1976: America’s Favorite Female Comedy Duo: Laverne and Shirley

by K. Gitter

Published May 16, 2017

One of the greatest buddy comedies of the ’70s premiered on January 27th, 1976, when America officially fell in love with Laverne & Shirley. The show, which chronicled the adventures of Milwaukee’s Shotz Brewery workers/roommates Laverne De Fazio and Shirley Feeney, was a spinoff of the hit TV show Happy Days, where their characters—famously played by Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams—were first introduced as love interests for Fonzie and Richie Cunningham. Laverne & Shirley was huge hit with viewers and a ratings winner for ABC during its seven seasons on the air. In honor of its premiere, DoYouRemember takes a look back at other Happy Days spinoffs.
