The stories behind the appearances of Hugh Hefner, Bobby Riggs and Rob Reiner
Why there was a series finale when most 5-season shows don’t get that chance
What the plans were if there was a S6
Lowell’s move to Happy Days
How he and Mark Rothman accidentally created Laverne and Shirley
Some of his shorter-lived such as Busting Loose, Making It, and Joanie Loves Chachi
Casting of two of his earliest movies – Night Shift and Splash
How three of his movies were turned into TV shows: Gung Ho, A League Of Their Own and Parenthood. The latter two were turned into TV series – twice!
