"Laverne and Shirley"



"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Schlemeel, Schlemazel, Hasenfeffer incorporated"..

We're Gonna Do it!!! It's TUESDAY and today I'm reminicing about the old Tuesday night ABC Lineup that had "Happy Days", "Laverne & Shirley", "Three's Company" and "Too Close For Comfort" (after "Joannie Loves Chachi" was cancelled)..

The adventures of two crazy young single Jewish Women, LAVERNE DiFAZIO, and SHIRLEY FEENEY, who worked at a Milwaukee Brewery and the two greasers, LENNY and SQUIGGY who hit on them constantly, entertained us between 1976 and 1983 and later in syndication..

The show, like others, was a "Happy Days" spinoff had a very memorable theme song which starts with a Yiddish Hopscotch sequence and goes into "Making Our Dreams Come True" by singer CINDY GRECCO.. The opening sequence has also inspired numerous parodies from "Wayne's World" and "Friends" to "SNL"..

Now check out an episode of the classic show from 1981, in the latter days of the show and it features Legendary Brit Actor ERIC IDLE check it out..
