Laverne & Shirley Trivia

This week we remember Cindy Williams, known for her role as Shirley in Laverne & Shirley. She sadly passed away on January 25. I was a huge admirer of the show during the late 70's and early 80's. It's not common to find a spin-off, such as L&S from Happy Days, that surpasses the original series in quality. I even had the experience of being part of a live audience for one episode, where Carmine pays a visit to Shirley in her apartment in California.

In memory of Cindy, I present the following quiz challenge.
