      ADD TRIVIA
      • The famous picture of the clown juggling the balls on Laverne and Shirley's wall was used for the girls' room on The Brady Bunch. Edit
      • This was the first episode to establish Shirley and Carmine's relationship as being an ambiguity, but most episodes to follow would portray them as being more of a steady couple. As time goes by, Shirley and Carmine become more of an item, and Shirley makes it clear that Laverne is never supposed to touch him. Edit
