Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This episode hauls out "Standad Sitcom Situation #4001", in which one of the main characters allows a unexpected burst of authority to go to his or her head. In this instance, Shirley (Cindy Williams) gets a promotion at the brewery, moving from the bottle-cap assembly line to a supervisory position. Before long, the newly arrogant Shirley is driving everyone crazy--especially Laverne (Penny Marshall)--with her "revolutionary" ideas about improving efficiency.
