GET HAPPY-activity #1
I watched an episode of Happy Days called "Fonzie Drops In". In this episode the Cunninghams have to rent out the room above their garage because business is slow, Fonzie just happens to be looking for a new place to live and Richie suggest that Fonzie moves into the room above the garage. The whole episode is a lot of fun. The first thing I learned is that everybody is friends, they always hang out at Arnold's and dance and just have fun. The next thing I noticed is its funny, lots of jokes and laughs but they don't distract from the story. Lastly there is that specific look, especially for the Fonze, the hair, the jacket, the combs and the girls. Its a very "cool" look that is a big part of Fonzie's identity. After watching Happy Days it will be easier to get into character and picture myself right there with the whole happy Days gang!

I watched a few episodes but this wasn't one of them. From your description, it definitely does sound like a lot of fun! Clearly it helped you with your character in particular. Can't wait to get the show together!
ReplyDeleteI watched the episode "Welcome To My Nightmare", where Fonzie was robbed of his "cool". Well at least he dreamt he did. Do you recall ever dreaming about losing your "cool"? Hmm? You know, from what I have seen so far, after watching a rehearsal of "Snap" today, you really seem to be getting into the character of moving around a lot and being on your own, I think the episode you watched must have had a big influence on that, I look forward to seeing more as we move forward in our production.
ReplyDeleteI definetly agree that watching the episodes gets you in to the mind set. I love their life style and how they all hang out together. Nice blog.
