Today in L&S history… March 9, 1982: “That’s Entertainment” airs. Frank and Carmine enter into a debate about which generation served up the best entertainment. This episode is chock full of absolutely delightful bops and bits, but I decided to spotlight Penny Marshall and Eddie Mekka paying homage to Eleanor Powell and Fred Astaire by tap dancing to “Steppin’ Out With My Baby.” Written by: Etan McElroy, Larry Strawther, and Shelly Goldstein. Directed by: Gary Menteer. #laverneandshirley #pennym

As we head into premiere week for SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES (which I will obviously be attending), I would like to remind everyone that before there was Spinal Tap, there was Lenny & the Squigtones. And for those of you who love Lenny & the Squigtones… my friend Natalie Lander is picking up her dad’s mantle. In November, she will be doing a stage version of Lenny & the Squigtones at the Garry Marshall Theatre playing — what else? — Squiggy’s daughter. Will let you know when tickets go on
