinning ear to ear, Slowing down only when Potsie wanted to add something new, and only getting harder once Star got it enough to resume their stupid little dance. Hands linking again as they then cup their hands and Warren grabs Stars waist as a goofy mock of the salsa. Making the higherblood cackle as he’s then spun away and back towards his companion.
Then the ground is out from under his feet. Hands son Webbers shoulders and feet up under him, he laughs before his feet meet the ground again, and he spins away with a tired huff.
After another few moves, the two are arms distance away from each other. Out of breath; warm faced; and smiling after an hour or two of dancing with few breaks.
Awkward laugh leaving Star, he rubs the back of his neck before shrugging. “So... WWanna get a drink ‘nd relax for a bit before singin’?”
“... Yeah! Why not?”
Today was a good day.
