"Normie" is actually actor Jimmy Baio, cousin of Scott. A fun fact is that Ellen Travolta who plays his mother in this episode also played Scott's mom in both Happy Days and Charles in Charge! Crazy eh?!

[@Chariots1981]

I agree. Jimmy Baio was much better than Scott and I loved Soap (even though it was a kind of forbidden show that I was barely allowed to watch as kid-- kind of revolutionary at the time).

[@Diostillrocks]

Jimmy Baio is much different than Scott. He has very different political beliefs. There is talk that they don't speak to one another now.

[@susankracke2770]

I wonder how she found the time to be other shows at the time she was on little house on the prairie . And besides love boat she was on the movie playing a blind and deaf girl. She played with Patty Duke . She did really good in that show and on live boat . And she probably played on other shows and commercials I guess . And she does a very good job of acting . And she still is a good actor even today.

Wholesome. Anybody else wish these modern times were the same?

[@mamaya1971]

I remember this episode

[@maiajones9765]

merlyn jannett well what's the name of of the episode

[@frenchieseverine4514]

It is in season 2 and there is also another story.It's called Rocky plus another plot for the episode.You can find it on DVD or youtube..

[@hoagie1978]

As a kid I had a jersey t shirt like Rocky's and a haircut like Normy's.

[@brendalg4]

What makes you a boy or girl has nothing to do with what you wear or what you like to do. Notice how she acts like a stereotypical boy and wants to be called Rocky. If this happened today, she would be encouraged to transition into a male instead of giving her time to decide what she wants to do. Melissa's character on Little House On The Prairie was definitely a girl.. but not afraid to get dirty or punch someone out when they deserved it. "Hard working folks only smell bad to people who have nothing better than stick their noses in the air! Well, whenever you stick your nose in the air with me, Nellie Oleson, it's going to get punched! (Laura to Nellie in, 2.01 The Richest Man in Walnut Grove)"

[@brendalg4]

My point was I feel like transgenders seeing this are going to feel offended and think she should have be encouraged to transition into a male. They will probably feel this episode needs to never be on the air. I feel we have to be very careful because we don't want to push cis tomboys to transition or transgenders to conform to society's interpretation of gender either. In the past, tomboys were told "You need to start acting like a girl!" I feel today's tomboys are going to get constantly asked "Do you want to be a boy?"

[@dknytodd]

biologically a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl. period. no sex change alters that. EVER!

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

There’s a difference between having gender dysphoria and liking to wear more masculine or more feminine clothes

[@brendalg4]

@@iAmMadeOfSoup you're completely missing my point. If this was on television today, the girl would have been transitioned into a boy. They wouldn't have said oh you just like dressing like a boy. Don't believe me? Just look at all the stories of parents who are forcing their children to transition because they like something that is seen as being for the opposite gender. Look at the story of James on the Save James Facebook page. Simply because he showed interest in something feminine at one point, his mother is trying to force him to be a girl. He doesn't want to be a girl.

[@earnold9099]

This is sooooo dated. To see the kids playing they are Starsky and Hutch and discussing the Fonz!! I loved it but kids today would not understand it!!!

[@karenhowardsmith3149]

So true. If you mention any of the actors or actresses names or their their characters names and the shows that they where in your kid is going to ask you Laura Ingalls who? Or if you mention the Fonz on Happy Days they are going to look at you totally clueless like mom who is the Fonz? And you set them in front of the tv when Happy Days is on or even Little House and you tell to watch these shows don’t be surprised if they ask you where’s the remote? Me and my husband don’t have any kids, but I’ve baby sitted a lot of them that to know that they would rather watch The Teenage Mutanted Ninja Turtles or something else that more exciting.

[@imcurlyblue]

Of course kids wouldn’t understand it wasn’t part of their time. And talking about the fonz back then it was not dated at the time. This is a silly statement. 🤷‍♀️

[@TitoTimTravels]

Why would they understand it? Do we understand their new references? Generally not. We have our youth, they have theirs. Not a problem.
