A spinoff of Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley follows two young friends living in Milwaukee during the 1960s. The perky and positive Shirley Feeney (Cindy Williams) shares an apartment with Laverne DeFazio (Penny Marshall), a tough-talking tomboy. With a cast of characters that includes lovable pests Lenny and Squiggy (Michael McKean and David L. Lander), the girls experience comedic growing pains as they work to make it on their own.

Dating Game

Lenny and Squiggy appear on the television show, The Dating Game-with predictably wacky results!

The boys are introduced by Jim Lange-and make fools of themselves as only Lenny and Squiggy can! Lenny's tantalizing hobbies including drinking Bosco and collecting lint, and Squiggy is a klutz at answering questions-he's just ready to go for the kill. Their one chance at winning women on TV is disatrously funny!
