This week I ran into two different references to Laverne & Shirley. On this past Monday's Warehouse 13, there was a running joke throughout the episode between Claudia and Jinks about which one of them is Laverne and which one is Shirley. Both of them had wanted to be Laverne. On today's Man vs. Food Nation on the Travel Channel, there was a tribute to Laverne & Shirley featuring the host, Adam Richman, and Jeremy, the Milwaukee resident who was taking on the challenge in the episode.
I never saw Laverne & Shirley live, but had seen some re-runs. I remember them being funny, and I thought Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams were totally believable as best friends. The opening sequence is legendary and has been parodied many times, including on tonight's Man vs. Food Nation episode. My personality is probably closer to being Shirley, the perky, optimistic one.
So does that make Mr. Y Laverne? :)
