bronze fonz
the "bronze fonz" was commissioned by visit milwaukee, a non-profit group with the purpose of promoting tourism and bringing new businesses to milwaukee. visit milwaukee raised $85,000 to commission the statue. over the decade prior to the statue's creation, other similar television character based bronze statues, commissioned by the cable television channel, tv land, had been built in other cities and towns to portray such figures as mary tyler moore (as mary richards from "the mary tyler moore show") in minneapolis and jackie gleason (as ralph kramden from "the honeymooners") outside the port authority bus terminal in manhattan. however, tv land scrapped its plans to build a fonz statue after a change in their marketing strategy in 2007.
