Old Show for you to reference #3: Laverne and Shirley
Ladies and Gentlemen, its time to make our dreams come true. You make any rules, we're gonna break em.
Sorry, got caught up in the moment there.
Laverne and Shirley was a 1980's sitcom with two hot tuscaderoes (Happy Days reference there) should have been named Lust and Sexy.
These two girls worked at Shotz beer manufacturing plant, something we can only aspire to be. They were even so cool in the opening credits the put their gloves on a couple of bottles and waved to them. 52 second of the video.
Of course two femme fatales could not carry the show by themselves.
They had the Lone Wolves to help them out. The dynamo duo of Lenny and Squiggy provided for pipsqueak 101 entertainment. Imagine the Fonz (HD reference number 2) split himself into two people. Without the Fonz being whole, his cheesy lines couldn't work on the ladies. Such is the case of Lenny and Squiggy.
L&S jumped the shark in all of its glory as Laverne left the show but not without Squiggy giving her a Lone Wolf jacket of her own.
When somebody asks you about Laverne and Shirley say these three things and nobody will question you about your knowledge of the show:
They were the 80's version of Lucy and Ethel.
They wore poodle skirts all the time.
They were always at the bowling alley drinking beer but you never saw them actually bowl. And Laverne could put away the beer better than Shirley.
I threw in the fourth in case you ever make it onto this show and the Laverne and Shirley Geek is your opponent.
