American Dreams: 1x23

Down the Shore

June 19, 1964: Jim Bunning’s on the mound for the Phils and the Pryors have just begun their annual Wildwood vacation. Roxanne isn’t with them because she’s still mad at a still-distressed Meg. But her rich new friend Carol has invited her to her beach club at “”the Crest.”” And Meg returns the favor, getting Carol and her friends into a Bandstand beach “”hop”” featuring the Kinks (Third Eye Blind does the impersonation). Meanwhile, Helen finally tells Jack about Professor Witt’s advance. Back in town, JJ’s at home—with Beth while Henry’s minding the North Philly store. The neighborhood is steaming and the city pool hasn’t opened yet.
