This show was my grandfather's favorite. He was very hard of hearing and when it was time for Laverne and Shirley his favorite show lol he would get a big gravy bowl and fill it to the top with ice-cream and go to his room and turn his TV blasting loud and sit in his recliner and watch Laverne and Shirley while eating his ice-cream and that my friend's is one of my childhood memories lol.

[@kmac7689]

I was born May 5, 1977 so I came into liking or I should say loving Laverne & Shirley halfway through the 1977 season because my parents even watched the show. I loved Penny and Cindy and even though Penny is no longer with us I still love her and I still love Cindy. If I had to pick one it would have to be Penny as Laverne because Laverne was always the sassy one and everything and sometimes you need a little sass in your life. I even have also drank milk and Pepsi and it’s not bad

[@enigmawyoming5201]

I can’t believe you failed to mention that Michael McKean (Lenny) played Chuck McGill, brother of Jimmy McGill (Saul Goodman) in Better Call Saul. IMHO, that’s the biggest role of anybody since Laverne and Shirley.

[@enigmawyoming5201]

@@jaysonwallker1648 Henry Winkler only very briefly got a credit in one episode of Laverne and Shirley. And that credit was only a voice as per IMDB of Henry’s credits they give him. But, yes technically Winkler went on to bigger things other than only providing a voice on one episode of Laverne and Shirley.

Wasn’t Michael McKean David St Hubbins in Spinal Tap????

[@joeymorvant161]

Indeed, both the movie and the band.

[@maestromike91971]

I loved this show! One of the Characters was born and raised in my city. Meaning the city I grew up in. He used to come to our junior high mall slayer high school. And it was Eddie Mecha if I’m spelling it right. The big Ragoo what is his nickname in the show. And lLaverne and Shirley Cross to Happy Days. Eddie was in Several happy days episodes. I remember one where I think Ricky needed help for some guys who picked on him and I think , beat him up. But there were three of them. So the Fonze and Eddie came there in a high school gym ? And came to help Richly. The Fonce did his usual, and Eddie sung a line from a song and then used his dancing moves and I don’t know if he had martial arts trying? But he got the other man taken care of, so it was just Richie and the one man who was the boss of their gang. Richie wind it up beating him in the end. That was a great episode and you had the happy days cast and any Mecca in Laverne and Shirley were in episodes of happy days as well. But that was a really nice episode. And the big Ragu character was From my home town. My father was an optician back in the day before they had always lens crafter around different stores so we had a lot of customers and people really like his work so he Had a lot of customers including any Megas father. This is kind of fun to watch when you know the character lives in Andrew up in the same place you but you were dead. He was considerably older than me so I didn’t know him personally but he like I said I want to visit Lowell high school alone around the bases and junior high sometimes junior high sometimes. I have several signed photos of him. He put his real name and The Big Ragoo in Quotes. He is a nice guy. I don’t know what he did after laverne and Shirley? I saw him in an episode of fantasy Island. And I haven’t seen him that much at all lately. I think he may be Broadway? I’m not sure?

[@FactsVerse]

We're happy to know that you love Laverne & Shirley! Which episode is the most memorable for you?

[@maestromike91971]

@@FactsVerse well The one I went over. I think that might have been an episode of Happy Days? But they we’re “Sister shows?” Like All in the Family and “The Jefferson’s . I loved that show as well. I don’t know if you did a show on that? If not, that would be a nice one. The man who played George And the woman who payed their Mad were great actors. And we’re given great roles. You can have a great actor but he could play the wrong character so you don’t know how good he is oh she is very?. There are a lot of shows from the 70s and 80s a few 90s shows I was I didn’t watch a lot of TV in the 90s in the late 80s I was at that age where I was working a part time job time hung around with my friends all the time looking for cute girls be honest, people who would buy us some beers. We had a party is where we all went to someone’s house who his parents were away for the weekend Set an all of us had to drive or a ride with somebody who would drank too much. We didn’t get that drunk anyway. A few but not most. I would like you to please Excuse me for my typos. I know there were a lot of them in my last comments. I have a speak to text feature on my iPad. It’s supposed to be for blind people and people like me who has trouble with his hands and back mostly. We are supposed to be abele to press a button and it is supposed to type what we say. Unfortunately that’s not the case most of the time. A lot of times when we use this feature it either doesn’t understand what we are saying or the correct ways will start to type or at least type the first letter of the next word it thanks we are going to use so it comes out as a mess. I’m sorry but I have an illness I have been battling for five years . I was doing great for the last five years. I worked full time and went to school full time . It took a lot out of me. I then joined the military for 30+ years and they helped me get through med school. I have been in the military part times and had my own practice. Up until a year ago. . They thought it was Covid but it turned out my illness got worse and was stronger.! Having cancer stinks.

[@maestromike91971]

Another one of my favorite episodes, and this is because of the kind things her friends did. Especially Lenny. The episode when Laverne thing she’s pregnant and doesn’t know who the father is or she knows who she made love to but the man ditches her I can’t remember. But she thinks she is pregnant and it’s obviously a big change in the episodes I had this one was more serious and Lenny knows he’s not the father of course. But he asks I f Laverne would marry him. He has a big heart and the see how sweet he really is. And I think. Laverne thinks about it. I mean she knows that he doesn’t make a lot of money and he is a little strange but I believe she entertains lotion but find out say you are smart right now it was a mistake. And everything is happy again. But Laverne has a new respect forLenny.

[@jackietrujillo9612]

Shirley was my favorite on the show. she was funny and also Boo Boo kitty she loved. l miss her. lsn't micheal McKean still alive. All the cast on show pass away. Time flys and everyone gone. l hope Cindy is bury with Boo Boo kitty. Rest in Peace. 🌷

We're a big fan of Shirley too! Thank you so much for your beautiful message. May she find peace. Which Laverne & Shirley episode is the most memorable for you?

[@joeymorvant161]

Well, out of the titular characters, it was Laverne. But, overall, Lenny and Squiggy.

[@maestromike91971]

I love that show! It was really funny but it also had some serious parts. One of the characters in that show, the one I was nicknamed the big Ragu who is surely a boyfriend. He grew up in the same city as me. He went to the same schools much earlier than I did. They used to come to high school a lot and sometimes the junior high we all called him in the big Ragoo. I have numerous signed photos of him. The liver and Shirley show was a crossover show to happy daze Eddie Mecha was in a few episodes. So where laverne and Shirley. There was a really good episode of happy days that I really like. It’s when Richie was being bullied and maybe hit by a group of three guys. So will the Fonze and Eddie came to the place Richard was supposed to be and they took care of the two men so only one man was left who Richie and it up winning the fight I listen all is wel that ends well. My dad was an optician long before well when’s crafters and other businesses that could give me your glasses in an hour. So we had a lot of customers one of them making Ellie’s dad . He would come to the high school and read a lot of people ask questions and sign photos of him mingle. I don’t know I mean in a reacting after the ride and Shirley. I remember seeing him in an episode of fantasy Island. From what I hear Eddie what is a very nice guy. He took dancing lessons and most of his life and singing . I think he’s a bit older now considering he’s gonna know all about me and you guys a.m. now. He might still be going sometime but I kind of doubt it. If he still alive? So happy days and Library and I surely were together. Period meeting Laverne and Shirley and Eddie we’re all episodes of happy days. Another well-known comedian was on a show or an episode of happy days. I would like to say Nanu Nanu. Was Robin Williams playing the character he was well known as playing the alien from outer space. I used to watch the show all the time when I was a kid or an adolescent. It was a very well put together show .
