Photo courtesy of USAArthur Fonzarelli of "Happy Days" fame occupied a great deal of my time when I was a kid. Henry Winkler made that role exist vividly in people's memories years after the show wrapped, and now he may be well on his way to giving us another great character gift in USA's terrific summer series, "Royal Pains." "Pains" features two brilliantly funny leads, Paulo Costanzo and Mark Feuerstein, who actually look like the brothers they are cast as, with Mark as the down-and-out now freelancing Doctor in the Hamptons, and Paulo as his fast-talking manager Evan.Winkler plays their dad. Genius casting.The series returns for an 18-episode second season after its number one status on cable in 2009. Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Henry Winkler is back in season two as Eddie R. Lawson, the absentee father to Hank and Evan. Season one concluded with a cliffhanger after Hank learned that their father had taken the majority of HankMed’s funds. According to USA, Eddie arrives unannounced in the Hamptons, determined to reinsert himself into his sons' lives and make up for lost time. But his motives are unclear at best. He will have a considerable impact on HankMed, as Hank and Evan grow divided over whether family reunions are always something to celebrate.Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein), has reinvented himself as the hot new in-demand Doctor-for-Hire, making house calls any time, day or night to any patient in need. The series also stars Reshma Shetty and Jill Flint.
