    First emerging on Happy Days as love interests for Richie and Fonzie, the characters of Laverne DeFazio (Penny Marshall) and Shirley Feeney (Cindy Williams) proved popular enough from their recurring appearances to earn their own show. Debuting in January of 1976, Laverne & Shirley was about two working-class best friends from Milwaukee who capped bottles at the nearby Shotz Brewery, lived together in a basement apartment, and always seemed to get themselves into crazy situations. The gals were complete opposites, from hard-nosed Laverne's trademark "L" that adorned every piece of her clothing, right down to easygoing Shirley's security blanket, the stuffed Boo-Boo Kitty. Their adventures together, including entering a talent contest in "From Suds to Stardom" to unknowingly dating bank robbers in "Dog Day Blind Dates" wouldn't be complete without the talented supporting cast. Shirley's boyfriend, Carmine "The Big Ragoo" Ragusa (Eddie Mekka), kept an eye on the single girls, as did Laverne's gruff "Pop," Frank (Phil Foster), who owned the local bowling alley-cum-restaurant, the Pizza Bowl. The girls' landlady, Edna (Betty Garrett), also had to put up with weird upstairs tenants Lenny (Michael McKean) and Squiggy (David L. Lander), two skirt-chasing best buds who constantly barged into Laverne and Shirley's apartment at the most inopportune times. Season 1 highlights include: a visit from "The Fonz" (Henry Winkler) in "The Society Party" and "The Bachelor Party"; a bowling tournament that goes hilariously awry in "Bowling for Razzberries"; and the girls' panic when a delivery man faints in their living room in "How Do You Say 'Are You Dead?' In German?" Even though Laverne & Shirley first appeared on TV more than 20 years ago, the comedy and slapstick scenes are still laugh-out-loud funny. Christina Urban, Barnes & Noble

    December 11, 2007: Watching Laverne & Shirley brings me back to my high school days since I was 15 years old when the show first aired. If you like good comedy, this first season is for you. Laugh with Laverne, Shirley, Carmine, Lenny & Squiggy. The Fonz is in the first two episodes as well.
