[edit] Discussion

Needs a picture. Also, in Wayne's World didn't the two kill themselves in a car as an ending and didnt they say it was the Laverne & Shirley ending? Is this how the series ended?? Redwolf24 07:20, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Heh, sorry I was thinking of Thelma and Louise. Redwolf24 23:45, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm remembering a bizarre animated spinoff of this show where Laverne and Shirley returned to the army, and their drill sergeant was a pig (an actual pig). Some mention of the spinoff ought to be included in the article. -- Heath 68.118.23.158 18:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

  • It is included (I didn't put it in), but it's a bad writing. The most comprehensive info about it is probably on PlatypusComix.net, where it is hailed "The worst show of all time." PlatypusComix should be considered encyclopedic. WizardDuck 23:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

In one of the recent South Park episodes, Cartman says "It's simple television economics, Kyle. All it takes to kill a show forever is get one episode pulled. If we convince the network to pull this episode for the sake of Muslims, then the Catholics can demand a show they don't like get pulled. And then people with disabilities can demand another show get pulled. And so on and so on, until Family Guy is no more! It's exactly what happened to Laverne & Shirley." http://www.spscriptorium.com/Season10/E1003script.htm Is this merely a silly joke, or was L&S censored? There's no mention of it here or on the SP pages. Thanks.

Yes, I was also looking for a reference to the South Park Season 10 discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.39.152.2 (talk) 12:55, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Changed a bit of supposition in the Dramatic Episodes section, re: "The Bully Show." In the show, there isn't the suggestion of rape, or a possible rape. Laverne's boyfriend imprisons her (by hanging her hooded coat on a wall hanger, with her in it) and is generally threatening, but sexual menace is entirely inferred. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.92.119 (talk) 00:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Episode list

Anyone have an issue with the episode list being migrated to its own article? I think that would be a better place for it - the show was on for a long time, and that's a lot of info to include in the main article. Seems that the articles for many shows have a separate episode list.... NickBurns 21:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Memoriable epsiode ?

  • One scene where Laverne, Shirley, and Lenny and Squiggly are held hostage-one of the girls in a stage whisper remarks on trying to escape would be better than spending eternity alongside Lenny and Squiggy!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lsfire6.jpg

Image:Lsfire6.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series

I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 17:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
