Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just Al's I think, maybe. Anyway, all the kids hung out there, but it was more malt-shop style -- like the regular Peach Pit, not After Dark.

19 is totally way too young for peak hotness.

Yeah. I'm aiming for 26.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wasn't the Peach Pit the pizza place on Beverly Hills 90210

Yeah, there were a few episodes where bands would play there, usually to try to raise money for something, but it wasn't a regular thing.

Are you ready to be strong?

like the regular Peach Pit, not After Dark

But bands didn't play in the PP during the day ever, did they?

Yes.

Was 90210 the first time there was a teen soap like that? I'd think it was, but what do I know? If there was one before, I wouldn't have been old enough to watch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yup. And the Peach Pit After Dark was a nightclub, like the Bronze. I was wondering if they were innovators. My memory of Happy Days is kinda fuzzy, but my impression of the place was more like a Peach Pit with the odd band, than a nightclub.

No, I don't think so.

I think so too, Jesse. It was very scandalous at the time. I used to watch it on Wednesday nights in college. My roommates and I would sit around with books on our laps, skimming during the commercials. and then we'd watch Melrose Place Good times.

I think Al's had room for bands to play because they had some space open for people to dance to the jukebox. The Peach Pit didn't have the space. Usually, on Happy Days, when there was a band playing at Al's, the plot was something like, "We need to raise $500" "I know, we can have a dance marathon!" "We'll do it at Al's!"
