Laverne & Shirley

Starring Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams

Laverne & Shirley, a spin-off of the popular sitcom Happy Days, aired on ABC from 1976 to 1983. The girls were roommates who had jobs as bottlecappers at a Milwaukee brewery. By the second season Laverne & Shirley was the most-watched television show in America, with ratings that surpassed those of Happy Days.

Both shows were produced at Paramount Television—Happy Days on Stage 19 and Laverne & Shirley on Stage 20. Garry Marshall (brother of star Penny Marshall) was the creator of both shows.

The characters Laverne and Shirley were introduced to viewers as friends of “The Fonz,” Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli. This of course was the very popular character played by Henry Winkler on Happy Days. Not surprisingly, characters from Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley made occasional guest appearances on each other’s shows.

The theme song from the series, Making Our Dreams Come True, was released as a single and became a top 30 hit in 1976.

Garry Marshall
There’s no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it.

From Season 3: Airport ’59
Shirley: Laverne, I’m telling you, flying is safer than driving! Nobody has ever crashed into a cloud!
Laverne: Yeah, well nobody ever fell 40,000 feet from a DeSoto, either.
