This Week in Television History: May 2018 PART II


As always, the further we go back in Hollywood history,
the more that fact and legend become intertwined.
It's hard to say where the truth really lies.


May 10, 1983
Laverne & Shirley ended its 8 season run.

The show was a spin-off from Happy Days, as the two lead characters were originally introduced on that series as acquaintances of Fonzie. 

Set in roughly the same time period as Happy Days, the Laverne & Shirley timeline started in approximately 1958, when the series began, through 1967, when the series ended (A January 1975 episode of its progenitor "Happy Days", had a story about the November 1956 presidential election).

To quote the Bicentennial Minute, "And that's the way it was".


Stay Tuned
