In this episode, the boys look back at EVEN MORE Saturday morning 'toons inspired by other properties, including \"The Oddball Couple,\" \"The Robonic Stooges,\" \"Laverne and Shirley in the Army,\" and \"The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang\" (among others). Also, Gilbert reads \"The Little Match Girl,\" Mr. T tackles \"A Doll's House,\" Dom DeLuise stars in a forgettable \"Flintstones\" knockoff and Jamie Farr supplies scripts for \"The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan.\" PLUS: \"Milton the Monster\"! The genius of Chuck Jones (and Friz Freleng)! David ALMOST meets Lucille Ball! Jerry breaks down the backstory of \"The Beatles\" cartoons! And Frank (ill-advisedly) pitches an animated homage to \"The Sunshine Boys\"! Learn more about your ad choices.
