Last Wednesday (Sept. 20) marked an anniversary of perfectamundo proportions. On Sept. 20, 1977, Henry Winkler‘s Arthur Fonzarelli leapt over sharks on water skis in the Happy Days Season 5 episode entitled “Hollywood: Part 3,” the final installment of a three-part episode.

However, it wasn’t until a fan of the Fonz recalled the scene with his friends in the 80s that it launched a ripple effect. At that time, Jon Hein was a student at the University of Michigan, where he and his friends were “talking about when [their] favorite shows started to go downhill.”

[It’s a pretty cool story, pardon the pun, as Winkler has decided to embrace the fun of it. — Ed]
