"Dating Game" wardrobe notes

On November 25, 1980, five weeks before the Laverne & Shirley episode about The Dating Game aired, its Rev. Shooting Script was ready.  But before I get into the actual scenes, here are the wardrobe notes:






With guest stars and regulars (and the semi-regular Ed Marinaro), there were a lot of men to dress.  Note that Lenny is wearing saddle shoes quite a bit this episode.  I like that Squiggy having a Nehru jacket was there from the beginning.  They didn't get very detailed about Jim Lange, and I assume he got to pick out his own shoes.  The character called Gateby on the cast list would become Bob Gatenby by the time of filming.  Frank's wardrobe is unremarkable, since we only see him at his new restaurant, but Carmine and Sonny are pretty snazzy considering they're just hanging out at the girls' place watching TV.
