Goofs

A key plot point involves Martin Sheen's character (who is age 20) having an arrest at age 17. No park ranger, law officer or court personnel would have that information. In Florida, juvenile court records (under age 18) are sealed.

Film Development

I don't know much about film development, but I don't think Bud was doing it correctly. After taking a roll, he went into the bathroom and used it for a "dark" room, except the room wasn't dark at all - ever. When Porter came home and caught him, Bud opened the door and left it open. Porter opened it and looked inside. Then when Sandy was helping him, they left the door open and it was light inside. Did I miss something? Bud complained that his film was over-exposed...you THINK???

Anyway, this was a pretty good episode besides the film part. A young Martin Sheen appears in this episode, and he's always easy on the eyes. His characters story was pretty well developed, considering it was a half-hour show.
