Melodie Johnson, a personal favorite of mine appeared in a bunch of late '60's/early 70's films and TV and then retired, marrying record producer Bones Howe and became a author. After checking her film resume courtesy of IMDB, I learned she appeared in 3 episodes of L.A.S., so when the first of her episodes came out on the season 1, vol. 2 set I placed it right into my queue. Melodie's episode from this set is called "Love and the high school flop out" and co-stars Barry Gordon as a teen who asks out the waitress at the diner after being dared by his friends. I was smitten with Miss Johnson from the very time I saw this when it originally aired on tv way back in December 1969 and have remembered her all these years. It was like climbing into a time capsule and being wisked back in time watching this episode again. There ought to be a Melodie Johnson revival tribute or something because she is so fetching! 4/7/08
