Starring: Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Marion Ross, Tom Bosley, Erin Moran
Factual error: The Cunninghams are going to the movies, and Ralph asks Joanie what they are going to see. She says "Psycho" which was made in 1960. The series was set between 1955-1965, this episode would have been set in '57.
Other mistake: June Lockhart is referred to verbally as 'The Honourable Judge McKay', but the end credits say 'Judge MacBride'.
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: In season one, whatever happened to Chuck Cunningham? He was only in a few episodes.
