RIP, I always liked watching reruns of the Milwaukee era of the show on weekday mornings during school holidays, lol.

We are finishing off the 60’s and 70’s stars.

By 2030, it will be 3 celebrities per day.

It was Shotz Beer. If it was meant to represent another beer, my guess would be Schlitz, which was big at the time.

Anyway, I thought she was good in “American Graffiti.”

Believe I remember that one. I also remember the Fonz and the Happy Days gang cartoon that was on back in the early 1980s. By that time, it seemed that every popular TV show had a cartoon version of it on Saturday mornings, lol.
