In “Love and The Elopement,” Davy plays a confused suitor opposite Karen Valentine. “Love and The Model Apartment” features Davy in a rather unique honeymoon suite.

I was very disappointed when these shows were not aired in my area. I had heard about them while watching METV on Saturday, March 3. On Sunday March 4th I tuned in specifically to see this tribute, but there was some stupid infomercial about memory enhancers on instead. What a waste of air time!!!!!I will not be relying on what METV says it is airing in the future.
I agree, Steph. While it was aired in my area, the channel froze up half into the show and STAYED that way until closing credits. It froze during the scene where Davy and Marsha sit on the couch discussing her being his date for her prom. In other words, right after his appearance.
First they only give him minimum tribute, then they screw that up. Very disappointing.
Let me not forget that just prior to this episode, the aspect ratio of the shows changed. It had been fine, and suddenly everthing was short and squat, with that typical look of having it set wrong. NOTE: This was not our cable provider or our television…
