Barnes & Noble Burbank was the setting for the second in the series of Pop-Cultured events that ran through the month of July every Thursday night.  July 9th was the night for the topic of the 1960s.  Hosted by Herbie J Pilato, the evening was spent with a bubbly Cindy Williams recounting some hilarious moments from her career on “Laverne & Shirley”, and Larry Mathews, the funny guy who played the kid Little Ritchie on “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”  Sitting in the cozy events space in Barnes & Noble, fans were whirled back to the 1960s  era of early television.  Herbie J Pilato, the ever-charming host, has created a little time machine for fans, in this case with co-pilots Cindy Williams and Larry Mathews.  The present day of “reality” shows is discarded, and the enchanting stories of yesteryear’s television programs turns back the clock to the days of the wonderful sitcoms we all loved.
