Happy Days: "Hardware Jungle"
Directed by Jerry Paris, US
Aired February 12, 1974 (Season 1, Episode 5)
In the first season of this nostalgic look at the '50s, Richie (Ron Howard) needs tickets to the sold out rock and roll show so he and Potsie can double date with Arlene and Gloria Hofsteder. Fonzie (Henry Winkler) finds some for him, for $6. "Six bucks? I don't know if I can raise that kind of money..." Richie borrows the money from his father and buys the tickets, but when his father has to go to the hospital to get his tonsils out, Richie has to look after the hardware store and can't go to the show. To return the tickets, he heads to Arnold's to find Fonzie. Ralph Malph tells him he's "Having his picture made," so Richie goes to the photobooth. Thanks for this discovery go to this Season 1 Episode Guide.
