Plot

Moving from its traditional Tuesday-night slot to a Thursday evening berth, Laverne & Shirley kicked off its fifth season with the conclusion of a two-part story which debuted September 11, 1979 on its "sister" series Happy Days. That show's leading characters Richie (Ron Howard) and Fonzie (Henry Winkler) have gotten themselves into deep do-do by flirting with Helga (Vicki Frederick) and Inga (April Clough) pair of curvaceous. Now the boys are faced with the prospect of a shotgun wedding, thanks to the girls' rifle-toting pappy Vernon (F. William Parker). It is up to Laverne (Penny Marshall) and Shirley (Cindy Williams) to rescue our heroes by posing as Richie and Fonzie's fiancees! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
