JOANIE LOVES CHACHI: "My Dinner with Chachi"


Full of questionable content, from Joanie thinking her relationship with Chachi depends on her ability to cook to his hiding his food poisoning to spare her feelings, to her dreaming that Mario is married to his father in drag.  So C-.

Notes:
  • Joanie's dream is set fifty years in the future, by which point Erin Moran would be two or three years from death.
  • Annette's hunky, new, younger husband is definitely the Tom Selleck as Magnum P.I. type.
  • The old age makeup is terrible, even for the time.
  • Chachi is a better cook than Joanie, so she jokes that she hopes he'll cook like that every day when they're married and she comes home from work, which in a stronger episode would be cutely feminist.
  • This is the only JLC episode written by Paula A. Roth, who was then in the midst of writing seven HD episodes, although her thirteen for Laverne & Shirley are more notable.
