...interviews. On the Laverne & Shirley get-together, Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams do a sketch in character in which America's favorite brewery workers audition for a reality show. Mary Tyler Moore, who co-produced her special, sat down for one-on-one interviews with co-stars including Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman and Valerie Harper. "I walked around for a couple of days with a major lump in my throat," Moore says. Mike Farrell, M*A*S*H's B.J. Hunnicut and a producer of the reunion, says he signed on "for quality control, to make sure...

Once scientists succeed, the possibilities for comedic breeding are unlimited. By scraping cells from the fingernail of Lucille Ball, say, and from one of Ed Asner's eyebrows, a geneticist would have the tools necessary to fertilize the embryo of a child with specific kinds of comedic potential. Though testing so far has only been done on pigs--not a legitimate gauge, since it is hard to distinguish their laugh from an oink-snort--results are promising. Some studios and networks are toying with the idea of "development nurseries" that would venture to create the optimal candidates for sitcom stardom...
