A spinoff of Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley follows two young friends living in Milwaukee during the 1960s. The perky and positive Shirley Feeney (Cindy Williams) shares an apartment with Laverne DeFazio (Penny Marshall), a tough-talking tomboy. With a cast of characters that includes lovable pests Lenny and Squiggy (Michael McKean and David L. Lander), the girls experience comedic growing pains as they work to make it on their own.

The Rock and Roll Show

Laverne talks her wacky friend Chuck into forming his own band after he plays Beethoven on his harmonica. Laverne is also on a special diet for her ulcer and back at the flat Carmine is trying to stop Laverne from eating all the wrong foods. Chuck shows Laverne his new band, a bunch of geeky looking guys enter and proceed to put Laverne to sleep with their classical playing. Laverne tells Chuck he has to play rock music if he wants to make big money. The guys trust Laverne so much that they've quit their jobs to become big musicians. Laverne tries to show them how to jazz up their act a little, but the results are still terrible. To make things worse, Squiggy has just gotten the band their first job. He tells them that they are to perform in 20 minutes. Laverne has to read out to the massive crowd that the Rolling Stones won't be performing and that instead her friend Chuck's band will be playing instead. Amazingly to everyone, the band plays extremely well and goes over a smash. It turns out they listened to a tune on the radio on the way over and just copied the style.
