Default Laverne and Shirley or Mork and Mindy? Which Happy Days spinoff did you like more?

I have started watching both of these sitcoms in the month of March and so far Laverne and Shirley has been enjoyable. I never thought i would find squiggy so damm funny. The characters who stand out are Laverne and squiggy. The least funniest character is Shirley. Kind of like how janet wood was of Three's company. I only watched 2 eps of Mork and Mindy so far so L&S is better at this moment.

I like both series.
Even though the first Season of Mork & Mindy is funnier than any season of Laverne & Shirley....

Id have to say I still like L&S more.

I'm in the process of watching the first season of Mork and Mindy on my local station.

I like both Laverne & Shirley and Mork and Mindy a lot. Out of those two, Laverne & Shirley is a bigger favorite of mine since it's more like I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show.

Definitely Laverne & Shirley. I've never really liked Mork & Mindy.

I have to agree Sean. I been watching Mork and Mindy for a week now and Mork is just too ******** for me. I can't stomach the show anymore. Seem like that show was created for 3 year olds.

I'm not sure if I have a preference between those two. It's been so long since I've seen L&S that I don't really remember what it's about, and I haven't seen M&M in years either, but vaguely remember what that's about.

Mork and Mindy. For whatever reason, the actresses on Laverne and Shirley just rubbed me the wrong way.
