"Fat City Holiday"September 27, 1979
C+
I'm not a fan of the two-friends-go-to-a-health-spa-run-by-psychos plot, as seen on Ellen in '95 and (much worse) Roseanne in '96. In this case, in Roger Garrett's story, Laverne and Shirley aren't even customers, they're trainees, so they have even more reason to leave. Still, the Lenny & Squiggy appearance helped, and I did smile at the sequence where the girls break into the locker filled with forbidden food. Note that this episode is set over Columbus Day Weekend.
In the Three Degrees of Garry Marshall game, Donovan Scott, who's Rollo here, would the following year appear as Castor Oyl in Robin Williams's Popeye.
