It was ridiculously silly and as comedies go very slap stick and at times a bit louder than life . but if you let yourself go a bit you could really enjoy it and it was something to look forward to because you knew, even as the most serious minded person, you were guaranteed a couple of good laughs in a show- at least. And that was its appeal.
One of the funniest shows on television at that time. Great actors, great writers, and great directing. Lenny and Squiggy were a very funny comedy team. May David and Penny rest in peace.
I couldn't wait to watch Lavern & Shirley as a youngster and still look for the reruns now in 2023! 😂 I know Shirley died recently as did others on the crew.😰. R.I.P. I hope they know we are still laughing and they are all missed! 🙏💞
I get chills just remembering how much i looked forward to tues night 8 till 9. Happy days.n leverne n shirley. But leverne n shirley was just so much more even. The new show. ❤
I was barely two when Laverne & Shirley was in its last season. I didn't get into this show until about six years ago. It's fun, silly, timeless and entertaining.
When you put Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams in the same sentence as Lucy and Ethel, you know these are icons and the likes we will never see again in our lifetime. Two broke girls came out many years later, but these were the Original Two Broke Girls. RIP Laverne and Shirley.
Love PENNY... WHAT A LIFE! Loves her family, her brother. A dancer and helluva athlete. She crushed it at Battle of The Networks. Transitioned to directing. Back to back $100 million grossing movies. Even as a teenager I wanted Rob Reiner and Penny to stay married. Having said all that when show came on I was always watching the door for Lenny & Squiggy...HA!!
I really do live in Milwaukee. Though I think it was fictitious right? Do you really live out here? If so message me at my TH-cam channel under my Judge Judy cartoons
The songs the boys did - were mostly written my Michael McKean if not all of them. Both guys are/were multi talented. Michael is still active with his work and also active on Twitter. (It amazes me just how active on Twitter he is)
The scene in HI Neighbor where the girls are trying to carry the sleeping Squiggy - HOW on earth did David keep a straight face through that scene. How on earth could the girls even lift him to carry him without hurting themselves. That scene made me giggle.
I moved to Los Angeles just 5 months before the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake. After the quake, I was like, "Meh."...having never experienced an earthquake. I was comparing it to the episode after they moved to Los Angeles, and there was an earthquake that bounced their beds around their bedroom. Then Ed Marinaro swing down on their balcony and said, "That's just the San Andreas Fault saying good morning.". I had no clue we had suffered the worst earthquake in 35 years.
I like to know if lenny is still alive i know the little guy squigy is dead though. I so loved this show growing up with it after the later seventies. In my teens i had the biggest crush on lenny. I remember some of the guys in my schoool would bite their hands to like lenny i found it so crazy at times back in the eighties.
I just realized where "Cramer" got the idea for his entrance. Lenny and Squiggy. I don't watch TV, but is scrolling text like that still being used? Could barely watch this video because of all of the stuff splattered all over the screen.
Michael McKean is now the last surviving original cast member of Laverne & Shirley- R.I.P., Cindy Williams, a.k.a. Shirley!!!
REST IN PEACE CINDY AND PENNY. YOU BOTH WILL BE MISSED.
Wow . Love them all. Can't believe the brilliant beloved Michael McKean is the only surviving one
As silly as the show was, it had a lot of heart!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

and now, Cindy. Farewell.
Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams were magnificent when it came to physical comedy. The show was hilarious!
The show was good, timeless and hilarious

The Lucy and Ethel of my childhood
Great silly show from my childhood. They don't make television that good anymore. RIP cast members.
I get chills just remembering how much i looked forward to tues night 8 till 9. Happy days.n leverne n shirley. But leverne n shirley was just so much more even. The new show. ❤
God bless Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams and David Lander. And of course, Micheal McKean.
One of the best examples of a spinoff being superior to the show that the characters first appeared on. Absolute classic and still timeless!
Mindless entertainment -- loved every minute.
that was the thing - no thinking involved - just sit back empty mindedly and let the girls do all the comedy lifting
I was barely two when Laverne & Shirley was in its last season. I didn't get into this show until about six years ago. It's fun, silly, timeless and entertaining.
Hard to believe Michael McKean is the only one left. God bless him. God bless them all

One of my favorite sitcoms of all time and my city Milwaukee is a plus !

Great photo at the end 😀 What a Group 💜💖💜💖💜
Hello from Milwaukee, I once lived down the street from Laverne & Shirley!!
I really do live in Milwaukee. Though I think it was fictitious right? Do you really live out here? If so message me at my TH-cam channel under my Judge Judy cartoons
Rip David
And Penny and Garry plus Carmine
@@garycarpenter2980 And now Cindy Williams
And Mrs.Babbish and Laverne's Dad
Totally revisting this from my youth while finishing Penny's book. 'highly recommended!!!
They were air so great
In memory of Laverne and Shirley
Omg!!! Love all the songs by Lenny&Squiggy 💜💖💜💖💜
The songs the boys did - were mostly written my Michael McKean if not all of them. Both guys are/were multi talented. Michael is still active with his work and also active on Twitter. (It amazes me just how active on Twitter he is)
One of my favorite sicom ❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of the best show! I remember watching it!
The glorious sass in this segment!
Rhoda is my favorite show, but this show was very good as well. Of course, you cannot imagine two comedy shows that were more different.
R.I.P. Penny Marshall (1943-2018), David L. Lander (1947-2020), and Cindy Wlliams (1947-2023) to all these Guys.
and Eddie Mekka aka Carmine who died Nov 2021.
The scene in HI Neighbor where the girls are trying to carry the sleeping Squiggy - HOW on earth did David keep a straight face through that scene. How on earth could the girls even lift him to carry him without hurting themselves. That scene made me giggle.
So sad that all are gone but Michael.
Michael McKean is so talented. He was excellent as Chuck McGill in Better Call Saul.
This, The Jeffersons, The Facts Of Life, and One Day At A Time were my favorite comedy shows growing up.
I moved to Los Angeles just 5 months before the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake. After the quake, I was like, "Meh."...having never experienced an earthquake. I was comparing it to the episode after they moved to Los Angeles, and there was an earthquake that bounced their beds around their bedroom. Then Ed Marinaro swing down on their balcony and said, "That's just the San Andreas Fault saying good morning.". I had no clue we had suffered the worst earthquake in 35 years.
I can't believe only Michael McKean is left.
The L on Laverne's blouses is what I remember the most
I like to know if lenny is still alive i know the little guy squigy is dead though. I so loved this show growing up with it after the later seventies. In my teens i had the biggest crush on lenny. I remember some of the guys in my schoool would bite their hands to like lenny i found it so crazy at times back in the eighties.
Michael McKean who plays Lenny is alive and still acting on a regular basis
Michael McKean plays Chuck jimmy's brother on, Better call Saul.
And of course, Michael McKean played David St. Hubbins in SPINAL TAP
I just realized where "Cramer" got the idea for his entrance. Lenny and Squiggy. I don't watch TV, but is scrolling text like that still being used? Could barely watch this video because of all of the stuff splattered all over the screen.
7 years? They had 8 seasons
Season 1 aired in mid-season.
Shirley lefted in season 8
The Big Ragu was using Shirley. He dated other girls behind her back, what a heel.
Only Lenny is left
And now, Laverne, Shirley and Squiggy are gone…😢
This show was only good for the first 5 seasons then it went downhill.
Good show except for Penny Marshall she was a lousy actor she's a mean person too
Well, she is dead now
