Pleasant and Definitely Seventies
20 June 2023
I was 15 years old when this episode first aired, but I don't think I saw it then. The Seventies were kind of a racy time and TLB often reflected that fact, but this episode was one of TLB's sweeter and less silly ones. A few problems that reveal the limitations of the times: 1) assuming nurses are women and doctors are men; 2) how the nurse thanks Doc--yikes! 3) the cocaine-skinny bods in bikinis and short shorts, but thankfully before boob jobs; and 4) the previous reviewer's lack of pop-culture awareness in 1978. Donny and Marie were huge at the time thanks to their eponymous variety show. I knew and loved the inimitable Joe E Ross voice from the cartoon The Hair Bear Bunch, so it was a bonus to see him. He should have gotten top billing. Overall, a pleasant journey down memory lane.
