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. >

Well that is kinda sad >

My favorite L&S moment was when Squiggy had to stay at the girls' apartment, and the next morning after he left for work, Laverne came out of the bathroom and said, "I don't know how he did it, but he left a ring around the mirror." >

Dayum. 2023 ain’t playing. At this rate no stars are going to be left. >

We will still have billions of stars in the great beyond. >

The number of celebrities who have passed recently where only “a brief illness” has been given as cause, is very high. I’m wondering what the true cause of death is. No conspiracy theory here, just concerned as there have been an uptick in those 55-75 years of age with no direct cause listed.
