Default Lamont I checked and did not see Penny Marshall listed as a Guest on

Blansky Beauties. I know I spotted her in the opening credits but I didn't see her listed as a guest on IMDB. If she did guest star, are you saying that she appeared as Laverne Defazio?


Also I have done enough research on Blansky Beauties to say whether it's a spinoff or not like I did Good times

YES also the character that Eddie (Carmine) Mekka played on the show was Carmines COUSIN, he explains that in 1 ep

so u have a Carmine connection, Laverne and Mr Defazio, and of course Nancy is Howard Cunninghams relative and guest starred on the show before the spinoff began, as the same character-- and the creator of this show, ALSO says it is a spinoff

so im wondering how u claim this want aint a spinoff either?

I don't mind admitting I'm wrong if someone can accurately provide some strong facts.

Just watched the Blanksy Beauties ep witH Laverne and you were wrong about the decade being different because Nancy did a FLASHBACK to 1957 when she was in Milwauee. She knew Mr.Defazio. So the episode went back in time like Mork and Mindy did when Lavene guest starred on the Mork and Mindy Pilot.

YES she did a flashback to 1957 BUT DID U NOTICE THEY WERE ALL THE SAME AGE in the flashback???

so it couldnt have been too long ago----
PLUS when Carmine guested and when Laverne was in the opening credits on the other ep
they were same age too
and in 1 ep
CARMINES COUSIN on the show (played by the same guy)
mentions that they are the SAME AGE
so it was a RECENT flashback
EVEN THOUGH the show seems set about 10-15 years AFTER laverne and shirley

i know what u are saying
BUT nancy walkers character is the same age as she was on happy days
which is impossible
she had to be what? 55 on happy days when she guested as the cunningham cousin? and if 15 years later in vegas she looks the same, then she CANT be 70 can she? plus carmines cousin is same age as him--- and if he is 30 in the show, and same age as carmine---- then carmine has to be 30 too? and if L + S was set 15 years before that, then was he 15 then???

they played around with time and it made no sense
