My parents watched the show. When I was a kid Lenny & Squiggy were definitely my favorite characters.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I had no idea they were doing them BEFORE Laverne & Shirley. I wonder if they had to relinquish any rights or ownership of those characters.
