Episode 243 – Back to the Beach (1987)

Annette, done up in a red dress with white polka-dots like it's still the 1960s, comes down a walkway to the beach. Fishbone is everywhere.

Beach Month ends with the loving parody of the genre, where Frankie and Annette rekindle their marriage, their son falls in with punks, and their daughter falls in love with a genial surf bum. It’s packed with cameos from 1960s sitcom stars, musicians, and a whole lot of green-screened surfing.

Starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, Devin Sladin, Lori Loughlin, Tommy Hinkley, Connie Stevens, Don Adams, Bob Denver, and Pee-Wee Herman. Written by Peter Krikes, Steve Meerson, and Christopher Thompson. Directed by Lyndall Hobbs.
