"One Heckuva Note," introduction

On August 21, 1979, barely a month before "One Heckuva Note" aired, its Rev. Shooting Script was finished.  Although this was cutting it close, there would still be at least one significant omission.  But first, I'll share some aspects of the script before we get to dialogue and stage directions:







Thoughts:
  • Who is Supervisor Benjie?  Is he possibly at the omitted Meckler's Department Store scene?  (More on that later.)
  • I have no idea who Tom Kelly and Sandy Williamson are.
  • The season would start on September 13th, so you can understand the urgency on reshooting the credits.
  • I don't remember Laverne sliding on the waxed floor.  It would've been fun to see Carmine arm-wrestling the boys.  They did shoot Frank watching Edna and Carmine dance, but he could hardly be described as enthusiastic.
  • The boys' costumes at Meckler's are below.
