The Ballad of Joanie and Chachi - S11-E2
Visible crew/equipment: After Chachi walks out of the college classroom, when Joanie takes a seat and starts crying the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen, in the wideshot.
Visible crew/equipment: When Fonzie and Chachi are wearing their tuxes, Chachi nervously picks up the telephone for no reason, and just as he walks around the table we can see set lighting at the top of the screen, over the window.
Visible crew/equipment: When Don comes into the garage to apply for the job, the T-mark can be seen on the floor by Fonzie's feet.
The Fonz: You're dreaming about a girl you've never met?
Richie Cunningham: Come on, Fonz, haven't you ever dreamed?
The Fonz: Hey I'm not the dreamer! I'm the dreamee.
Trivia: In many episodes you can see a pennant near the jukebox that reads Stacey vertically. That's in homage to Henry Winkler's wife, Stacey Weitzman.
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.
