It was probably the saddest episode of all of the Laverne & Shirley and Happy Days shows. The entire story was based on Laverne's love for the fireman, played by Ted Danson, and his death.

On drama series, it was not that uncommon for a romantic relationship to end due to a character's death. For example, it happened many times on Bonanza and The Big Valley, and those were not crime dramas. It's much less common for a sitcom, and that's one reason why people remember this episode.
