View Full Version : Blansky's Beauties- a spinoff from Laverne and Shirley? seventies_sitcoms 05-06-2005, 07:18 PM Does anybody remember Blansky's Beauties starring Nancy Walker? I read somewhere that show was supposed to have been a spin-off from Laverne and Shirley. Nancy Walker owned a dancing/theatrical group and Carmine from L&S made a few appearances. The show only lasted a season or maybe not even that long. Mr. Television 05-06-2005, 07:21 PM Does anybody remember Blansky's Beauties starring Nancy Walker?

I know she guest stared on HD in a retrospective show. ClassicSitcomsGirl 05-06-2005, 07:21 PM Wasn't Scott Baio(Happy Days,Charles in Charge)in this? Mr. Television 05-06-2005, 07:24 PM Wasn't Scott Baio(Happy Days,Charles in Charge)in this? Yea he was in it as well as Lynda Goodfriend { Lori Beth} and Pat Morita {Arnold}. robyrob 05-06-2005, 07:27 PM it was kind-of a spin-off from Happy Days, although it wasn't set in the same time period - Nancy Walker appeared as Howard Cunningham's favorite cousin Nancy Blansky in one episode of Happy Days. Scott Baio and Eddie Mekka were on the show but not as the same characters that they played on Happy Days. As for whether it is actually a Happy Days spin-off, it all depends on your definition of a spin-off. :) Mr. Television 05-06-2005, 07:28 PM it was kind-of a spin-off from Happy Days, although it wasn't set in the same time period - Nancy Walker appeared as Howard Cunningham's favorite cousin Nancy Blansky in one episode of Happy Days.

So I will say it's a spinoff |
