      Happy Days is often out of sync by a year or two from the time setting intended. The setting for this episode is supposed to have been in Spring 1962. In one scene, Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" speech is referenced. However, that speech was given at the March on Washington in 1963.

    Don't bother
    Awful singing and dancing. Again. Roger and Chachi just annoying. Both think they can sing but both talentless. Happy Days is getting hard to watch. At least Sit on It, Bucko, Hunk, wah wah cc wah isn't mentioned much anymore.
