	Laverne & Shirley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Laverne and Shirley was a popular American television situation comedy which ran on ABC from 1976 to 1983.
		In 1980, all of the remaining characters in Laverne and Shirley, and therefore the setting of the show, moved from Milwaukee to Southern California.
		Laverne and Shirley took jobs at a department store in the gift wrapping department, Frank and Edna opened a country and western restaurant called Cowboy Bill's, and Carmine started doing singing telegrams and working as an actor.

	Laverne and Shirley
		Shirley was portrayed as interested in marriage, yet she was not sure that Carmine was "the one"; instead of settling, she kept her independence and her friendship with Carmine.
		Laverne and Shirley was an early prime-time proponent of women's rights and placed much value in the viewpoints and experiences of 50's women, suggesting that even in that decade women could be independent.
		Laverne and Shirley may have been a female "odd-couple", Shirley fanatically neat and Laverne hopelessly sloppy, but they balanced each other and provided a system of mutual support demonstrating that women could compete in the world of work as well as in the world of ideas.

	Amazon.com: DVD: Laverne & Shirley - The Complete First Season (1975) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Laverne and Shirley was a spinoff from Happy Days from an episode from the 1975-76 season ("So I told her 'Laverne, you have a mouth like a sewer!' Then she curls up her chubby little fist and goes BAM!"- landing her date Richie on the floor).
		Laverne DeFazio (Penny Marshall, who guested on The Odd Couple and Bob Newhart and later director) was the more street-smart one, was sarcastic and irreverent, with a heart of gold behind the rough talk (and of course, had her "L" stitched on most of her clothes).
		Laverne is chosen by a policeman she has a crush on to investigate in a stakeout (the culprit is easily spotted wearing one of Shirley's poodle skirts and one of Laverne's sweaters with the L on it).

	Laverne and Shirley Fanfiction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The way Lenny and Squiggy interact with Laverne and Shirley, behavior that is apparently stuck in the same pattern developed in childhood, continued throughout their onscreen life as co-workers and neighbors.
		Laverne willingly hangs out with Lenny by the middle of the show's run; if Shirley's on a date and she can't get one, she can be found with the boys, watching a movie.
		Lenny looks at Shirley with the eyes of a little brother; he's annoyed by her primness, her inability to play his little-boy games, and yet is awed by her intelligence, the ease with which she learns.

		Laverne and Shirley jumped the shark when Shirley got married at the hospital in a surgical gown to a man who was covered from head to toe in bandages.
		Laverne always threatened Shirley with violence, but when she pulled Shirley's hair and kicked her in the coochie I was appalled.

		They were and they did: Laverne And Shirley ran contemporaneously with its parent programme and the two were nip and tuck at the top of the US TV ratings for a while, holding down positions one and two, in either order.
		In short, although Laverne And Shirley was rare in that it starred two women and was also distinctly blue-collar, it was stereotypical and rode easy laughs, based on goofy, scarcely believable situations.
		There were two spin-offs - children's animated shows Laverne And Shirley In The Army (1981-82) and Laverne And Shirley With The Fonz (1982-83), with Penny Marshall voicing Laverne in both, Cindy Williams voicing Shirley in the former and Lynn Marie Stewart in the latter.

		But nearly two decades earlier, Marshall wasn't in the big leagues yet; she was blue-collar ditz Laverne DeFazio, half of a blind double date for Winkler's Fonzie and Ron Howard's Richie Cunningham on a 1976 Happy Days episode.
		The other half, of course, was Shirley Feeney, Laverne's starry-eyed roommate and coworker at the Shotz Brewery in 1950s Milwaukee, played by Cindy Williams.
		On the set, a monitor is displaying vintage Laverne & Shirley scenes; alternately amused and self-critical, Marshall and Williams join the throng watching them perform a series of Lucy-like pratfalls and wild contortions.
