Lowell Ganz Interview P2

Listen Later

This week we welcome Lowell Ganz back for part two of our interview.  In these two hours we cover:

  • The trouble with The Odyssey Couple
  • The furniture in Take My Furniture Please
  • The stories behind the appearances of Hugh Hefner, Bobby Riggs and Rob Reiner
  • Why there was a series finale when most 5-season shows don’t get that chance
  • What the plans were if there was a S6
  • Lowell’s move to Happy Days
  • How he and Mark Rothman accidentally created Laverne and Shirley
  • Some of his shorter-lived such as Busting Loose, Making It, and Joanie Loves Chachi
  • Casting of two of his earliest movies – Night Shift and Splash
  • How three of his movies were turned into TV shows: Gung Ho, A League Of Their Own and Parenthood. The latter two were turned into TV series – twice!
