To Beanie or Not to Beanie - S9-E12

Factual error: When Mr. And Mrs. Cunningham are talking to the Fonz in their bed about Joanie going to college, Mr. Cunningham is wearing a digital watch and those didn't exist in the 50s - 60s when the show takes place.

Richie Cunningham: A shark? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
Fonzie: Stupid, yes. Also dumb. But it is something I've gotta do.
Richie Cunningham: Fonz, you're not jumping over garbage cans on a bike. You're jumping over a shark. On nothing! On a couple of little skis! One little slip and chomp! Chomp! Chomp.
Fonzie: Thanks a lot for your support. Look, I was challenged. I gotta jump.

More quotes from Happy Days

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.

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