Agreed. His mannerisms were an attempt to imitate 1950’s or early 1960’s Italian-American greasers, I guess. Uh, not even close. No cigar for you, tough guy. FWIW, the whole show was a poor attempt to imitate that era. I watched it once or twice, chuckled, and never watched it again.

Sure, it was a fantasy. TV always creates a caricature. Lenny and Squiggy weren't typical of anything either. Garry Marshall was trying to cash in on the Sha-Na-Na, Grease thing. Grease the theatrical musical, not the movie which came later.
