We are moving along through the final season of Sha Na Na with episodes 10-14. There are some interesting things happening in these episodes.

Strangest of the episodes was when Frankie Avalon wanted to join Sha Na Na… and they did not want him. It was a fun switch up from what their normal story with guest stars were. They were playing off the Sha Na Na-Frankie Avalon in Grease bit. Avalon performed the Beauty School Drop-Out song from Grease with the Sha Na Na guys in pink dresses.

In the 13th episode, there was a nice shout out to the Lady in the Window, who has been gone this season. Played by Jane Dulo, the guys said that they had missed the insults that she would give to them since she had “moved away.” Johnny then put on a wig and gave some insults to make them feel better. I could not find a reason for the character to be gone, but clearly, this was a way to honor her.

Johnny Paycheck, Andy Gibb, and Mary Macgregor were the other three guest stars among this group of episodes. Paycheck did his famous “Take this Job and Shove It” song on the stage.

Episode 10 had a strange dual song at the end on the stage. First, it was Jocko and Ginger singing Ol’ Black Magic and it was immediately followed up by Lenny singing Daddy’s Home. I have never seen them do two songs in a row.
