Featured Songs:  Carmine singing "Lullaby & Goodnight" to the baby
Strangest Moment:  Fonzie planting a big one on Shirley... and then, seconds later, on Laverne (seriously, did people not think about germs in the 50's??).
Best Insult:  "I’m gonna take you to a doctor, and if he finds out you’re alright, I’m gonna take HIM to a doctor." -Frank, to Laverne
Saddest Moment:  Shirley crying about not being able to go out to Chicago with Laverne.
