Laverne and Shirley Season 6 Intro

[Gleek16121]

Even though I miss these old days I'm happy to live in a generation were youtube gives me the power to re-live these times!

[kduideo]

if this was suppose to be the 1960's....Why did their clothes and hair look so late 70s???

[jaw123456789123]

I always thought Laverne was easy (sexually),and Shirley was a bit stuck up

[beastycookiemonster]

what is the episode at 1:02

[TheMashwatcher585]

who would you take? penny,cindy, or pam dawber?

[luxioification]

ash ketchum said throwing stars is dangerous

[KiCreativeStudio]

Before Sex and the City, it was called Lavern and Shirley.

[larrystarstruck]

I find it interesting that they move to LA and somehow, Lenny and Squiggy end up there too.

[Beatles0223]

I love it when they kiss the poster board of The Beatles as they're rushing out the door!

[msmithstud]

producers actually wanted Cindy to work the week she was to deliver. I read this on Penny Marshall's IMDB page.

[laneatlileden]

i remember at the very end it was only laverne and there was a number on the show you could call if you wanted shirley back. anyone else remember that.

[bakaboy2000]

Was this the last time Cindy Williams worked?

[christheone8773]

@bakaboy2000 Cindy Williams worked steadily in sitcoms and in movies - at the time when she was canned from Laverne and Shirley, she was pregnant and she didn't want her pregnancy to interfere with the show-

[PvtPyle17]

OK, Laverne and Shirley leave their home, Milwaukee and move to LA and the whole crew follows them? Why mess up a good thing?

[ORANGES99]

Even the opening credits to L&S are far more entertaining than most tv these days.

So glad we got to see L&S here in the UK. Brings back such great memories.

[christheone8773]

Even though the setting for this season takes place in 1965, none of the hairstyles or clothes reflect that time- at 1:01, there is a black guy with an Afro - I thought that afros weren't popular till the late 60s!

[kduideo]

I agree with all you say....look at MASH.

[arhuxtable]

That was a touch of the then-real life-earth years,1980-81.

[christheone8773]

@arhuxtable This show would have been more appealling if the music, hairstyles and clothing reflected the setting of the times-

[kduideo]

@christheone8773 I AGREE LIKE MASH. AND HAPPY DAYS

[Neville6000]

@christheone8773: They did-for 1965-1966.

[woohooboy]

You know a show has jumped the shark when the lead characters, annoying neighbours, the on/off boyfriend and even the parents ALL packed up and leave one place only to move to the same location together!!!!!......

As enjoyable as "L&S" was, the shift to California was something that just didn't quite work and from this point onwards, the show began to decline, not only in ratings but in it's scripts as well.....

[Oceanpacifica1968]

@woohooboy It was FAR better the final season, when Shirley, Lenny, and Edna all left.

[woohooboy]

@Oceanpacifica1968 - Perhaps, but it's rather silly calling a show "Laverne & Shirley" when one of the principal characters is no longer with the series.

The final season was also a case of too little too late. By that point, viewer interest had waned and the show was quietly heading towards it's end......

[Hollywoodsteve]

So ALL the characters moved to Cali?

[vjmlhds]

@Hollywoodsteve

Try to follow me...

Laverne, Shirley, Lenny, and Squiggy all get laid off from Schott's Brewery due to their jobs becoming automated, so the girls decide to try for a fresh start on the left coast, and the guys drive them there in an ice cream truck they had just bought.

Carmine wanted to stay close to Shirley and try his luck at being a star in Hollywood, and Frank & Edna went along for moral support, and wound up staying and opening a little diner.

There you go.

[christheone8773]

@vjmlhds actually, the episode was when Laverne, Shirley and all the other bottle cappers got called into the break room so that Max Shotz could tell them that he just got an automated bottle capper that would increase productivity much faster, so much so that he didn't need the manual bottle cappers anymore - seeing that there was NOTHING for them in Milwaukee anymore, they decided to head out West, since Frank (Laverne's father) was contemplating selling the Pizza Bowl anyway-

[vjmlhds]

@christheone8773

That's pretty much what I said.

The guy before me asked why THE WHOLE BUNCH of them headed West, not about the particular episode where it all happened.

[christheone8773]

@vjmlhds my apologies-

[MDCDALTX]

this season's theme has a noticeable disco tone to it, even though they are still in the 60s

[amityville4ever]

yes, Laverne & Shirley went down hill when they move to California, but I loved all episodes that had both Penny & Cindy in them.

[DorisDayFanatic]

I never loved the CA seasons...it really started to lose it's charm here. Especially after Shirley left...but even before that. Cowboy Bill's or whatever it was just wasn't the same as the Pizza Bowl. =/

[jmjfanss]

@DorisDayFanatic

But it's still better than most of the b.s. passed as tv today.

[DorisDayFanatic]

@jmjfanss Heck yes! TV today is awful. I actually started to watch the California seasons again recently and like them better this time. I think they just take some getting used to. I definitely like Milwaukee better, but some of the California episodes are gold!!! =D

[jmjfanss]

@DorisDayFanatic

TV's been awful since 1992.

[DorisDayFanatic]

@jmjfanss I agree, and unfortunately 1992 is the year that I was born, so TV has been awful my entire life! I've grown up on classic TV, and I can't stand anything on TV today, so I'm so grateful to have reruns of shows like Laverne & Shirley on DVD to watch whenever I want. =)

[jmjfanss]

@DorisDayFanatic

With the exception of some shows today, your right about this.

[arhuxtable]

Yep. Very much since the Cosby Show ended that year after 8 seasons. There was no historic sitcom since that one.

[jmjfanss]

@arhuxtable

and I Blame MTV and the Real world for this.

come on friends, survivor, they are all crap

just like music.

[kduideo]

@jmjfanss ITS JEWS

[jmjfanss]

@kduideo

CLAIMED TO THE JEWISH!

[kduideo]

@jmjfanss NO OFFENSE but it's money and the jews.

[jmjfanss]

@kduideo

who claimed to be a jewish.

[loungelizard5000]

True.

[level242]

This is when they jumped the shark.

[carpalton]

True, though it probably kept them on the air for a few extra seasons. Their ratings had gone down and they probably should have been canceled, but the move to California -- with new characters, a new set, and skimpier outfits for everyone -- helped them run three more years.

[dcguy30]

@carpalton But hadn't the ratings gone down due to a schedule change?

[Jantv81]

@carpalton Love them until the day I die. Cindy WIlliams is a great actress and a very sweet person.

[mooky9669]

yeah...it went downhill after this

[luxioification]

@level242 it was happy days they did that

[chubbylilloser85]

@level242 Im from the UK and we dont really have the term 'Jump the shark' I Know it was based on fonzies shark jump from happy days. is It where a show just sells out/goes over the top/outside of the boundries of realitiy just to get viewers?
