Happy Days

"Richie Almost Dies” (31 January, 1978)

Join us for Episode 28 of Very Special Television as we welcome Special Guest Matt Sharp (The Rentals, Weezer) who regales us with true stories of growing up on Happy Days, shooting the "Buddy Holly" video and meeting your idols. Richie (Ron Howard) convinces his parents he's man enough to ride a motorcycle like Fonzie (Henry Winkler) by throwing a tantrum and literally acting like a baby. Lo and behold, Rich gets into a wreck. While Lori Beth (Lynda Goodfriend) is thrown into a pillow factory, Richie takes the brunt of the injury and ends up in a coma. The 50's-era docs are doing all they can so they send the gang home where Leather Tuscadero (Suzi Quatro) sings an ad-libbed ballad to a montage of Richie's most touching moments. Meanwhile back in Richie's hospital room, the Fonz sneaks in and has a heart-to-heart with the man upstairs and things get awkward! Fonzie makes a pact with God and Richie comes back to life - it's a 50's medical miracle! Its an amazing episode - stay tuned for Part II coming soon!
