Ah, you've distilled my whirling thoughts to the essential question!

Interesting personal follow up questions include "what did White middle class latchkey kids in 1996 take away from this fraught messaging?", "why on earth did these 90's pre-teens consider this appointment television?", and "is the Fonz the basis of my lifelong sexual attraction to confident people in leather jackets? What percentage can we attribute John Travolta in Grease? and, Is it important enough to bring up in therapy?"

Really, a lot to unpack here, πŸ˜†

Amazing questions all around. As for your last one, I'll say: If it wasn't the Fonz, it would have been somebody else!
