"Happy Days" immigration episode is on Me-TV tonight at 8:30

During the current immigration debate, an interesting entry on primetime broadcast TV tonight: the digital subchannel TV network Me-TV (Memorable Entertainment Television) shows the 1981 Happy Days episode "American Musical": "Struggling to write a school essay on America's immigrant history, Chachi is inspired by Fonzie's colorful story told to the tune of an imagined melting pot melody."

Either watch/DVR it tonight 8:30 (ET/PT), or check local listings. Hulu has the 22-minute syndication edit of the episode here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/633669

A priest (Micheal Parks) had abandoned his faith because he had refused a doctor permission to abort a child to save a woman's life, both mother and child died.


There was a time when our popular entertainment attempted to educate us about the moral dilemmas in our lives. Now we just got a bunch of Kardashians and phony-ass "hillbillies."
