A sure sign of a superhero parody is when the hero is prone to crashing into things (think Underdog or George of The Jungle).
For Laverne & Shirley, the season 1 episode, "Super WACS", parodies another ABC series of the period, The Greatest American Hero, especially when the girls (Penny Marshall & Cindy Williams) and Sgt. Squealy (Ron Palillo) discover that the supposedly benevolent alien that gave Laverne a super suit isn't really a noble fellow after all.
Sunn Classic Pictures announcer Brad Crandall guest stars as an Army officer.
This was obviously unworthy of the incidental action music used on Super Friends, Space Stars, and Fonz & The Happy Days Gang for a reason.
Rating: B--.
