How was Carmine used on L&S when Cindy Williams left the Show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Anyone know how the Carmine character was used when Shirley left at the beginning of the 82-83?

He was used about the same, though stories tended to feature him more. I guess the reason was only Laverne, Carmine, Squiggy, and Frank DeFazio remained from the original cast. I do not know why they had to milk this show until it was bone dry instead of leading the cow to slaughter and put it and the viewer out of their misery. By the way, the final episode, as it turned out to be, was a story about Carmine wanting to make it big in the theater. Weak storyline from a by then weak series.

Yeah -- He got a part in HAIR, on Broadway.

Carmine should have married Shirley. It would have made more sense.

After all those cold showers, Carmine would have gotten his payoff during the honeymoon. Of course, he'd also have to put up with Shirley's nagging the rest of his life, but whaddya gonna do...?
