Starring: Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Marion Ross, Tom Bosley, Erin Moran
Marion: Fairy Godmother - S6-E21
Continuity mistake: Ralph is at Al's after everyone else has left on their dates. He's depressed and as he walks up to a table, you can see a couple of plates of food sitting on it. Then Fonzie comes in (hitting the wall to turn the lights on) and Ralph looks away from the table (he doesn't move otherwise). Then they show the table again - which is completely empty.
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.
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.
