Sure, it was a fantasy. TV always creates a caricature. Lenny and Squiggy weren't typical of anything either. Garry Marshall was trying to cash in on the Sha-Na-Na, Grease thing. Grease the theatrical musical, not the movie which came later.

I liked Sha Na Na the variety show with Bowser.
Happy. Days I can take or leave.

Grease the theatrical musical, not the movie which came later. I always thought “American Graffiti” was one of the influences.
