    In this episode, Richie, Potsie and Ralph take an odd-job fixing an attractive divorcee's fence... hide show

    Richie, Potsie and Ralph need some spending money so advertise as odd-job men. They wind up getting a job fixing the fence on an attractive divorced woman.

    Potsie and Ralph both fancy their chances with the woman, but (surprise surprise!) it is Richie who ends up getting close to her. After the average high-jinks in the first half of the story, things become bitter-sweet, as Richie and the woman get on really well as they share dinner together, but are split by the age difference.

    A nice tale, and as much as I like the Fonz, it's nice to have these earlier episodes that revolve more purely around Richie occasionally.

  • Ralph: With a divorcée, all you gotta do is establish a relationship.
    Richie: With a glass of water?
    Ralph: It's a start, Rich, it's a start. It gets you inside the house. Then, you charm your way into her private quarters. From there, you're just one subtle move away from paradise.
    Richie: You go from a glass of water to paradise? []
  • Richie: Mom, you're not still mad, are you?
    Marion: I'm not still mad because I never was mad. You ordered this meatloaf, Richard.
    Richie: You're mad. You always call me "Richard" when you're mad.
    Joanie: Don't feel bad. When she's mad at me, she calls me "brat." []
