For this spin-off from Happy Days, of which I actually knew very little beyond the opening credits (and the great tribute paid to it in Wayne's World), I had to rely on a posting from Dailymotion to find an episode from the year I needed to watch. Honestly, every time I find myself using Dailymotion to watch something that can't be found anywhere else I'm surprised that the site is still running.
I got a little bit of everything that I needed from this episode: some clever hijinks featuring the odd couple housemates; hijinks featuring Squiggy and Lenny; and hijinks from the most notable guest star of the show: a horny, malfunctioning robot that attacks Laverne in a toy store, leading to an attempt by to sue the toy company that turns into a light treatise on the failings of the criminal justice system.
Running as the top show for two years straight is obviously a testament to the popularity of Happy Days launching the spin-off but, then again, Happy Days was only the top show for one year, so L&S must have connected to viewers more deeply.
Here's the link to the video for as long as it (and the site) remains accessible: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ynmna
