Laverne & Shirley in the Army is a 1981 Hanna-Barbera cartoon series based on the TV show Laverne & Shirley, with the title characters voiced by Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams. The show aired on Saturday mornings for one season of 13 episodes on ABC. (The words "In the Army" did not appear in the show's title cards.)
The show was a spin-off of Laverne and Shirley, which was itself a spin-off of Happy Days, which was itself a spin-off of Love, American Style. The show is, therefore, a spin-off of a spin-off of a spin-off.

In this series — which is partly inspired by the movie Private Benjamin and the TV series of the same name, as well as a two-part Laverne & Shirley episode, "You're In The Army Now," that aired on November 15, 1979 — best friends Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney are enlisted in the U.S. Army and often get involved in clandestine escapades with their immediate superior, an anthropomorphic pig named Sgt. Squealy (voiced by Ron Palillo) who is always threatening to report them to his superior, Sgt. Turnbuckle (voiced by Kenneth Mars). All usually turns out well for the girls.
The characters of this show also appeared in the subsequent series The Mork & Mindy / Laverne & Shirley / Fonz Hour.
