Smacksy Sunday Link: Betty, Please


This is the latest reason that I love YouTube. I have found my favorite scene from my favorite sitcom, circa 1980. Please note that my undying love for this scene resulted in my high school nickname "Betty Please." (At least I hope that's why they called me that.) I went on to work in many restaurants in my waitressing career and there were many shifts that went down just like this.
Enjoy.

  1. I loved L&S, but I don't remember this episode. Was it after they moved to California, because I kind of stopped watching when they left the Cheese State.

  2. Still in Milwaukee. Lenny inherits a cafe from his Uncle called, "Lazlo's Place." He re-opens it with the name, "Dead Lazlo's Place" and the ladies try to run it. Hilarity ensues. Mr. Defazzio saves the day in the end...

  4. And now we know how close those actresses were to getting seriously injured on each and every episode.

    That was awesome. I think I'm half Penny Marshall.

  7. at our school, when we have the kids rest their heads on their mats, i was instructed to hum a lullabye to them. for some reason, the L&S theme song is what i came up with and has stuck. and what's more, the kids now hum along with me. next i plan on teaching them the opening up-n-down dance moves.

  8. i love it. and the thought of dera humming it to her waldorf kids cracks me up. i used to watch L&S every day after school in 6th grade. there is a lot more to that story but it is probably more appropriate on my own blog.
