Liver - Arthur
"The Fonz" Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler) the ultra-cool garage
mechanic on the situation comedy HAPPY DAYS/ABC/1974-84
was just about the toughest guy on the block.
But, in the presence of a piece of wet, drippy
brown beef liver, the Fonz withdrew in horror
much like a vampire in the presence of a
crucifix. As he said "I don't like that. I don't
eat that. And I don't go out with guys who eat
it."
On episode No. 72 "The Muckrackers" the
Fonz's friend Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard)
decided to expose Fonzie's phobia of beef liver
in a front page story in the school newspaper.
At first, Fonzie asked Richie not to run the
story and even resorted to threats, but
integrity ridden Richie would not bow to the
pressures that would curtail the freedom of the
press.
Not the kind of person to let a weakness control
him, the Fonz finally got the nerve to eat liver
and overcame his fear.
Fonzie also had a hard time admitting he was "wr-wr-wrong."
