Best advice ever.

They were on in reruns in the late 80s that how I remember happy days and laverne and shirley

Yep..then,there's company, facts of life, love boat

Cindy Williams was hysterical. I watched this show sporadically; but when I did, I always watched it for her!✌️

It came on right after Happy Days

2 of my faves too!

Same here. By the way I do not look like this my real name is Joe Pettengill.

Wish those days were back.

@@valeriekehrt7566 Me too.

Same.

I did too and it was always something you just didn't want to miss. I miss it right now!

Their all gone now, not just Cindy 😢

I think Micheal Mckean is still alive. I heard they are making a Spinal Tap 2 movie with all the original people.

Both Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams died at age 75.

and Penny Marshall, and Garry Marshall and David L Lander 😢, luckily we still have (my personal crush 😄) Lenny...Michael McKean is GREAT in everything he does!

Carmine is gone now too. RIP Eddie Mekka.

Truth

That’s right!😊👍

@vwlssnvwls3262: It sure did lose something. I don't watch regular t.v. anymore except for the channels that show old t.v. series. And of coarse, I have my favorites on dvd.

TOTALLY. I actually hated Happy Days . But LOVED Laverne & Shirley.

Lenny’s still alive.

Thought he was gone too.@@Phillyfan45

@@craigpennington1251Nah. He was Chuck McGill in Better Call Saul and is coming back for the sequel movie for This Is Spinal Tap.

Fonzi 😢too?!

@@Dani-ICU-RNHenry Winkler wasn’t a regular cast member. He was a crossover

Like you, most of my family was alive then, now they're all gone😢

Your comment is so true. It made me cry.

Amen!very well said ❤

And these people that we loved so much are going away too. 💕 I cherish these innocent shows from my childhood. RIP Cindy,Penny, Garry, squiggy (David) Erin, Tom Bosley. 💕 Thanks for everything❤️

@@happycat3399 It's ironic how Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams both died at age 75.

And Gary Marshall was known as a great guy and great boss. Checked his ego at the door, as it should be.😀

Same and same. ❤

Yes! Same!

❤❤❤❤❤❤

& Penny

And now. Eddie Mekka.

Wow so many died

And Gary Marshall :(

Only Cindy Williams and Michael McKean are left.

The entire cast.

Same here

Eddie mekka is dancing and singing in heaven. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

RIP to David Lander ("Squiggy"), Betty Garrett, Phil Foster and Garry & Penny Marshall🙏

Oh so sad. 😕 Life is far too short. Bless. Xx ❤️

RIP Penny Marshall

@@sandraandrews9907 yea I did not know gary passed as well till just now, we still have cindy williams though

Thats what I miss about the 70s an early 80s. You felt like you were watching with millions of other people at the same time. Can't replace that.

You will. The universe is an eternal engine. Once it resets again, we do it all over. Again, and again, and again. Of course, we never remember the times before, except now and then we get this thing called deja vu. Yes, you really have been in that room before, a countless number of times.

Weirdly, Happy Days itself was spun off from a single episode of "Love, American Style" called "Love and the Happy Days" (not from the film "American Graffiti" as you might suspect even though Ron Howard and Cindy Williams were in that...purely coincidental).

@@FlamingoKicker Idk that never knew there was a show or movie called LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE. Good 2 know. Thanks 4 that info.

And Jonie Loves Chachi.

​@@FlamingoKicker I used to watch Love American Style. I didn't see Love and the Happy Days, but I heard about it

Fyi happy days was a spin off of love American style

Hello from Milwaukee!!

Did your luscious hair come in handy later in life? As in not losing it and not getting thin?? Just curious. I too was an oddly chubby kid up til 8th great. I lost a ton of weight, got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and grew about 5 inches over the summer lol. But although I’m in good shape now, I STILL feel like the cat kid who needs to work at looking decent.

Michael McKean and David L. Lander, who played Lenny and Squiggly, were actually high school friends in real life.

Most of the TV star from the 70's are dropping like flies.

@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc yes it's sad to see them pass away so many have

And Cindy 😢

i agree

Same here, I remember this was one of the few American shows that was shown in England.I kept on watching this show when my family moved to the states.LAVERNE and SHIRLEY was a show that is so near and dear to me.

As I mentioned, I grew up in Milwaukee during the 70's. When this show first aired I was 7 going on 8. I had such a crush on Shirley, Cindy Williams. Ironically there was a girl who live a few houses down named Cindy who looked very similar to her. So I obviously had a crush on her as well. But that's not the point. Happy Days was one of my favorites as a young boy. The Fonz was "cool". He always defended his friends. When Cindy and Penny guest starred on Happy Days, and Shirley "dated" Ritchie, it was a great crossover that you really wanted to keep seeing. There are so many different things I loved about this show. The ladies friendship was so strong. Like sisters almost. Plus this show didn't rely on overt and blatant sexuality. Yes there was innuendo but as a kid I didn't get most of the offhanded jokes until the reruns...lol. Lenny and Squiggy were goofs, complete goofballs but again as friends they'd be there, well they'd try. Successfully? Not always. But their hearts were always in it. Laverne's dad reminded me of my Mom's father. My Grandpa. He was a big, husky man. Big arms, and very very boisterous, loud, and more loud. My Grandma was the opposite. She was the most soft spoken lady, but an extremely strong woman! She adored her kids. Grandpa was loud and intimidating especially for a little boy who grew up with fights and loud arguments. That for me was unnerving. But my Grandfather was a great man. Sadly I didn't get much time with them. They both passed before I was 10. There was a lot of characters on TV I connected with as a boy. Living in a alcoholic home was one more reason I used 📺TV📺 as an escape. So many of the shows I loved I had a similarity to, a kinship with, or there was a character I saw as a hero I wished was in my house at times to save me. Fonzie was that guy in Happy Days. TV gets a bad rap for the violence, at times the brutality, at other times the overt or as some say the unnecessary sexuality or sexual deviants. But just because you've seen it as a child growing up it doesn't always mean that when you become an adult you'll mimic that behavior. For example, my Dad was not the most faithful man. Now he wasn't a man who "beat" his family, HOWEVER if a man lays a hand on a woman ONCE, THAT'S ONE TOO MANY TIMES! Same with a child. Now that said we also had an extremely abusive neighbor. Looking back I wish I could have done more. But again I was between 5-8 yrs old, and the cops weren't to quick to believe a kid. But perseverance paid off! But I can't begin to say how afraid i was for that lady. These shows showed how people, respectful and decent people how they treated one another. I grew up seeing my Mom cry wondering where my dad was. I vowed to NEVER EVER PUT ANYONE THROUGH THAT! Nor would I EVER, NEVER lay one finger on any lady! Movies and 📺TV📺 shows back in the 70's were by far 1000% better than anything they show now. FAMILY was a priority! There were true friendships, honesty, great families, and a lot of fun! From Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, Emergency(Squad 51), Bob Newhart, The Odd Couple, Bewitched, and my ALL-TIME FAVORITE M*A*S*H!! So many wonderful memories, so many incredible shows, movies, and those created so many wonderful memories, childhood adventures, and as I said, for me it was an escape. The 70's were an absolute EPIC TIME! I MISS THE SHOWS, THE PEOPLE, THE FRIENDSHIPS, THE LIFESTYLE, AND MOST OF THE EVERYTHING THE 70's OFFERED. No offense but the 2020's have been 💩 💩 on every level.

July, 2023 & now we've also lost Cindi. Thank goodness for technology, we still relish them.

Lenny the lone wolf is the only one left

And the fonz

I tried drinking milk and Pepsi together and it was disgusting.

@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc in the words of the greatest speaker of all time; “Damn..! That was nhaasty.” -Cleveland Orenthal Brown One taste test was all that anyone needed (excluding-L&S Stan’s) to know that combo was ASS!

@@Unhappy_us_citizen 😆😆😆😆

Mine, too. I especially, loved Three's Company.

Looking at it now seems so dated yet it was 1995!
