Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Laverne and Shirley" was a spin-off of what popular TV show?

Answer: Happy Days

Garry Marshall was in a pinch, so he called his sister Penny and asked her if she and her then writing partner Cindy Williams would play these "fast" girls on the episode. The girls were so good together that Garry shot a 15 minute "pilot" right then and there and the network bought it right away.
2. In the episode "Guinea Pigs", the girls take part in scientific experiments to get enough money to go to a fancy party. Shirley has nothing to eat but dirt. What does Laverne have to do in her experiment?

Answer: She has to go without sleep.

This episode shows what a great ability these ladies had for physical comedy.
3. Penny Marshall went on to become a big director, but she started directing on "Laverne and Shirley". What was the first episode she directed?

Answer: Squiggy in Love

This was in the fourth season of the series. She directed four episodes of the series, and also directed Tom Hanks in the movies "Big" and "A League of Their Own".
4. What was Squiggy's first name?

Answer: Andrew

His original name was supposed to be Anthony, but Garry Marshall said they already had too many Italian characters, so they made him German.
5. Who played Leonard 'Lenny' Kosnowski?
