Happy Days Vs. Laverne & Shirley - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Which is better, in your opinion:

"Happy Days" (74-84)
"Laverne & Shirley" (76-83)

I liked "Laverne & Shirley", partly cause it's my favorite show of all time at the moment

The physical comedy was great! And I thought Cindy Williams and Penny Marshall were GREAT together!

I like Laverne and Shirley better so I'm pretty happy that TV Land is going to start showing Laverne and Shirley at 3 and 3:30 starting January.

I love both shows a lot. The one that first interested me was "Laverne & Shirley" because of the physical comedy. Then I began watching "Happy Days" as well. This a hard question because it is putting two favorite shows of mine against each other. Well, since L&S was the first one I got into . . . I guess "Laverne & Shirley".

In terms of some things, Happy Days was best from 1974-1978, and Laverne and Shirley was best from 1978-1983.

Laverne and Shirley! Happy Days got too stupid in the latter years!

I like both but Laverne & Shirley is waaaay better, Happy Days got pretty boring in the later years of the show. I can't wait until TV LAND airs both, I don't think it is fair at all what they are doing with Get Smart

! That is like one of the best shows on the network and they are going to play it early in the morning once and once laaaaaate at night!
