I'm afraid there's nothing listed for this episode. Add something here!
Richie Cunningham: So how did you do on that social studies test?
Potsie Weber: I missed that question on Alaska. I hear they want to make it a state now.
Richie Cunningham: That'll never happen.
Trivia: Henry Winkler (Fonzie), Marion Ross (Marion Cunningham), and Tom Bosley (Howard Cunningham) are the only actors to appear in all 255 episodes of the show.
Question: When this episode first came out, I vaguely remember a scene in the beginning where Ralph runs into Arnold's and yells to the people inside something like, "There's a flying saucer outside!" and no one believes the normal-joking Ralph. Then Richie comes in behind him and yells the same thing, and then the people all scream and flee in a panic, believing Richie. In all years of syndication/reruns, I have not seen this part at all, but remember this part as a kid when this episode was brand new. Did such a part ever exist? (Near the end of the episode, Howard mentions the flying saucer people thought they saw was a weather balloon so I'm figuring so).
Answer: Yes, the ending changed but this was in the beginning of the episode where the question lies.

Answer: When it was originally broadcast there was a different ending. A new ending was added when the show was rerun to set up the Mork and Mindy series.
