Yeah i have to buy a 10-pack of 8-hour blank tapes just like I did for Sanford and Son when I heard it was coming on TV LAND in jan of 2003

This news has came as a relief and as a total shock, when TV Land put Laverne & Shirley unexpectedly on hiatus, I felt guilty since I hadn't taped any of the episodes. After I heard that they lost the rights in June 2002, I had a gut feeling that the show wouldn't come back for years. So once I heard that it would be coming to DVD later this year followed by an announcement that it was coming to Lifetime, I was in utter shock, now the only thing that I can hope for is that they keep the series for as long as they can, LOL.

This is so awesome, what wonderful unexpected news!

Couldn't have come at a better time for me, seeing that I've been depressed all day over my beloved Panthers losing last night.

This is exactly what I needed to cheer me up, though, since I've missed the show tremendously and I only have a handful of episodes on tape. I'll be sure to get the blank tapes ready come March, this is great!

Funny you should mention the Super Bowl. At halftime, Janet Jackson exposed her you-know-what unintentionally. I put it there, because I didn't see the halftime show. Instead, I watched--Laverne & Shirley on my tape. I looked at the ep where Richie and Potsie appeared. Kind of ironic, isn't it?

Is Laverne and Shirley any good? I'm not insulting the show cause I haven't seen it yet, but should I tape it when it come to Lifetime?

Lifetime officially announces L&S:

LIFETIME TELEVISION ACQUIRES “LAVERNE & SHIRLEY” FROM PARAMOUNT TELEVISION

- Series Begins Airing March 8 -

New York – Adding another popular sitcom to its daytime schedule, Lifetime Television has acquired “Laverne & Shirley” from Paramount Television, it was announced today by Leslie Glenn-Chesloff, Senior Vice President, Planning, Scheduling and Acquisitions, Lifetime Entertainment Services.

Lifetime’s stable of top sitcoms will grow in 2005 when “Will & Grace” joins the network schedule.
“There’s an enormous appetite among viewers for quality, classic comedies, as demonstrated by our success with such series as ‘The Golden Girls.’ We’ve also seen how well these sitcoms, like ‘The Nanny,’ do with younger women. We expect that ‘Laverne & Shirley,’ one of the icons of women’s television, will be a popular addition to our daytime lineup,” said Glenn-Chesloff.
Regularly one of television’s top-rated sitcoms, “Laverne & Shirley” ran on ABC from 1976-1983. The series, a spin-off of “Happy Days,” starred Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams as two spunky working-class women with little education and less money, but with the determination to succeed.

Oh yes! I haven't seen this show in so long, in fact I think I'll start taping it! Yay, wonderful news.

vze3t9q9 · 02-15-2004, 08:23 PM

I remember watching this show( Laverne and Shirley) when it was in production. I believe the first episode was the number 1 program of the night. I laughed so hard with the antics of those two. I did remember the loudness of the program. It seemed like the characters were hollering a bit. The projected their voices a bit too much. I saw all the episodes even the ones Penny did alone. Now 27 or so years later I see snippets of it and it just doesn't seem so funny. I guess my tastes have changed.

bb25 · 03-03-2004, 01:31 AM

I'm so psyched L&S are coming to Lifetime! I love this show, it will be so good to see it again! Now all they need is to add "Kate & Allie" (a very logical choice, for the network for women...), and I'll be happy...

I agree about Will & Grace. Bleccchchchchchc....ugh...only thing I can stand about the show is Karen, and it's just too new and not the right show for Lifetime. Besides, it's already on 3 networks...first-run NBC, Fox, and UPN...
