Laverne and Shirley was a hit ABC sitcom with a seven year run of new episodes, from 1976 to 1983. A hipper, younger adaptation of the basic scenario in The Odd Couple, the show starred Penny Marshall as spunky, irresponsible Laverne DeFazio and Cindy Williams as the prim, emotional Shirley Feeney. The program also featured the memorably goofy characters Lenny and Squiggy, played by Michael McKean and David Lander.
