Quotes

Michael Brooks: Alyssa got kicked off the show because her skirt was too short, Jeff got caught sneaking into Lesley Gore’s dressing room…
Roxanne: But the grammar’s good, right?
Michael Brooks: It’s all lies Roxanne. I don’t know how you could even write this stuff.
Roxanne: I was just trying to spice it up a little bit. (edit)
Meg: What if you were doing something other people think is wrong?
Mrs. Pryor: Meg, all of my life, I’ve pretty much done what other people think is right. Maybe, maybe that doesn’t always work out so well. What I mean is, I think we should be able to choose our own friends.
Meg: But maybe some people really shouldn’t be friends…
Mrs. Pryor: I’d take that chance.

Trivia

add »
The Ford Mustang was introduced in April 1964 and the car in this show definitely was a Mustang. If the timeline was Feb/Mar 1964 then the car should not have been there.
(edit)
Dick Clark introduced Little Anthony & The Imperials' "Shimmy shimmy Ko Ko Bop" as the # 4 or 5 song in his current music countdown. Only problem was the song was a major hit in Jan 1960. Now unless he was giving a countdown of the dancers' favorites, this was a very bogus use of Bandstand footage. (edit)
