It's hard to believe both actresses are gone now, I absolutely loved this show when I was growing up in the '70S and '80S, thanks for the memories ladies and rip to both of them
and Penny Marshall, and Garry Marshall and David L Lander 😢, luckily we still have (my personal crush 😄) Lenny...Michael McKean is GREAT in everything he does!
With all that made me laugh, I cried my eyes out at the end because all it did was remind me of the time gone by when I was with my family. Having lost both parents young, life got so hard. These shows and moments bring me back to that time when my parents were alive, life was innocent and safer, it goes by so so fast and once it's gone, that's forever. Thank you to those who value these moments and preserve the best times of our lives. It's so different today, seeing these shows means more to people like us that were young watching them than anyone today can understand. We appreciate your upload.
And these people that we loved so much are going away too. 💕 I cherish these innocent shows from my childhood. RIP Cindy,Penny, Garry, squiggy (David) Erin, Tom Bosley. 💕 Thanks for everything❤️
I always loved Laverne & Shirley even more than Happy Days. But how I miss those care free days of television, each week anticipating the next bunch of antics to make us laugh and feel good for 30 minutes to an hour. I am not sure when it lost it's way, but television lost that magic somewhere in the past couple decades.
@vwlssnvwls3262: It sure did lose something. I don't watch regular t.v. anymore except for the channels that show old t.v. series. And of coarse, I have my favorites on dvd.
I was 25, my 51 yr old daughter was 2. I heard one of the young women at work tell a co-worker she could do such and such that evening as long as she was home in time to see Laverne and Shirley. I didn't watch it regularly, but for some reason that one incident became a memory. Watching now it's so easy to see how this show is remembered so fondly by those who grew up with it. Love and blessings to you all. ❤
Garry Marshall's shows were a big part of my childhood/early teenage years. The Odd Couple, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, and Bosom Buddies. Didn't care much for Joanie Loves Chachi, though. Rest in peace, Cindy Williams(1947-2023).
Was great to be at a taping in 1978, the one I refer to as "the murphy bed episode." McKean and Lander musically warming up the studio audience was a blast. Great memories from such a great cast on a great show!
I'd forgotten how much I LOVED this show, nothing ever truly disappears from TV - well, almost. Series like this are well loved by many, thank you for uploading 🙏🌻
I was a teenager when these were new. lol remember my age because my grandma died and my grandfather came to live with us I had turned 17 exactly. My grandfather absolutely loved this show. when it was time for Laverne and Shirley he would dip him out a big Bowl of ice cream and sit back and watch his favorite show Laverne and Shirley while pigging out on his big Bowl of ice cream HEHE. God Rest his soul and my loving parents as well. I'm in no hurry to leave this world but when it is I have only one thing to say. Lord take me Home again 😢
This was one of the best parts of my teens. Happy days started when I started junior high school. Then the Laverne and Shirley show, then Mork and Mindy spin offs. I've watched the reruns for years, and the comedy still holds up some 45 years later. May they rest in peace. 🕊️
Rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️ to all that passed away they are going to be greatly missed by us all my favorite TV show all the cast members and staff are awesome God bless you all
So, "Happy Days" spun more than L & S, they also spun "Mork & Mindy". So much of my childhood was spent watching ALL these shows! The writing was spot on for it's time and is STILL great to watch today!! Glad to see all the cast got along and still do to this day. Not EVERY show can say that. This is just one of the classics that will never get old. Great cast, this show had it all.....
Weirdly, Happy Days itself was spun off from a single episode of "Love, American Style" called "Love and the Happy Days" (not from the film "American Graffiti" as you might suspect even though Ron Howard and Cindy Williams were in that...purely coincidental).
Always loved the theme music to this show,loved the characters and storylines, awesome acting too! Rest in peace Eddie meeka,penny marshall, making smiles in heaven 😄😇
"Stay tuned for the ABC Monday night movie" It takes me back to the days when you watched what was on, not whatever you wanted, when you wanted. It made you appreciate it so much more. Great times!!!
You will. The universe is an eternal engine. Once it resets again, we do it all over. Again, and again, and again. Of course, we never remember the times before, except now and then we get this thing called deja vu. Yes, you really have been in that room before, a countless number of times.
As a kid growing up in Milwaukee in the 70's, Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley were two shows that I loved. Yes the Milwaukee nostalgia was there, but heck I was what 10 years old? So that wasn't the reason. I loved the Fonz. I wanted to be "cool". I was a fat kid. So I was the first one that got picked on. One High Schooler even threw lit matches in my hair. Being Chippewa Indian, my hair was always thick and longer. So POOOF! That didn't change until I fought back, and later went on a massive diet and went from 250lbs. to 145 lbs! When I went back to school that year, people didn't know who I was. I was a lineman for the football team. Now I was 5'9" 145 lbs. long hair, leather coat, and I had a new attitude. These shows didn't cause this. But they showed me how things are very different when you LOOK DIFFERENT! As a little kid I had a massive crush on Shirley. There was a girl named Cindy who lived down the road a few houses, and she looked like her. Granted again I was 10, she was 18. But hey a crush is a crush for a kid. These shows gave me an escape. Back then I needed it. So if your kids are quiet, not very positive, skittish, or just don't want to go outside. TALK TO THEM! Being bullied and alone can really hurt a kid's head. Or burned in my case.
Did your luscious hair come in handy later in life? As in not losing it and not getting thin?? Just curious. I too was an oddly chubby kid up til 8th great. I lost a ton of weight, got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and grew about 5 inches over the summer lol. But although I’m in good shape now, I STILL feel like the cat kid who needs to work at looking decent.
I was born in 79 grew up watching Laverne and Shirley and Happy Days since i was a baby and man they brought so many great memories growing up. Rest in Peace to the ones no longer with us
My friend works at Paramount. He took me on a golf cart to the outdoor set where they filmed the Laverne and Shirley intro. I was born in 1971, L&S and Happy Days was a huge part of my childhood.
The last time we've had great comedies like this is when Friends was on the air. We need more shows like these because laughter releases so much stress in our bodies!
WoW!! Thanks for uploading this. I watched it everyday when i was 5 to 8 yrs old or so after my dad and I picked my grandmother up everyday at 3 p.m. at the Standard Knitting Mill in Knoxville TN. I have this entire series on dvd and even met Henry Winkler once. A super SUPER nice man. He was such a pleasure to meet.
How I loved this show back in the day,never been no other like it. This show holds very special memories for me....I will always love Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams. I love this show always and forever....r.i.p. Penny Marshall
Same here, I remember this was one of the few American shows that was shown in England.I kept on watching this show when my family moved to the states.LAVERNE and SHIRLEY was a show that is so near and dear to me.
As I mentioned, I grew up in Milwaukee during the 70's. When this show first aired I was 7 going on 8. I had such a crush on Shirley, Cindy Williams. Ironically there was a girl who live a few houses down named Cindy who looked very similar to her. So I obviously had a crush on her as well. But that's not the point. Happy Days was one of my favorites as a young boy. The Fonz was "cool". He always defended his friends. When Cindy and Penny guest starred on Happy Days, and Shirley "dated" Ritchie, it was a great crossover that you really wanted to keep seeing. There are so many different things I loved about this show. The ladies friendship was so strong. Like sisters almost. Plus this show didn't rely on overt and blatant sexuality. Yes there was innuendo but as a kid I didn't get most of the offhanded jokes until the reruns...lol. Lenny and Squiggy were goofs, complete goofballs but again as friends they'd be there, well they'd try. Successfully? Not always. But their hearts were always in it. Laverne's dad reminded me of my Mom's father. My Grandpa. He was a big, husky man. Big arms, and very very boisterous, loud, and more loud. My Grandma was the opposite. She was the most soft spoken lady, but an extremely strong woman! She adored her kids. Grandpa was loud and intimidating especially for a little boy who grew up with fights and loud arguments. That for me was unnerving. But my Grandfather was a great man. Sadly I didn't get much time with them. They both passed before I was 10. There was a lot of characters on TV I connected with as a boy. Living in a alcoholic home was one more reason I used 📺TV📺 as an escape. So many of the shows I loved I had a similarity to, a kinship with, or there was a character I saw as a hero I wished was in my house at times to save me. Fonzie was that guy in Happy Days. TV gets a bad rap for the violence, at times the brutality, at other times the overt or as some say the unnecessary sexuality or sexual deviants. But just because you've seen it as a child growing up it doesn't always mean that when you become an adult you'll mimic that behavior. For example, my Dad was not the most faithful man. Now he wasn't a man who "beat" his family, HOWEVER if a man lays a hand on a woman ONCE, THAT'S ONE TOO MANY TIMES! Same with a child. Now that said we also had an extremely abusive neighbor. Looking back I wish I could have done more. But again I was between 5-8 yrs old, and the cops weren't to quick to believe a kid. But perseverance paid off! But I can't begin to say how afraid i was for that lady. These shows showed how people, respectful and decent people how they treated one another. I grew up seeing my Mom cry wondering where my dad was. I vowed to NEVER EVER PUT ANYONE THROUGH THAT! Nor would I EVER, NEVER lay one finger on any lady! Movies and 📺TV📺 shows back in the 70's were by far 1000% better than anything they show now. FAMILY was a priority! There were true friendships, honesty, great families, and a lot of fun! From Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, Emergency(Squad 51), Bob Newhart, The Odd Couple, Bewitched, and my ALL-TIME FAVORITE M*A*S*H!! So many wonderful memories, so many incredible shows, movies, and those created so many wonderful memories, childhood adventures, and as I said, for me it was an escape. The 70's were an absolute EPIC TIME! I MISS THE SHOWS, THE PEOPLE, THE FRIENDSHIPS, THE LIFESTYLE, AND MOST OF THE EVERYTHING THE 70's OFFERED. No offense but the 2020's have been 💩 💩 on every level.
My sister and I spent every Saturday morning in front of the TV set, eating cereal❤❤❤❤❤best memories from Laverne and Shirley. Thanks for the memories💕💋
Shouldn't we use the beans for the gas? I forgot how great Penny was at being not so proper. And that smile and honking laugh as she looked at the actual "proper" gal. I totally forgot that scene, THANK YOU! 😊 As one comedian once said, Farts are FUNNY! Farts are 💩💩 without the mess! And it's so damn funny honking a egg next to someone who doesn't get the joke. I also forgot how great Henry Winkler and Ron Howard were on Laverne & Shirley. They obviously owned Happy Days. But this "crossover" made these two shows so much better. I actually lived down the road from Leon's. That's the ice cream🍦restaurant that was the basis for Arnold's.【(A)】I have to say thanks again! These scenes, clips, and bloopers are bringing back some great memories, childhood experiences, and awesome dreams. 👌 EPIC VIDEO!
Rest in peace, Laverne and Shirley, Penny and Cindy. Thank you for your comedy and you are both legends. Such a wonderful show growing up and you girls were so funny!❤
