Shandling & Zweibel wrote this episode (the thirteenth in the series) that is both Baby-Boomingly nostalgic and cable-friendly tasteless.  (The prison rape joke would probably not have made it nowadays, although the "Nancy reaching orgasm while hiding a dog under her long skirt" sequence might've.)  Garry takes in a smart stray collie but Leonard Smith says this violates the terms of the condo contract.  "Laffie" nonetheless helps rescue Leonard from an oncoming miniature train.  Sixty-one-year-old June Lockhart appears as herself.
