Weekdays at 2:30p ET | 11:30a PT and Sunday at 3p ET | 12p PT

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.

Laverne and Shirley are exited-they are getting their first job in Hollywood-a chance to play stunt women (dressed in Pebbles Flintstones constmes) in a movie! They may even get to meet blond hunk Troy Donahue himself! The girls have to be lifted up on claws for the bedrock-style stone age theme-and they are not very cooperative. But just as the girls (and the behind the scenes crew) is ready to give up, guess who walks in?
