This is a list of episodes from the sixth season of Happy Days.
The season aired Tuesdays at 8:00-8:30 pm (EST).
The dude ranch operated by Marion's Uncle Ben is in danger of being taken over by crooked neighbor H.R. Buchanan; so the Cunninghams set off for Colorado to come to the rescue; with Potsie, Ralph, Al and Fonzie all in tow.
The gang needs to come up with enough money in five days to save the ranch, and they enter the 7th Annual Bar-A-Rodeo to try to win the prize money to defray the payment.
With the deadline for payment looming, the gang is still trying to raise the money to save Uncle Ben's Colorado ranch. In a desperate last-ditch effort—and trying to reassert his coolness—Fonzie volunteers to try to ride a killer bull for the $1,000 prize money.
When Al accidentally strikes him on the head with a metal tray, Fonzie loses his sight. With the possibility of his blindness being permanent, Fonzie struggles to come to terms with it; but Richie is determined to make his friend face the situation and revive his morale. So he has Potsie and Ralph take apart Fonzie's motorcycle, and leaves a helpless Fonzie in his apartment to conquer his blindness and repair the motorcycle, which he ultimately does.
Richie concocts a cover story to tell Lori Beth when he's actually escorting a baton twirler to the fraternity dance. Does this mean the end of their relationship?
Fonzie has developed a very close bond with Bobby, the young son of his latest flame Peggy. But when Peggy tells Fonzie that she plans to try to patch up the relationship with her estranged husband (Bruce Weitz), Fonzie must face not seeing Peggy's son anymore.
A party is planned for Joanie's sixteenth birthday. Everyone except Marion is pleased that she intends to date high school football star Tip Corrigan, until Joanie finds that he is a liar and a cheat. With the big party looming, will she be able to find her dream date in time?
Note: Although out of order, this was the first episode of the season produced.
When Richie begins a writing project on people's phobias; he, Potsie, and Ralph visit an eccentric Austrian professor (Leon Askin) to try to cure Ralph's numerous neuroses. When the professor predicts an imminent tornado, Ralph panics—until the professor hypnotizes him, bringing out a completely different side of Ralph's personality.
In the season's Halloween episode, Al is cowering in terror at a curse he believes he has received from an old lady. So at Fonzie's suggestion; Richie, Ralph, and Potsie arrange a mock exorcism to banish Al's demons.
