Plot Overview

Notes

  • The episode is set in the spring of 1966.
  • Despite being central cast members for much of the show's earlier run, neither Anson Williams nor Donny Most make appearances as their characters, Potsie Weber and Ralph Malph. This, despite the fact both were included on a newly-photographed TV Guide cover (from July 1984), along with Ron Howard and other then-current and recently departed cast members (including Pat Morita, Lydia Goodfriend, Heather O'Rourke and others), and even more importantly both were longtime friends of the Cunninghams and would assuredly be invited to Joanie and Chachi's wedding. (Perhaps they arrived later?) Potsie and Ralph appear only via archive footage during the series' closing montage, under which Elvis Presley's "Memories" plays.
  • In Howard's toast, he remarks that he and Marion raised "two beautiful children" ... another reference to Chuck (who in early episodes was the Cunninghams' oldest son) never having existed (today, perjoratively referred to as Chuck Cunnigham Syndrome). A few fans caught this ... and apparently, so did Tom Bosley, as a blooper reel allegedly exists that has him asking, "Where's Chuck?"
