    No Joanie

    The most beautiful Joanie dresses up as someone she isn't and tries to date a gang leader. Shame on her. We definately get a lot of Joanie in this episode which is really good. We get Carmine Ragusa from Laverne and Shirley. Of course we get Iron Dukes Cunningham, Potsy, and Ralf Mouth in a fight. Of course the Fonz to the rescue.
