I think "Happy Days" had moved into the early 1960s by the time this episode aired.


* In the ''Series/HappyDays'' episode "My Favorite Orkan", [[Creator/RobinWilliams Ork]] is watching ''The Andy Griffith Show'' on TV in the Cunningham family living room. He comments, "I like that boy Opie", but then asks why an earth boy has a martian name.[[note]]This is an ActorAllusion, as Richard Cunningham is portrayed by the same actor as Opie. AnachronismStew also plays a role here, as ''Happy Days'' is set in TheFifties, while ''The Andy Griffith Show'' didn't debut on television until 1960, which would have made Ron Howard six years old at the time, despite him being in his early 20s during the filming of this episode.[[/note]]
