This week we welcome Lowell Ganz back for part two of our interview. In these two hours we cover:
- The trouble with The Odyssey Couple
- The furniture in Take My Furniture Please
- The stories behind the appearances of Hugh Hefner, Bobby Riggs and Rob Reiner
- Why there was a series finale when most 5-season shows don’t get that chance
- What the plans were if there was a S6
- Lowell’s move to Happy Days
- How he and Mark Rothman accidentally created Laverne and Shirley
- Some of his shorter-lived such as Busting Loose, Making It, and Joanie Loves Chachi
- Casting of two of his earliest movies – Night Shift and Splash
- How three of his movies were turned into TV shows: Gung Ho, A League Of Their Own and Parenthood. The latter two were turned into TV series – twice!
