I remember see Laverne and Shirley and thought it was the funniest show of the 1976 season. Years later after it was in syndication I bumped into Kate and Allie and thought that was a great show. The way I see it. two single girls were funny and two divorce women with children were funny too. Now years later seeing the two shows. I will take Kate and Allie.

I love both to death, so it's hard to choose. I'll go with Kate & Allie just because few people have said it before...

Kate & Allie. Because if it's 80's it's all right, if it's 70's send it back.

You shouldn't judge a show on the decade. By the way, 70's sitcoms were better than the 80s.

Who's bumping up all these old threads of mine? Anyway, you couldn't get into K&A, Irene? I can't find many fans of the show. No wonder the board on this forum is dead. It was one of the best shows nobody talks about. I use to watch it in the 80s. I got teased for watching it because it was a "woman's" show. LOL

A new member-"Mrgman" is bumping them up-lol He is doing the same thing to mine. I guess he feel he missed out on so much by not being on SitcomsOnline in the past. I ain't mad at him-lol

I am not mad at him either, and I'm glad he's doing it. I guess the point I am making-I forgot I posted this topic. LOL I was new at the time.

LAVERNE & SHIRLEY (a HAPPY DAYS spin-off) was set in the 1950s. It was a
slapstick comedy (like I LOVE LUCY). Comparing it to KATE & ALLIE is like
comparing apples and oranges.

I'm sure it was a great show...there must have been something else airing at the same time as K&A because I don't recall even watching a full episode.

True, but when it moved to 8pm, I started watching it every week. It competed with Alf during this timeslot.

Wow, this thread started over 14 years ago!

Anyway, Laverne & Shirley definitely. I was a teen in the 80's when Kate & Allie aired Monday nights and I couldn't stand it. I also wondered why 2 single mothers decided shacking up together like that with their kids and if they were lovers. It was just a weird setup, especially for that time.

Well by golly, methinks they were lovers and it was one of TV's gayest ever shows. But not as gay as Perfect Strangers (puke, puke).

I never tuned into it enough to know, but did they ever date men or was the stories always about the 2 women? It could've been subtle since it wasn't really allowed to be shown blatantly back then.

As for Perfect Strangers I couldn't agree more! BIG PUKE for that show. I remember always passing by the living room or on my way out the door and seeing my parents watching it when it aired and wondered why they would tune into such a dumb show. I've yet to see an episode of it ever since and never plan to! It just looks so asinine. Were they subtle lovers too?! :lol:

I don't recall if Kate and Allie ever dated men, though I didn't watch often or pay enough attention to notice. However, I do recall numerous references to "rug licking", so there's that. Also the time when Kate told one of the kids to not go out in the cold without ear muffs, slyly emphasizing the "muffs" provoking guffaws from the studio audience. So in summary I'd say it was a very gay show. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yes Kate and Allie dated men on the show.

I like both Laverne and Shirley and Kate and Allie, but I have to say I have a slight preference for Kate and Allie. So I guess that means Kate and Allie is my favorite.
