The girls find themselves organizing this year's Shotz Talent Show, but Mr. Shotz hates all the acts the girls have lined up. Only Edna and Carmine's patriotic tap dance is a hit, which inspires the big boss to give the entire show a patrotic theme. The girls - who were hoping to create a rock and roll themed show - are aghast. Can they get their friends into the show and stil give Mr. Shotz what he wants? On pod, we talk the delightful costumes, the cynical edge in the dialogue, Lenny & The Squigtones, and more! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Would you look at that? It was JUST Valentimes Day! And, beloved listener, please accept our belated gift: the thrilling conclusion to our conversation about the tunes inspired by Beatle significant others. T.J. and Tony talk tender tunes, play some Pattie (Boyd) Cake, and ponder:  

Laverne & Shirley will always go down as one of THE staple shows of my childhood. Do I remember every single episode? No chance – but it is one of the few shows that takes me back to being a little kid growing up in late 70s and early 1980s. And this Christmas Episode from 1976 was a GREAT watch that is highlighted by a fantastic performance by Lenny & The Squigtones.

This week we chat with actor and television icon David L Lander about his legendary role as Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley, his, his lifelong struggle with Multiple Sclerosis and his amazing television career spanning almost 50 years.

W.G. "Snuffy" Walden doesn't read or write music. That didn't stop him from writing the theme for The West Wing. Or Friday Night Lights. Or My So-Called Life. Or Thirtysomething. Or, really, many of your favorite TV shows. Walden's career began as a member of a rock band, and he went on to become a studio musician, even appearing on an episode of Laverne & Shirley as a member of Squiggy's band, "the Squigtones." But his big break, the one that would lead him to a massive career and an Emmy (atop many nominations), came when the creators of Thirtysomething wanted a folkier sound for their show about baby boomers aging into parenthood and responsibility. Walden, who wrote much of the score while trying things out on his guitar, got his moment, and he's scored lots and lots of shows since, including four in production right now. Walden joins Todd to talk about the process of writing music for TV (especially when you're composing for multiple shows at the same time), where The West Wing theme came from, and why he loves Jimi Hendrix.
