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.
Factual error: The show is set in the fifties but Fonzie has a Mustang hubcap on the wall of his garage. The first Mustang came out in 1964.
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: Richie and Joanie had an older brother named Chuck, who was played by two different actors, and who only appeared during the first season of the show, because the character of Chuck was written off the show. This plot plot has since absorbed into popular culture: known as "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome," it refers to a character's (either leading or supporting) unexplained disappearance from a series.
Question: How could the play "The Rainmaker" still be performed after Fonzie scared off the director?

Answer: If all the actors and hands know their roles well enough they could perform the play reasonably well even without a director.
