    The Burglar

    Richie is home alone sick with the Asiatic flu and a burglar breaks in.

    One of Season 2's funniest. The rest of the Cunnighams are at the movies seeing 'This Is Cinerama". Herb Edelman plays the wisecracking burglar who claims to have a gun but never shows it. Potsie and Ralph come over with a nudie film and the burglar holds them all hostage. Fonzie shows up with a pizza and comes through in the clutch.
