Laverne & Shirley

Laverne & Shirley was a situation comedy that ran on ABC from 1976 to 1983. It starred Penny Marshall as Laverne De Fazio and Cindy Williams as Shirley Feeney, roommates who, as the series began, worked in a Milwaukee brewery.

Most memorable characters include:

  • Laverne De Fazio: Best remembered for her love of milk and Pepsi and the letter "L" monogrammed on her shirts and sweaters.
  • Shirley Feeney: Best remembered for her most prized possession "Boo Boo Kitty", a large stuffed cat which sits next to her bed, and her favorite song "High Hopes", often used by one of the girls to cheer the other up.
  • Lenny Kosnowski: Best remembered for being a lovable goof who pesters Laverne and Shirley along with his best friend and roommate Squiggy, who both live upstairs from Laverne and Shirley's basement apartment.
  • Andrew "Squiggy" Squigman: Best remembered for making nearly every entrance with his trademark "Hello" said in a slightly whiney voice.
  • Frank De Fazio: Best remembered for being Laverne's Italian-born father who runs the Pizza Bowl and then later Cowboy Bills.
  • Carmine "The Big Ragu" Ragusa: Best remembered as Shirley's high school sweetheart and on-again, off-again romance, who is constantly working to make it big as a dancer and singer.
  • Edna Babish DeFazio: Best remembered for being the landlady who eventually marries Laverne's father.

Stickers, stickers, stickers!!

Stickers were very popular in the 80's. I had a pink sticker book filled with all kinds of stickers.My favorites were the scratch 'n sniff, like the Gordy stickers above. The best smelling ones were pizza, popcorn, pickle and cotton candy. They had a really stinky ones too. Puffy stickers and Wacky Packages were also popular!

Connect Four


Connect Four is a two-player game in which the players take turns in dropping alternating colored discs into a seven-column, six-row vertically-suspended grid. The object of the game is to connect four singly-colored discs in a row -- vertically, horizontally, or diagonally -- before your opponent can do likewise.

The game was published under the famous Connect Four trademark by Milton Bradley in 1974.
