| David Hartman and Barbara Eden in The Feminist and the Fuzz. |
Three-hundred episodes. It must mean something, but what? Hell if I know. When my cohost and I started These Days Are Ours: A Happy Days Podcast in 2018, I didn't even know if we'd make it though all 11 seasons of the sitcom. Well, we did... and then some. After we reviewed all 255 episodes of the original series (1974-1984), we covered its animated spinoff, The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang (1980-1981), and all the feature films directed by the show's creator, Garry Marshall.
Lately, we've been exploring the vast world of Happy Days-adjacent media, i.e. projects involving the cast and crew of the show. Since many of these fine folks had long, varied careers in show business, we can never run out of material to cover. My first pick for this phase of the podcast was The Money Tree (1971), an educational film starring Anson Williams. This week, we get my cohost's first pick: an extremely of-its-time made-for-TV movie called The Feminist and the Fuzz, directed by Jerry Paris. The plot concerns a liberated San Francisco doctor (Barbara Eden) who, through wacky circumstances, ends up sharing an apartment with a chauvinist cop (David Hartman).
Will these two mismatched roomies find love against all odds? There are literally only two ways to find out: either watch the movie yourself or listen to our review of it. I know which one I'd pick.
