TWO GUYS creator and co-executive producer Rick
Wiener tells us that Pete's penchant for "Pleasant
Valley Sunday" came out of a rewrite session during
which one of the writers spontaneously broke into
song. (We can only assume he had had a long day!)
Rick reports that everyone started laughing, only to be
reminded of HAPPY DAYS and Richie Cunningham
crooning "I Found My Thrill on Blueberry Hill" when his
love life was going well. Everyone on TWO GUYS
loved the idea, and it worked so well onscreen that
Pete just keeps on singing.
(Rhonda's note: "Pleasant Valley Sunday", written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, was a #1 hit for the Monkees, and was also covered by Code of Ethics.)
