They're giving two thumbs up to the bronze Fonz in Milwaukee.

Dozens of people lining the Milwaukee River downtown cheered as a bronze statue of the "Happy Days" character was unveiled Tuesday.

Actor Henry Winkler stroked his hair and smiled as he inspected the life-size, bronze statue of Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli. The statue shows the Fonz smiling and giving his signature two thumbs up.

Most of the cast was on hand Tuesday, along with the show's creator, director and producer Garry Marshall and actors Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams from the spin-off "Laverne & Shirley."

Milwaukee joins at least six other cities around the nation that have erected statues of classic television or movie characters.
