Henry Winkler may have been the breakout on ‘70s sitcom Happy Days, but he was far from having his own on a regular basis. Hidden behind the leather jacket, motorcycle and jukebox-whacking, Winkler was struggling with dyslexia, something that greatly affected his work and confidence.
As detailed in his upcoming book, Being Henry: The Fonz…and Beyond (out on October 31st), Henry Winkler said that it took him until he was already on Happy Days to even realize he had a learning disorder. In an excerpt made available by People, Winkler writes, “I didn’t find out I was severely dyslexic until I was thirty-one. For all the years before that, I was the kid who couldn’t read, couldn’t spell, couldn’t even begin to do algebra or geometry or even basic arithmetic…Even in the midst of Happy Days, at the height of my fame and success,...

There’s politically incorrect, and then there’s just plain wrong.
Netflix’s “Coffee & Kareem” pairs a young black kid with an inept white cop and hopes that their differences will amuse (or at least distract) stuck-at-home audiences for 90 minutes or so. But what audiences? What adult wants to watch this kind of “Kindergarten Cop” nonsense? that no parent in his or her right mind would let Junior tune in.
But that’s the beauty of Netflix, I guess: Age-based MPAA ratings are for the chumps who make movies for theaters (such a 20th-century — or at least pre-coronavirus — concept), whereas when it comes to serve-yourself at-home streaming, there’s no divide between bad movies and bad-for-you movies.
So here’s the pitch: James Coffee is an awkward, overly cautious cop — a role for which Ed Helms is well suited. Kareem Manning is a chubbier-than-most Detroit public school misfit forced...

Thankfully, Netflix picked up the script not too long ago and brought in Ed Helms and Taraji P. Henson to star in it. Now the first Coffee and […]
