Bit by bit my childhood is being stripped away. RIP Ms. Williams and thanx for the laughs. >

Yea this getting older shit is starting to sink in.. >

Ya tell me about it, 41.... 42 is coming. Uhg I didn't sign up for this crap. >

I turned 51 yesterday and am having some kind of existential crisis over it. >

I want Michael McKean bubble wrapped, stat. >

Yeah he's the last one of the main cast left. >

Holy shit, never made the connection that Lenny is Chuck McGill. He looks and acts so different that I didn’t recognize him. >

I’m gonna go home and sleep with my wife! >

I told you it wasn’t me! >

I was just thinking about boo boo kitty the other day. >

Oh my god. I'd forgotten all about boo boo kitty! >

I want to get a cat just so I can name it boo-boo kitty. >

This sucks. I grew up watching them and still drink milk and Pepsi sometimes. >

It's called Pilk now and apparently has turned into a thing. >

RIP. Hossenpfeffer Incorporated. >

She was also in American Graffiti >

And in Coppola's The Conversation
A really different role for her too. >


The Conversation

One of my all-time favorite films. >

We like to think of Enemy of the State as a sequel. >

I’m not claiming that either show was a masterpiece, but Laverne and Shirley was funnier much longer than Happy Days. RIP. >

Lenny and squiggly wanting to borrow sheets because theirs are "stiff" >

over restaurant loudspeaker
Pick up, Betty!  Pick up please! >

Oh man, I’m so glad someone else knows this! It’s been decades but I still say “Betty pick up” in my head and it makes me laugh. I didn’t think anyone else found it funny. >

Apparently, she died 5 days ago (25 JAN). >

Awe, man. She's a good one. Definitely a core memory for me watching Laverne and Shirley. RIP
2023 ain't playin >

Totally. I grew up with Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Sanford & Son, Jefferson’s, Mary Tyler Moore….loved when the shows overlapped with the first two >

I don’t know if Im remembering correctly, but I seem to remember Laverne and Shirley showed up in  Scooby Doo episodes, or Scooby and Shaggy showing up on their cartoon series. >

Yeah, the series after Where Are You, with all the weird celebrity guests.  Also had Carol Channing, and the Harlem Globetrotters >

Oh yeah, celebs like  Batman and Robin, Sonny and Cher, Tim Conway, and who could forget the Sandy Duncan. >

Just introduced my spouse to the iconic American Graffiti and had been wondering how she's doing. RIP Cindy 🐈‍⬛ (boo boo kitty forever) >

As a child we had two cats named Laverne and Shirley :( >

For years I've said that once my current cats pass on, I'm committed to being a one cat household. But now you've got me thinking of being a two cats called Lenny and Squiggy household. >

My sister had two hamsters named Lenny and Squiggy. I dropped one accidently when I was a small child. He died. :( >

She wanted to be Princess Leia. >

Here's some of her audition I could see her playing the role, but I think her nerves really just got the best of her here.
Carrie Fisher was playing it much more relaxed, with a almost slightly arrogant demeanor, and with a touch of the old Hollywood transatlantic accent. >

Aww. Literally cursed 2023 when I read the news.
Like to think she's skipping down the golden lane with Penny right now.
Rest in peace, Cindy. >

Oh man she was hilarious in Laverne & Shirley.  75 is too young! >

I find that the older I get, the higher the age I perceive to be "too young" gets. I think I can accept 75 as a decently long life, though. >

that's 15 years from now for me. It's way too young. >

I loved this show as a kid and now I work in a brewery - just a coincidence but a little part of me just died with her. I'll put a glove on the bottling line in her memory. >

Penny also died at 75. Strange >

The article didn't mention her role in The Conversation (1974 Coppola film nominated for best picture).  She could do dramatic roles as well as comedy.  Edit-  It did.  Missed it on first read, probably while scrolling past the giant ad. >

Yup. She had terrific range, but ended up typecast and trapped in a single role. The seventies were particularly virulent about that. >

WTF enough… I can’t take any more.
