Potsie's family was kind of weird
Remember when he stated his family put him in a tire, and rolled him down The Grand Canyon as a kid? WTH?
shareHe had a family? I thought he, Ralph and Fondsea were orphans. Seems like Ritchy and Joany were the only ones with parents.
Well, no wonder they rolled him off a cliff. They named him Potsie after all. Did he even have a last name? We got Malph for Ralph and Fondsearelli for Arthur, but nothing for Potsie.
I think that Potsie's last name was Weber.
sharePotsie was his nickname. He liked to make clay pots as a kid. The character's real name was Warren Weber.
Ralph's father made a few appearances on the show. He was played by the late Jack Dodson.
Fonzie's father Vito Fonzarelli left the family and remarried. He passed away sometime during the show's run. His mother apparently was around but I don't believe she was ever seen. His maternal grandmother also made an appearance on the show.
Thanks for the info regarding his nickname. I was only 6 or 7 when the show premiered.
shareThanks too. Same.
shareI just found this. I didn't even remember him making an appearance.

I vaguely remember that episode. At the time I think I felt bad for Vito, but now I side with Papa Cunningham.
