"Breaker, Breaker" opens with Bookman lending his CB radio to the Evans family until his wife cools down, his handle the unsubtle 'Super Stud!' Michael picks up the receiver and talks to 'Fun Girl,' and has to come up with a handle on short notice, so he calls himself 'JJ!' Lying about his age (16 not 22) he hits it off with 'Fun Girl,' who turns out not to be the dancer she claims, a wheelchair-bound girl suffering from multiple sclerosis. Michael is forced to come clean about his true identity after being caught by JJ, while 'Fun Girl' gets busted when Michael meets the real Nancy Colton (Sharon Brown). In the era of Citizens Band radio everyone could pretend to be whoever they wanted to be, acknowledged by shows like GOOD TIMES and CHICO AND THE MAN ("Ready When You Are, CB"). Sharon Brown was the pretty daughter of Johnny 'Bookman' Brown, the same age as Ralph Carter.
