Also showing the wrong 'Odd Couple'. When the series is mentioned, the picture is from the Lemmon/Mathau movie poster and scenes from the film. The TV series was Tony Randall and Jack Klugman. Not to mention that it wasn't mentioned Penny Marshall was also on that show as a recurring character.
Cindy Williams was great in American Graffiti and The Conversation. Penny Marshall was the SISTER of GARRY Marshall, the producer and main writer. Not FRANK. Michael McKean is a great actor in Spinal Tap, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and Better Call Saul.
You didn't mention the biggest scandal. When Cindy Williams got pregnant. the show would not let her have any time off. She sued them, and the end result was her getting kicked off the show..
Oh Wow!!! I remember when she got pregnant. And I was always under the assumption that they married Shirley off so she would be able to have a family. Plus back in those days a single female character couldn't have a baby out of wedlock. That was a much juicier scandal then what this put out.
I'm so glad that Cindy didn't get the part in Star Wars. Carry Fisher to us youngens wasn't heard of. Cindy, Shirley Feeney was. It was better to gave an unknown to all of us at age 11-13 when Star Wars just came out.
1:37 Um, the characters of Laverne & Shirley weren't as innocent on their own show as they were when they appeared on Happy Days? It's kind of the other way around, isn't it? On Happy Days, they were portrayed as fast girls, but on Laverne & Shirley, the producers really toned down that image to make them more family-friendly.
It’s funny that in the video the mention of the Odd Couple show the Jack Lemmon /Walter Matthau movie version and not the Tony Randall /Jack Klugman TV version.
I think it was more that they were just running out of ideas. They were originally supposed to move to New York, but California was chosen. In the last season of the show being in Milwaukee, they were already running out of ides.
4:47 - Who the heck is Frank Marshall? According to imdb, Penny's father was Anthony Marshall and the show's executive producer was her brother, Garry Marshall.
I. Was 13 when it first aired I loved it then and still watch reruns today on you tube. Tues night's in our house was happy days FALLOWED by LEVERN & SHIRLEY for the whole time it ran. Never missed an episode.
I never understood why they moved the show to California. It didn't make any sense. I think they started running out of story ideas and were trying to force some fresh air into it. I pretty much stopped watching after that.
I could see Cindy Williams as Princess Leah, but it was definitely Carrie Fisher who made it iconic. However now that she has passed and the story continues I could see if Cindy was used as the Princess.
One thing I noticed long ago during the show's theme song playing the intro is where they're riding double on a single seat bicycle and Cindy is huffing and puffing doing the pedaling with stress written on her face while Penny is on the seat and says to Cindy "SMILE" as per the director, so Cindy feigned a smile...
Facts Verse needs to get its facts straight. - Penny Marshall wasn't the "daughter of Frank Marshall, the show's producer." She was the *sister* of *Garry* Marshall, the show's producer. And you even talk about him @6:20 but then you _still_ call him Frank a moment later?! - It's David Lander not David Landers. - _Laverne and Shirley_ debuted in January of 1976 meaning it was in production since at least the fall of 1975. So how could Cindy Williams have auditioned for _Star Wars_ "in 1976" "before the show kicked off?" Also Williams was "nowhere found on set" when Carrie Fischer guested because *she had left the show entirely three episodes before that one.*
@rach d Possible yes but Facts Verse didn't say 1975 they said 1976. According to Williams herself "I think I was doing _Laverne and Shirley_ at the time" which precludes it being "before" L&S [though she says "I think" and not "I definitely was"]. ua-cam.com/video/WtQ2beJwYLY/v-deo.html I freely acknowledge the typo. I noticed it shortly after posting but decided not to edit it so as not to have the "(edited)" marker on the post.
Our favorite movies and tv shows became our favorites because they were cast the way they were. Even picturing other actors in a role from a classic sitcom or movie can detract from memories of favorites.
Same. I was a teenager in the 90's and I loved watching reruns of the show back then. Except for the reruns where they were in California since that was a bad idea.
Yes, I saw that, and it shows Richie Cunning ham reading the novel "From Here to Eternity"? That book has enough swearing in it, and sex, and the longest section inthe book is "the Stockade". And no, the character Maggio is not killed off.
Yes, I've always loved their shows. My older sister's name begins with L and mine begins with S. She was Laverne and I was Shirley. We even put an L & S on our shirts. I still watch re-runs.
I absolutely loved the Laverne & Shirley show. One episode was of one of them going down the aisle to marry and did something insanely funny. I have never laughed SO HARD in my entire life. Just wish I could recall the specific details.
There is a Frank Marshall who was a film producer but is not related to Penny at all. On The Odd Couple Penny's character was Oscar's secretary I believe. On one episode her brother and sister had a cameo part. Garry was also in an episode ...
You are correct. Penny Marshall's Odd Couple character, Myrna Turner, introduced her brother Werner Turner (brother and producer Garry Marshall) and Verna Turner (sister Ronny Hallin) in an episode.
Regarding the Princess Leia question...my gut tells me that Williams would not have played the character as well as Fisher did. Ofc, this could be partially based on the fact that I, personally, never even saw Williams play a more serious role especially not a sci-fi character. Not to mention that no one ever knew anyone else BUT Fisher to play the role making it almost impossible to imagine someone else doing it better. It's kinda like imagining anyone OTHER than Christopher Reeves playing Superman in the 70s movie series... it's IMPOSSIBLE to imagine!
2:59 is showing the movie poster for The Odd Couple, the movie for which the TV series is based on starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Tony Randall and Jack Klugman were in the TV show instead.
I will never forget my favorite Squiggy moment. They ask him, what are you having for lunch? As he says, spaghetti. He pulls out a loose handful out of his paper bag. Classic Squiggy at its best.
Hello, Cindy used to work at the Whisky A Go Go on Sunset Strip...also as a Waitress in some resturant in LA , I forgot the name of it, John from North Carolina.
Cindy Williams as Princess Leah? I Think Not! If she was the Diva that you say she was that would not have worked out at all. Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford got along pretty well together. Don't think that would have happened if Cindy had been part of that cast.
6:43 - that album is also an embryonic Spinal Tap. Christopher Guest was involved under his Spinal Tap name (remember that movie wouldn't exist for another 5 years).
I love some of the Seventies shows, Happy Days along with Laverne and Shirley being some of them. Not surprised now, that there were clashes. A high level of achievement went into the shows by the actors so perfection is to be expected. Every decade has its hits and its primadonnas BUT if we expect quality we have to expect the egos as well!
You keep saying Frank Marshall but I don't think there was a Frank Marshall. There was a Garry Marshall. Also, it's David Lander, without the "s" at the end.
Well, I admire their respective professionalism, as the shows were always enjoyable to watch. Everyone knows that the one thing most good actors have is a big ego that craves attention. Conflicts? Not surprising.
I am going to say that all these people were true professionals. Who, sitting in front of their TV, had any idea there were personal issues going on? The viewers were far too important to be dragged into their petty squabbles. Love Laverne and Shirley.
There was no social media at the time and the studios had a better handle on the information that got out. I doubt they were all that professional -- just lucky they didn't have to endure life under the glaring life of 24/7 voyeuristic social media.
I loved the 70's! Yes, there was so many great family friendly TV shows! Laverne and Shirley was one of my favorites! By the way... I want to share a message... I hope it blesses you... YOU ARE LOVED: God loves you and desires for you to spend eternity with Him, however, SIN has seperated you from God and from entering Heaven (If you have ever lied, you have sinned, making you a sinner). That is why God sent His Son Jesus Christ to save you, to rescue you from the punishment of sin, eternal Hell. You can not get to Heaven on your own accord... Your good deeds, being a good person, your church, your money... Can not save you... Only Jesus Christ can save you!!! WHAT TO DO... Go to Jesus Christ with a humble heart. Repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, yielding your life to Jesus. AN EXAMPLE PRAYER: Jesus Christ, I come to you a sinner, I repent of all my sins and ask for your forgiveness. I believe you are the Son of God, that you went to the cross, died in my place, paying my sin debt and that you were buried & rose on the 3rd day to everlasting life. Jesus, right now, I choose to receive you as my Lord and my Savior, trusting in you alone for my salvation. I surrender my life to you and ask for your will to be done. I invite your Holy Spirit to come into my heart to make me more like you. Thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you for filling me with the Holy Spirit and for your gift of eternal life in Heaven. Amen! NOW WHAT: Being a Christian is all about relationship. You grow in your relationship with God as you spend time with Him, in your Bible, in prayer, in time of worship and praise. I suggest reading the gospel of John first, and then read the books that apostle Paul wrote, Romans through Philemon.
Were you hired by the Marshall family? Not one negative comment about them and so many about Cindy Williams. On this show, at least 4 people had the last name Marshall and Cindy was surrounded. I don't know where you got your facts from, but there are interviews with them where they got along quite well.
@Giada_De_Low_Rent_Tits Well said. I think I read somewhere that Cindy was uncomfortable working on the set because Penny always had her family there to look out for her. Still, despite the tension on set, they were able to do some classic physical comedy/slapstick together. The first few seasons were quite good, but then it started to go downhill from there.
I've read in multiple places Phil Foster (Laverne's TV dad) sold cocaine on the Paramount lot during the run of L&S. Coincidentally Penny Marshall was a big cokehead.
@@MrCrabbers Anjelica Huston was friends with Penny Marshall. She mentions Marshall's chronic drug use in this article: pagesix.com/2019/05/01/anjelica-huston-is-putting-her-wildly-dangerous-days-behind-her/
I strongly believe if the character Shirley played the character Princess Leia it wouldn't be taken seriously because the worker/actress who played Shirley is known for as a comedian!
@@vgovger4373 I AM. And that is not accurate why I placed ???? Warch the episode of Andy Griffith featuring the fun girls. Nothing like Laverne & Shirley at all.
#9: you forgot to mention that MIchael McKean went on to joing the 3rd most famous 'fictional'/'real' band (behind The Monkees & The Rutles, but just before Gorillaz) Spinal Tap! #10. NO...JUST...NO!!!
I watched two episodes of Happy Days and two episodes of Laverne and Shirley. I said, these shows have nothing to do with me and never watched them again. I wonder if they ever tackled real issues like Maude and All in the Family did. Even at ten years old, I preferred Maude and Archie.
I always hated it when "The Big Ragu" would do his singing and dancing on the show. It was just so cheesy and cornball that I would just sit there and wait for it to be over, so I could go back to watching and enjoying the rest of the show.
@@eloiseockert6561 the first two seasons were pretty good with good writing. Starting with the third season it just started going downhill and got sillier and sillier.

@@Kitsaper ditto
At 6:20 you mention Gary Marshall then at 6:38 you make him Frank Marshall. How can you make a mistake like that ?
Also showing the wrong 'Odd Couple'. When the series is mentioned, the picture is from the Lemmon/Mathau movie poster and scenes from the film. The TV series was Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.
Not to mention that it wasn't mentioned Penny Marshall was also on that show as a recurring character.
And Frank Marshall is not her father either. Lol
Cindy Williams was great in American Graffiti and The Conversation.
Penny Marshall was the SISTER of GARRY Marshall, the producer and main writer. Not FRANK.
Michael McKean is a great actor in Spinal Tap, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and Better Call Saul.
There is a film producer named Frank Marshall but is no way related.
Thank you..that irked me
👍Frank is married to Kathleen Kennedy. And not related to Garry and Penny.
Seems like no one remembers Michael McKean on the HBO show, "Dream On." He had a deadpan role there.
You didn't mention the biggest scandal. When Cindy Williams got pregnant. the show would not let her have any time off. She sued them, and the end result was her getting kicked off the show..
Now THAT'S a scandal
By then the show sucked anyway. Those Hollywood episodes are UNWATCHABLE!!
@Diane Newman
Your confusing 2 different shows. Happy Days jumped a shark not Laverne and Shirley.
Oh Wow!!! I remember when she got pregnant. And I was always under the assumption that they married Shirley off so she would be able to have a family. Plus back in those days a single female character couldn't have a baby out of wedlock. That was a much juicier scandal then what this put out.

Carrie
Right, plus she (Cindy) seem like she was a bitch...
Carrie not Carry lol!
Carrie Fisher was the best choice anyways.
Bullshit. Star wars went in production in 1976, the same year L & S went on the air. They wouldn't have crossed.
I had to Google the definition of "scandal" to make sure I wasn't going crazy.
Lol. There is a music site that apparently does not know what a one hit wonder is either.
Scandals...these are scandals? THESE ARE NOT SCANDALS!
stretching definitions for the clickbait or bigger victim stories is the norm these days
Wow, Lenny and Squadly cuss and swear in real life...Holy Wallpaper Batman...two costars in a relationship? Who Would’ve thunk?...

.....and Lenny went on to form one of the greatest faux rock bands of all time, Spinal Tap.
...and then became HotShot Lawyer and Saul's brother Chuck (charles Mcgill) in Better Call Saul.

the real scandal was how many errors are in the vid
Amen!!! I noticed that in a few of there videos. I had to unsubscribe. It is to annoying.
Right! Lander, not Landers. 🙄
It’s funny that in the video the mention of the Odd Couple show the Jack Lemmon /Walter Matthau movie version and not the Tony Randall /Jack Klugman TV version.
When they moved to California the show went to 💩💩. The first 3 seasons were great.
Agreed. L & S jumped the shark moving to Cali...they should have wrapped the series then. And especially after cindy left the series
@nowonyuno you thought Rhoda was sexy? Wow. You must have hit your head pretty hard... LOL
I think it was more that they were just running out of ideas. They were originally supposed to move to New York, but California was chosen. In the last season of the show being in Milwaukee, they were already running out of ides.
YUP
You should not have a channel called Facts Verse if you cannot get simple facts correct! Frank?
Again there is a film producer named Frank Marshall but he us not a relation
get information first from Wikipedia at least
Laverne and Shirley was one of favorites!

You definitely brought back some memory's with this one here thanks.
Carrie Fisher was iconic in the role as Princess Leia. No, I don't see Cindi Williams as Iconic at all.
cindy williams is iconic as shirley feeney imo
Cindy not Cindi Fix it!
Penny was real life sister of producer Garry marshall
Carrie is the best part in Star Wars. It definitely wasn't a Cindy part. Lenny & Squiggy should've been a cartoon series.
The reason Cindy Williams wasn't on the set when Carrie Fisher was is because she'd already left the show and was about to have a baby.
That's why she was nowhere to be found 😂
She wasn't in a galaxy far far away????? Lol
Hello Rusty Wolfe, what was the name of her baby ? How old is the child now ?
I could see Cindy Williams as Princess Leah, but it was definitely Carrie Fisher who made it iconic. However now that she has passed and the story continues I could see if Cindy was used as the Princess.

There is s small error here:
Love American Style had the pilot for 'Happy Days.'
😆 There were several errors
Yes, I saw that, and it shows Richie Cunning ham reading the novel "From Here to Eternity"? That book has enough swearing in it, and sex, and the longest section inthe book is "the Stockade". And no, the character Maggio is not killed off.
First off; I always thought this sitcom was strange! I mean "STRANGE". Now I can see the proof.
The best thing about the show was the theme song. Never watched the show but I'd watch the theme song before switching over to something else.
Tony Marshall was Garry and Penny's father. I always waited for Lenny and Squiggy to show up. They were a blast!
LOVED L & S ! Grew up watching them ads NEW episodes..... ever Notice Comedies that are BEST have a GREAT THEME SONG
Carrie Fisher did a better reading for star wars .
Shirley and Sqiggy were Smashing it IRL??? I did not know that!!..😂

I would watch Laverne&Shirley on television everyday
How?
The show was on one day a week.
Carrie Fisher was the perfect fit. No one could change that.
I will never forget my favorite Squiggy moment. They ask him, what are you having for lunch? As he says, spaghetti. He pulls out a loose handful out of his paper bag. Classic Squiggy at its best.
Although I don't have the Lenny and Squiggy album I do have all the tracks thanks to the internet. Very cool
Hello, Cindy used to work at the Whisky A Go Go on Sunset Strip...also as a Waitress in some resturant in LA , I forgot the name of it, John from North Carolina.

Cindy Williams as Princess Leah? I Think Not! If she was the Diva that you say she was that would not have worked out at all. Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford got along pretty well together. Don't think that would have happened if Cindy had been part of that cast.
I'm gonna vo-de-oh-doh before i go. Lol
That's my Favorite show.Ok I have to watch re reruns but I love the show. And the California apartment reminds me of Two an Half Mens apartment
There was an idea of a spinoff series with Lenny and Squiggy. That would have been a very bad idea.
Lenny and the Squigtones had a little known guitarist named Christopher Guest. A bit of a precursor to Spinal Tap.
Anyone else notice their place in California looks just like two and a half men set?
I said it years ago
It's the same set. They mention it in the footage.
😱😱😱😱😱 did not know Squiggy and Shirley were a thing in real life!
Glad to know that you discovered something new about Squiggy and Shirley. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams also recorded an album themselves.
What about the record titled " Laverne and Shirley Sing"???? That came out in the 70's ????
The National Enquirer newspaper in the 1970's said that Penny and Cindy can't sing.
Cindy Williams as Princess Leia? HELL NO!!!
6:43 - that album is also an embryonic Spinal Tap. Christopher Guest was involved under his Spinal Tap name (remember that movie wouldn't exist for another 5 years).

I hope Squiggy's hairstyle comes back in fashion, I have the perfect hairline for it.
At 2.33 you see a bong on the two and a half men piano
I always thought L & S was funnier than Happy Days. Long live Boo Boo Kitty.
Whu make a comparison?
RIP Penny Marshall
Half way through the video-no scandals yet. Some interesting facts, but no scandals.
Well, I admire their respective professionalism, as the shows were always enjoyable to watch. Everyone knows that the one thing most good actors have is a big ego that craves attention. Conflicts? Not surprising.
Laverne & Shirley was a great show!!!
At 10 years old, Shirley (Cindy Williams) was my first real crush.
My favorite Happy Days episode was the one where Fonzie set Laverne up on a blind date with Mork.
God bless Carrie Fisher for taking the role as princess Leia because I don't think that Cindy would have been a good actress for star wars
For some reason I watched this show a lot when I was a kid

Anjelica Huston was friends with Penny Marshall. She mentions Marshall's chronic drug use in this article:

NOT A CHANCE.
I strongly believe if the character Shirley played the character Princess Leia it wouldn't be taken seriously because the worker/actress who played Shirley is known for as a comedian!
Penny's brother is GARY Marshall
I had the biggest crush on Cindy Williams! She was so incredibly cute!!
Penny Marshall’s fathers name was Tony not Frank. Frank was the name of Phil Foster’s character who played Laverne’s dad on the show
This was a fun video to watch.
I think an early version of the 2 girls were the " fun girls" from Andy Griffith?
??? ??? ???
@@eloiseockert6561 ....you have to be a fan of the Andy Griffith show.
@@vgovger4373 I AM. And that is not accurate why I placed ????
Warch the episode of Andy Griffith featuring the fun girls.
Nothing like Laverne & Shirley at all.
America Needs these time now
Carrrie fischer because i can't see cindy as princes leia
Never tapped faster ‼️
There is a difference between "scandal" and "trivia".
We had family friends when I was a kid and they knew the actor who played The big ragu . This was in Massachusetts never got to meet him.
And???
@@eloiseockert6561 that's it.
#9: you forgot to mention that MIchael McKean went on to joing the 3rd most famous 'fictional'/'real' band (behind The Monkees & The Rutles, but just before Gorillaz) Spinal Tap!
#10. NO...JUST...NO!!!
I watched two episodes of Happy Days and two episodes of Laverne and Shirley. I said, these shows have nothing to do with me and never watched them again. I wonder if they ever tackled real issues like Maude and All in the Family did. Even at ten years old, I preferred Maude and Archie.
I always hated it when "The Big Ragu" would do his singing and dancing on the show. It was just so cheesy and cornball that I would just sit there and wait for it to be over, so I could go back to watching and enjoying the rest of the show.
The whole series was ' cornball."..
@@eloiseockert6561 the first two seasons were pretty good with good writing. Starting with the third season it just started going downhill and got sillier and sillier.
does this guy know what the word scandal means,what a hand job
this was a good video.
If her audition footage was any indication, that's a big no on Cindy being Leia.
