"Laverne & Shirley" is a sitcom that aired from 1976 to 1983. This "Happy Days" spin-off follows the antics of Laverne DeFazio (played by Penny Marshall) and Shirley Feeney (played by Cindy Williams), two best friends and roommates who work as bottle-cappers at the Shotz Brewery in Milwaukee. The iconic opening theme song, "Making Our Dreams Come True," remains one of the most recognizable TV themes.
"Laverne & Shirley" was a major hit and consistently ranked among the top-rated TV shows during its run. The show's popularity was bolstered by the chemistry between Marshall and Williams, as well as memorable supporting characters like Lenny (Michael McKean) and Squiggy (David L. Lander). Will this one make the S1E1 boy's dreams come true? Listen as they deep dive the show's pilot episode, The Society Party.
