That clip was torture, the song was torture, the yearbook thing was torture ... thank you! I loved it.

I turned that song off after 15 seconds...I couldn't stand it. I also didn't want to sully my memories of "Sixteen Reasons" playing in that scene from Mulholland Dr. (I had never heard Connie's original before that.) Oh, Naomi & Laura Harring...
L&S is a show I watched religiously when I was 11, but I would never consider revisiting it now on TV Land or wherever it plays. It was the very definition of a "timeslot hit." Take away Happy Days and Three's Company, and would L&S have even survived?

Come on, now, John, you can't talk up Laverne & Shirley without giving props to Lenny and the Squigtones...

<img src="http://cover6.cduniverse.com/CDUCoverArt/Music/Large/superd_1243759.jpg"> Muzzle's "Betty Pickup" Actually a pretty good 90's pop album. At least the first four songs. Kinda like "Frosting On the Beater"!
My fave L & S moment comes in the episode "The Robbery" from 1978. The apartment is broken into at night while the girls are asleep. Shirley hears something and tries to wake Laverne but can't get out of her bed since she tucks herself in so tight. When Laverne is finally woken from her mess of sheets and blankets, her head pops out at the foot of the bed and she has to quietly free Shirl so they can arm themselves to attack the burglar. luvvaht.

I miss the wildly inappropriate television tie-in album. I mean, they still exist, but they're completely calculated now. I'm sure no one in Garry Marshall's production bungalow was saying, "The show premieres this year, then we roll out the merchandise, the specialty monogrammed sweaters, the board game, culminating with the album and, then, Laverne And Shirley - The Broadway Musical!"

I would totally go see that musical.
