Laverne
& Shirley - The Third Season
Laverne & Shirley was the massively successful spin-off
of mega-hit Happy Days, at the time the episodes on this new DVD set aired
(1977-78) Laverne & Shirley was the top show in the nation,
followed closely by Happy Days.
Basically the program centers on the lightweight, slapstick misadventures
of a couple of young brewery workers who manage, in season 3 alone, to
commandeer an aircraft, get tossed around a wrestling ring, take in a
race horse, become lady cops... you get the idea.
The humor is tame and obvious as was the style of the day; slapstick
comedy all the way, broader than Lucy even. It certainly won't tax your
brain - your patience, maybe.
Although set in the early sixties, the show's sensibilities are rooted
firmly in the 1970s, a trait the show shares with its parent. For my money,
Laverne & Shirley works better than Happy Days,
if only because of the more frenetic pace, the exaggerated performances,
and the lead and supporting actor's charms - especially Michael McKean
and David L. Lander as Lenny and Squiggy, who took their nutty neighbor
roles (by then a tiresome requirement for every 1970's sitcom) to a refreshing
new level.
The picture quality is sharp and colorful, like brand new really, these
episodes have been marvelously remastered. There are no bonus features
with this one, just all 24 episodes at a reasonably low price.
It gives me a warm feeling watching shows like this; Laverne &
Shirley was one of the last of the great, old-fashioned type sitcoms,
they don't make them like this anymore.
Plot Outline: The misadventures
of two single women in the 1950's and '60's.
Plot Synopsis: Best friends and roommates Laverne
De Fazio and Shirley Feeney are single, working girls in late 1950s Milwaukee
(later early 1960s Los Angeles) coping with dates, neighbours, and each
other.
Product Description:
Set in the 1950s, this half-hour situation comedy revolved around the
friendship between bright-eyed, naive and demure Shirley Feeney and brassy,
tough-talking, street smart Laverne De Fazio. Two bottle cappers for Shotz
Brewery, the duo dated an array of questionable men, tolerated their dippy,
loony neighbors Lenny and Squiggy, and forever pursued to "make all
their dreams come true."

Mork
& Mindy - The Third Season (1978)
Starring: Robin Williams, Pam Dawber Rating
Product Description:
Mork & Mindy was a spin-off from an episode of Happy Days seen in
February 1978, in which an alien from the planet Ork landed on Earth
and attempted to kidnap Richie. So popular was the nutty character created
by Robin Williams that Williams was given his own series in the fall
of 1978, and it became an instant hit.
Mork was a misfit on his own planet because
his sense of humor (he was heard to call the Orkan leader, Orson, "cosmic
breath"). So the humorless Orkans sent him off to study Earthlings,
whose "crazy" customs they had never been able to understand.
Mork landed, in a giant eggshell near Boulder, Colorado. There he was
befriended by pretty Mindy McConnell, a clerk at the music store run
by her father, Frederick. Mork looked human, but his strange mixture
of Orkan and Earthling customs--such as wearing a suit, but putting
it on backwards, or sitting in a chair, but upside down--led most people
to think of him as just as some kind of nut.
Mindy knew where he came from, and helped
him adjust to Earth's strange ways. She also let him stay in the attic
of her apartment house, which scandalized her conservative father, but
not her swinging grandmother, Cora.
