This is the first of eight WBK stories written by Jewel Jaffe, who played Kathy on Gidget, and Jerry Rannow. The direction by LaHendro is still a little off, especially the timing, but this is the best episode so far. Yes, Rosalie can be blamed for lying, and for involving the Kotters in her imaginary trouble, but she makes her point. (And four decades later, the idea that sex makes girls sluts and boys studs hasn't exactly faded.) This is the first episode where we see what a sweetie Arnold can be. I think the Sweathogs are supposed to be about 16 at this point, since he borrows his father's cab. Notice how very small the group is, with seven boys (Don Stark returns as a Sweathog extra) and maybe four girls. And the time between the start of class and the bell always seems to be about five minutes, unless there's elapsed time, like for a test.
