I thought this was going to be the "proxy wedding" episode but I guess that comes later. Richie, who was drafted and then sent to Greenland for a year (this is pre-Tonkin-Gulf-Incident), proposes to Lori Beth by letter. It would cost $800 for her to travel there for the wedding, so everyone offers her money, except Howard, who wants to join the Pfister Country Club. Then Marion, on her behalf, goes on
Dreams Come True, which is like the real-life
Queen for a Day. Anyhow, it's nice to see LB again (despite another anachronistic hairstyle this season), and it's sweet how happy Richie's family is for the young couple, so I'm saying C+.
Notes:
- Lyle Waggoner is not used particularly well as host Bobby Burns, but he'd be back in '84 as Frederick Hamilton.
- Patricia Lentz is Emily Sitts here and would be a Doctor's Receptionist the next year.
- Kathryn Fuller has her first of three HD roles, as Helen Hanley. She also did a couple Laverne & Shirley cameos around then.
- Why hello there, Brad Blaisdell, not yet Mike the Bartender on Three's Company, here as Lou, a role he seems to reprise in '82, go figure.
- LB lives fourteen blocks away from the Cunninghams, whether in a sorority house or an apartment, I have no idea.
