Being one of the few on here that actually watched this episode, the people still DID NOT show up to the party. It showed that with all the respect & power the Fonz had, even racists wouldn't listen to him

Shyt was different. A guy living in the attic of a garage was the most respected guy in town? Could never happen now, you need a more impressive residence to get cool points like Fonzie got. lolBeing one of the few on here that actually watched this episode, the people still DID NOT show up to the party.

I didn’t know Happy Days was made in the 70’s til I was way older. I thought that shyt was really made in the 50’s 
They had a caeroon and all that shyt.I didn’t know Happy Days was made in the 70’s til I was way older. I thought that shyt was really made in the 50’s
But damn.
Even the Fonz couldnt end the cisms.
Part of this feels like it's making fun of racism and the people who practice it, and the other part feels like straight up.
But this was a 70s sitcom that was based in the 50s, so I was expecting nothing different than what I saw.
I kind of think this thread might be missing that.
Even though the 50's when the episode takes place was "only" less than 2 decades before the 70's, I get the impression that the world had changed A LOT more in those 2 decades than our current world has changed in the past 2 decades. The post-JFK/post-Vietnam world seems like a whole different century (at least on TV and in the movies). So the Happy Days scene is kind of saying "Look how far we've come in the past 20 years!".
Today if you watch a show made in 2004, the world has changed relatively little compared to then. (Other than that the Blackberries have been replaced by smartphones.)
Typing this out, I just realized something:
The title "Happy Days" is actually kind of similar to the whole concept of "M.A.G.A.". The "Happy Days" were the days when America was "Great". Before the JFK assassination, the Vietnam War, and the Civil Rights movement.
At the very least (unlike MAGA), the show had "some" awareness that the "Great Again" days weren't *really* that great for everyone all the time. They were sort of trying to walk the line between nostalgia, and acknowledging that progress really does exist.
lmao, instantly saw that.
They had a caeroon and all that shyt.

He could fly a time machine and everything.

fukkin hilarious that Archie Bunker of all people was doing anti racism PSAs when we know damn well the network probably forced Carroll to do this shyt. This PSA has to be at least 30 years old and not a fukkin thing has changed.
shyt is lame

I think you are confusing the character with the actor. lol
the point I was making is using Carrol O’Connor at the height of Archie Bunker fame to do a PSA like that is crazy considering how much of a dikkhead Archie was.

But you also said they probably had to force the actor to do it like he holds views similar to his character.
