The Skating Rink (3x468)

:

The Skating Rink follows Tuck, a farm boy whose family home seems to exist in the Great Depression, even though everything else around them is from the 1970s. Could it be a sci-fi time portal situation? Tuck’s Pa doesn’t care for his son’s odd ways - for example, it drives him crazy that Tuck chooses to walk home from school instead of riding the bus. What a little hellion! Fortunately for Tuck, a big city ice skating guy has decided to build a huge skating rink in this small farm town. It’s obviously a terrible business decision, but lucky for him the short ends before he’s totally ruined. The skating rink's owner somehow guesses that Tuck would make a great figure skater if he gave it a shot, and he’s right! From there, it’s a matter of building up Tuck’s confidence so he can put on a show for the town. But what will Pa think? Is he still fixated on the school bus thing?
