Laverne and Shirley Season 5 Opening Credits

[JOJO22858]

Always loved this show. One of the BEST theme songs of all time, makes me feel

like a kid again hearing it!

[sneezyize]

I think they also updated the dresses, between season 4 & 5 opening, that Laverne & Shirley wear when they meet in opening the two doors (Laverne, the closet and Shirley the front) and also the outfit the Edna wears when she kisses Frank at the Pizza Bowl (the also showed Frank's white hair and mustache for the first time in an opening in season 5). If you notice the dresses that L&S wear are more in keeping with what women would have worn in 1963 - 64 when season 5 eps are set.

[sneezyize]

@sneezyize Also if you notice in the updated scenes, the 1's at the Pizza Bowl (both for Laverne & Edna), L&S at the 2 doors & also the new 1 w/ Carmine & sandwich -- Laverne & Edna's hair is more in keeping w/ what looks like new bouffant hairstyles that would been seen in 1963 - 64 w/ many women of those 2 years. Laverne's hair, even if it wasn't true, in those newly added or updated scenes actually looks like she has set w/ dippity-do that would have also been appropriate in '63 - '64.

the series was better when it was in Milwhakee.

[msmithstud]

:40 LOL

[2XMooreon]

The bottles look they were in a Michelob brewery.

[WizardGlik]

Bitches never heard the word "impossible".

[svhwdwnut]

luv carmine's sandwich falling apart & his dancing

[mikeusat]

....back when sitcoms had good theme songs.

[snoopy64116]

Laverne's father aged rather fast! A couple years before this, his hair was dark!

[ejr1978]

Since I grew up in Milwaukee, of course they showed these episodes on syndication there ALL the time. Thanks for uploading.

[Dimension150]

Excellent bass on audio track of this version!

[ElJefeNLA]

Thank you!, I was playing around with imovie and it turned out nice.

[kduideo]

i agree!!!!!!!!!!!

[fbebeats]

@Dimension150 Yeah the bass used to be bouncier and overpowered the rest of the song in the earlier versions.

one two three four five six seven eight shlemeel, shlamazel hasenphepher incoorporated :)

[nogomet66]

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me exactly what they say before the tune kicks in. PLEASE HELP ME!!

[FaytLinegod]

It's a Yiddish-American hopscotch chant. It goes like this...

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Schlemiel! Schlimazel!

Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!"

[vfreeck]

A local station of mine is syndicating the episodes :-P

[h193013]

wehn first heard about this I thought laverne was a boy

[pimpdogpatrick]

i loved this show when i was little being born in the 80's shows like family ties, alf, and full house were the best. the 80's ruled.

[GingerAnne]

@pimpdogpatrick The 80's did rule!!! to bad we were born IN the 80's and not a bit before so we could of enjoyed it more. I was 1983, how about you? *high fives* Miss those days.

[rugged66]

upbeat in the 5th!!

[mikemiker]

Tiny Shirley grew up and became surprisingly fat.

[Jeffluvs80s]

Coca Cola bottling plant.

[excitationzzz]

I think it's a brewery...

[johnnyv418]

I saw another upload of this same video and it was in a higher pitch. That's also the exact same way how I saw it when I watched the show on Nick@Nite.

[Cavisca]

There are only 4 seasons of L&S on DVD. How about this one? Is there a chance that it will be sometime available too?? I've read somewhere, that starting from the 5th season the production place was different...

[7ShaunMichaels7]

I'd hope the powers that be will release the remaining seasons.

[ElJefeNLA]

I'm black, I know what the projects mean, LOL. What happened to your ex best friend. I would have loved to see you two in action as Laverne and Shirley.

[deliciousd90210]

i love this show so so much me and my ex best friend were the black Laverne and Shilrey of the projects aka Ghetto

i really miss her !

[xkelsxox]

omg! I used to know this theme song by heart, that's how much I loved this show. Thanks for sharing it! :)

[drinklime]

omg i love how penny reacts when the doors collide

[xoerica127]

i love this show

[modelmissymimi]

Oops, sorry. Meant to put a thumbs up for your comment, but I put a thumbs down. My mistake!

[yravni]

Were gonna make our dreams come true, were gonna doit...yes one of my fave daytime sitcoms, it was a little fake and hypothetical ..they had laid back easy ging personalities Lenny and Squiggy (not a care in the world) 2 cul doodes...I repeat two cool dudes.. taht's what they were... they copped a feel of their chicks and left whenever they pleased...(the girls were NOT bitchy... they never pursued to get their driver's licenses etc...)

[um6xr]

SeSeason 5 Opening ason 5 Opening i think mite 4 Season not 5 but you may be right

[castingtherunes]

I always had the hots for Shirley!

[Alex52892]

lmao!!!

[4starcashier]

I always thought Penny Marshall was cuter!

[castingtherunes]

That's like saying I spent far too many hours of my childhood at the dentist. Thank you for the root canal.

[heedb]

Careful....Careful.... A Lot of us here watched it too. The fact that we all love the show and characters is the whole point of this. If you thought it was so "Terrible," why did you even watch it in the first place?

[bostonkid1979]

1979-1980 season. Did anyone else notice that Frank forgets to raise his hand in the air to catch the pizza dough when kissing Edna? He did so in the original theme, but apparently forgot to do so when they updated it for this season.

[ElJefeNLA]

and notice how you can see the shadow of someone throwing the dough over his head as well! And now that you've gotten me started, notice when Laverne drops the tray of beer how it looks set up like the "staged" the whole thing. But it was nice to see it up dated.

[FamilyGuy770]

Did you two also notice how pissed Shirley looks when she is riding Laverne down the street on the bike? She didn't actually smile until the very end.

[jckoby]

@ElJefeNLA some very good points..i noticed the cushion expand when Laverbe drops the beer but did not notice the dough part until you mentioned it.

[auaiao9]

@ElJefeNLA I think the shadow is from the pizza dough coming in.

[kduideo]

thanks i just did.

[KissFreak09]

Yes, this is from the fifth season.

[MarcBookPro]

After doing some research I discovered that you were right, the show was on for eight seasons. The first season threw me off since it was really only a half season with only about 15 episodes. So, that would indeed make this the season five theme.

[ElJefeNLA]

Thank you for confirming that syndication hasn't ruined my memory. ;)

[MarcBookPro]

I believe it was on for seven seasons? The show ran from 76 to 83. And the last three seasons were in CA for sure.

I always thought the last season without Cindy Williams was pointless. The show would have ended much more complete if they had ended with Cindy Williams last episode.

[ElJefeNLA]

I totally agree. I only enjoyed the opening credits because of the kids doing the schlameel, schlamzel part, other than that, that season truly sucked.

[MarcBookPro]

This would be season four.

[ElJefeNLA]

I always thought that this was season 5 because the show was on for 8 years and the last three seasons were in California. But It has been many years and my memory is slipping.

[kdizzle79]

This is from the 1979-80 season, I think.

[ElJefeNLA]

I can't remember because of all the changes made during syndication, but this was the last season in Milwaukee before they moved to California

[tylersid91]

i would like to watch a reunion show of laverne and shirley
