If Michael McKean aka Lenny get braces or something after the first or second season? I seem to recall his teeth being completely different in the third season.

I kind of noticed that too. But I bet he didn't get braces but got his teeth capped. They were notiably crooked in the first season.

Cindy Williams also had her teeth fixed after the first season.

It's interesting, we are so used to "perfect" looking actors and actresses these days, it's a little shocking when you see videos of pre-1980 shows.

Thanks! I didn't know that could be done.

I kind of had that done myself. Not all of them but my original 2 front teeth (Which came in badly crooked,over time just kind of deteriorated (Even my dentist couldn;t figure out why!) 

So, those were removed over 10 years ago & I have 2 porcelain front
teeth that (thankfully) improved my relations with the opposite gender. 

Go for it or just be a gopher!

Yeah, something happened to his teeth alright.
I started watching L&S Season 4 and Season 5 (on MeTV)and his teeth look nice.Then, 4 days ago I checked out Season 2 from my public library and noticed right away his teeth used to look different. Whatever it was he did, his teeth look nice now.
