Co-created by Garry Marshall, the show starred his sister Penny Marshall as Laverne De Fazio and Cindy Williams as her roommate Shirley Feeney. The most popular supporting characters were [[Wacky Guy|Wacky Guys]] Lenny and Squiggy, played by Michael McKean and David Lander; other supporting characters included Laverne's dad Frank (Phil Foster) and Shirley's sometime boyfriend Carmine "The Big Ragu" Ragusa (Eddie Mekka). The series ran on [[ABC]] from 1976 to 1983.

There was also a short-lived (13 episodes) animated adaptation in 1981 loosely based on the two-part episode "You're in the Army Now", except the pair ''actually'' join the army, and find that their immediate superior is an anthropomorphic pig - with a bad attitude - named Sergeant Squealy. Among other weird things like werewolves and robots. ([[Hanna-Barbera]] was going through a "weird stage" at the time...)
