This episode is so bad, it defies description. From the laughably awful video of Fonzie supposedly riding the bull, to the obviously and badly wigged stunt double used on the wide shots. Just awful, awful, awful...And the dialogue is beyond lame.
There is a scene where Shortcake gets taken for a ride by a runaway wagon, and you can see her standing in the wagon, yelling for help, while the horses are standing still! All she has to do is jump out! But of course she doesn't and Fonzie has to save her with his motorcycle, aided by Richie. And, as with Jump The Shark, it ends with Anson Williams (perhaps one of the most awful singers of all time) croaking through a cringe-inducing love ballad while a beautiful girl rests her freshly-shampooed, blonde head on his shoulder. Of course, all these Milwaukee putzes end up with dim-witted, model-quality girls on their arms. Even Tom Bosley gets into the act with a few vomitous lovey-dovey comments to Marion at the end. This is what happens when Jump the Shark jumps the shark! And to think the show went on for another 5 seasons after this! What were we all thinking?
