At last, we cover the first episode directed by Penny Marshall! In it, Squiggy blackmails Shirley into getting him a date with the new receptionist at Shotz Brewery, which ends up leading to the gal Vivian taking him for a sucker and mooching money and labor off him. Will Laverne, Shirley, and Lenny be able to help Squig get free of this negative relationship? On pod, Lisa talks the personality traits of Squiggy while Chris remarks on Penny's directing (and surprisingly doesn't mind Carmine).
