  • Are you a fan of the classic sitcom, Laverne and Shirley? It was a groundbreaking show that has really stood the test of time. It produced some of the most memorable characters in pop culture history and was integral in showcasing that women could be the leads of shows without having them simply be housewives whose only role was to further the storylines of their male counterparts. Plus, it was brilliantly written, acted, and directed. All of that led to a show that many consider being among the finest of its era.

    If you're a fan of Laverne and Shirley, you're likely always on the lookout for facts about the show that you might not have known. If so, you're in the right place. In this video, we take a look at some lesser-known facts that you might not be aware of about Laverne and Shirley. We talk about the origins of the show, and how it indirectly came about because of a completely unrelated sitcom that failed. We also talk about how some of the partnerships from the show were actually established long before Laverne and Shirley came about. This includes the working relationship between the two leads, Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, as well as the classic characters Lenny and Squiggy, played by Michael McKean and David Lander.
    We also talk about the origins of the chant at the beginning of the show, as well as the origins of the (gross?) drink that Laverne always drank: Pepsi milk. And we go over the interesting connection between the show and The Godfather, as well as how the set of the show was one that many fans recognized from a previous sitcom. So check out this video today, as Facts Verse presents: Little-Known Laverne & Shirley Facts That You Probably Missed!

He was the one whom Archie was always calling a "Meathead" and a "dumb polack."

    This episode was super well done. Great insight! This had the best explanation of the Shlemeil/Schlamazel origins. Thank you! Although saying Hey Landlord had a killer theme? bleh. L&S, The Jeffersons & One Day At a Time were killer. I had no idea McKean and Lander were a comedy troop together in college. Pretty cool

    I have Laverne And Shirley on dvd, I raised my children ever since they were all babies on the shows. They LITERALLY laugh at the stars, and they would create their own shows acting like them. Even when Penny Marshall passed away my daughter came running up to crying and blubbering, we both did, since she was part of my generation. But in her honor my family and I all had Milk and Pepsi -- (Which BTW, is DELICIOUS!! together they taste like a warm melted Pepsi ice cream floats) I think as a dad I did a good thing upgrading my Generation X

    I love Laverne and Shirley! I got to stay up til 9pm, on the nights it was on, as a kid. (Yes, i'm that old) Lol I'm glad they made them alittle softer from the happy days episode. Shirley shouldnt be easy 🙂 I have the boxed set of all the seasons and I've seen every episode a gazillion times. Watching it through the lens of 2022 tho, some parts make me uncomfortable. They feel alittle rapey. Things were accepted then. Thanks for the video.

    All very interesting. I noticed that in the Happy Days episode where they're introduced, Laverne & Shirley are 'loose' women as this video 📹 says. But when they have their own show, they are quite the opposite.

      On their show, Laverne still acted a little "loose," while Shirley was the show's resident "good girl," although she could be somewhat flirtatious sometimes, especially when she was with her boyfriend, Carmine (Eddie Mekka).
      I've often wondered why Shirley eventually married a different man, and then disappeared from the show when she found out that she was pregnant.

      That's silly! You're basing your whole argument on your personal perception of what women are supposed to look like. It's stereotyping!
      What you're suggesting is just as ridiculous as these crazy people who think that Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, is also a man disguised as a woman.

      When "Laverne And Shirley" first went on the air, my parents didn't like the show either. They said that the girls had no talent, that they couldn't sing, dance, act, etc. My sister used to call the program "Laverne And STUPID"!
      Yet, years later, when we watched reruns of "L & S," my mom started saying she liked it, that it was funny. I don't remember if dad ever changed his mind about it.
