Porky has fallen in love with a blond girl named Julie, the daughter of the owner of the soda shop. Porky wants to go on a date with her, so the Rascals teach Porky some good table manners in preparation for Porky's first date. The gang set up a restaurant in a garage for the big date.
Notes/Trivia[]
- Julie may have been named after Julie McWhirter-Dees, who supplied the voice of Porky.
- Julie's dress looks almost reminiscent of that of Taffy Dare from Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, only the skirt is a little longer.
- In one scene, Porky is shown with a jar labeled "H&B Jam" in his hand. Later, Buckwheat rips a piece off a box of H&B Detergent. The H&B brand may be a reference to Hanna-Barbera Productions.
- This episode was later rebroadcast 5 November 1983, during the second season of the series.
- In August 1984, this episode, along with "Cap'n Spanky's Showboat", were tied for having the most airings on ABC with eight airings apiece.
