Another reason "The Fonz" deserves your vote

Call it "lobbying," if you will. But I'm sticking by Milwaukee's best, Arthur Fonzarelli, as my vote for the Greatest TV Character of All-Time.

Need video proof? The 2:27 mark of Weezer's "Buddy Holly" video tells the real tale of this dancing maverick. Pat Morita would vote for him. So should you.



... but I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention this new clip of Henry Winkler unexpectedly reprising his iconic role as "The Fonz."

Ron Howard spearheaded this hilarious effort on behalf of Barack Obama, even dragging out Matlock himself, Mr. Andy Griffith, to revisit his famous turn as Sheriff Andy Taylor. It's awesome to watch all three jump back into their roles (in Howard's case, Opie AND Richie Cunningham) as if no time had passed.

Even if you're voting for John McCain, you gotta appreciate the effort. Or at least the fact that Howard isn't shy about taking his shirt off for the camera.
