"Laverne & Shirley" was a spin-off of which TV show?
Before they were bottling beer at Shotz Brewery or chanting "schlemiel, schlimazel," Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney were just two random dates who showed up on a popular sitcom. These fast-talking Milwaukee girls clicked so well with audiences that TV executives practically tripped over themselves rushing to give them their own show. Which hit series first introduced these future comedy legends?
▼
Correct Answer: Happy Days
"Laverne & Shirley" spun off from "Happy Days" after the characters appeared as dates for Richie and Fonzie in a 1975 episode. The show proved so popular it actually outperformed its parent series in the ratings, landing at #1 for multiple seasons while Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams turned their characters into household names with their physical comedy and undeniable chemistry.
