"Laverne & Shirley" Reunion: Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams To Guest on "Sam & Cat"

The leading ladies of "Laverne & Shirley" are reuniting. Nickelodeon said Wednesday that Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams will guest star in an episode of its new sitcom "Sam & Cat".

"Sam & Cat" features Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande as friends who start a baby-sitting business.

Nickelodeon says Marshall and Williams will start filming on Wednesday. They play characters involved in a decades-old feud, tweaking the long-ago rumors of a "Laverne & Shirley" rivalry.

"Sam & Cat" creator Dan Schneider says it was an honor to write for what he called TV's "funniest female roommates ever".

The actresses starred as 1950s and`60s pals and roommates Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney, workers in a Milwaukee brewery. The sitcom aired from 1976 to 1983 on ABC.

Yay! I'm very excited to see a reunion for Laverne & Shirley (of sorts.)

I doubt that the actresses would actually be in character, from what the article says. But I'm sure there will definitely be some references to Laverne & Shirley and the gang- and maybe some classic L&S slapstick comedy too.
