Well, there was the episode Jason, where the Fonz jumped the Tardicaca Shark* tank on his motorcycle, and was “impaled” on the way over, but at least he got an idiom named after his stunt :D

it would not have worked, American Psychological Association had only declared homosexuality was not illness in 1975--and show started in 1974.

THe fact that they were not doing episodes 'bashing' GLBT people either in 'the era' which the show was originally supposed to be set in or in that 'current time' (when there still were no anti-discrimination laws in most of America) should be good enough.

Today there would have had to be a gay character. The left would have demanded it and the writers would have caved.

Well the show was not either made in or set in today and I am 'left' as were several of the lead actors.
