This year, the Shotz Brewery Talent Show is being supervised by Laverne (Penny Marshall) and Shirley (Cindy Williams). Alas, it looks like the festivities are on the fast track to disaster when the never-seen Mr. Shotz insists that his no-talent son Max Jr. (Ed Greenberg) be given a solo star turn. The episode's highlight is a rendition (or is it rendering) of "Night After Night", supposedly written by Lenny and Squiggy (but actually penned by the "genuine" Lenny, Michael McKean). Marjorie Marshall and Francine Williams, the real-life mothers of series stars Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, respectively appear as Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Bellini.
