    'Happy Days' At The Toody's Apartment

    Tom Boseley, who became famous playing "Richie Cunningham's" dad on TV's "Happy Days," plays a con-man in this funny episode.

    He plays "Archie The Artist" and his disguise this time is a reverend, "Rev. Harold Peterson" a man-of-the-cloth. He winds up as a boarder for one month at the Toody' residence because they need money after Lucille went on a spending spree.

    Anyway, "Archie" is just biding time until the next heist plan is complete. He thinks he finds one....a really interesting one as he thinks the cops are really fellow crooks......but is he in for a surprise (as well as the cops)!

    Overall, an entertaining episode from start to finish.

    • Goofs
      When the "Reverend" falls out the window, as everyone rushes out the door to check on him, you can see--on the left of the screen--the shadow of the camera as it dollies in for a close-up of the radio on top of the dresser, which is announcing that the counterfeiter has been caught.
