This is another conversational episode, but I actually don't care for it. It's cute but not my favorite to watch.

Episode with no story
LaverneandShirleysucks13 March 2022
After two good previous episodes, I dreaded popping the dvd back in this week for fear of two dud episodes...and my dread was sadly confirmed. This show seems to go in peaks and valleys with a couple of good ones followed by a couple of duds, so i'm going to be hopeful that the next two will be ones that I like lol.
But back to this one now.... Actor Charles Grodin plays himself and meets the girls while getting a bunch of stuffed animals gift wrapped at Bardwells. What transpires next was weird.
Their boss is kind of stern with the girls and Charles Grodin thinks he should be nicer to them. So they make a bet to see if being nicer pays off. (We never see the boss again or what happened with the silly bet. It's just left hanging...not that I really cared though.) The boss leaves the girls to Charles Grodin who accepts a date with Laverne that night when she shouts out her address to him. Like I said, it's all so weird and makes no sense. She just shouts her address to a famous actor after meeting for all of 5 minutes and he actually accepts and says he'll see her later.
When Charles Grodin shows up with a bottle of wine, the whole gang is in the girl's apartment bickering and pretty much acting like their normal selves. After this, nothing of note really happens but a lot of back and forth talking between everyone.
By the time we reach the end Laverne is told that he wasn't there for a date and has no interest in her romantically. So why on earth did he accept her invitation to her home without letting her know this first?! And why show up with a bottle of wine?! Weird.
They try to dig deep for some kind of a point to this mess at the end and say that Charles Grodin made them all be nice to each other after they were bickering. But these characters always bicker and are nice to each other afterwards, so Charles Grodin didn't really have anything to do with that.
The whole thing was just weird, boring and devoid of laughs. And to make it even weirder...at the very end, Carmine wants to take the gang out to dinner and they all accept and walk out of the apartment on their way....with Shirley walking out and still in her robe?! Huh?! We don't see her run back in realizing she's in her robe, so i'm left to assume she just went to the restaurant wearing it?!
I actually thought there was going to be a closer scene where we see her run back in embarrassed that she's in her robe but the credits just rolled as i'm sitting there wondering why they filmed it like that. Strange. I guess by that point in the show the production crew just didn't care about trivial things like that anymore.
I can hear the crew saying to each other, "Just let her walk out with the robe on. No one will probably notice or care" lol.
