Synopsis by Hal Erickson
After a visit to a local coffee house, Shirley (Cindy Williams) becomes a full-fledged member of the beatnik generation--sunglasses, dirty hair, moth-eaten sweater and all. Not wishing to see her roomate tread the same road as Jack Keruoac, Laverne (Penny Marshall) dedicates herself to "curing" Shirley. Singer Art Garfunkel appears as Krasnow (aka "Mighty Oak") in this episode, which is highlighted by Cindy Williams' unforgettable "scarf dance", accompanied by Penny Marshall on the bongos!
