everyone knows about the queer-coded female relationship iconic line “so, what, i’m thelma and you’re louise and we’re just going to hold hands and sail off this cliff together?” said by dean to cas in 5x03 free to be you and me, but there is one other that always stood out to me but i’ve never seen people talking about in reference to laverne and shirley (tv display from 1976-1983), given to us by crowley in 9x10 road trip.
recap of the scene – during a heartfelt conversation between dean and cas in which dean apologizes for essentially kicking cas out of the bunker, in the other room/area crowley was trying to get gadreel out of sam, before he yelling out to them:
interesting…very interesting reference crowley, thank you.
now i just want to take a moment to talk about laverne and shirley’s friendship on their show, “laverne and shirley (as adequately as upstairs neighbors lenny and squiggy) were explicitly straight within the show’s narrative, but many include seen something else in these close homosocial pairings (stoked in particular by a kiss shared by the title pair in the show’s third season opener)” – from this article: x – also don’t look up super
7 Facts About Laverne and Shirley
You don’t have to be a shlemiel or a schlimazel to like Laverne & Shirley, the classic sitcom about two working-class BFFs making their dreams come true. The show was so famous in the late '70s that on any given Tuesday night, almost half of everyone watching TV were tuned in to see what Laverne DeFazio (Penny Marshall) and Shirley Feeney (Cindy Williams) were up to. To retain the show, we grabbed our Boo Boo Kitties and Pepsi Milk and came up with seven interesting facts about its history.
Laverne and Shirley made their TV debut on an episode of 'Happy Days'
The episode featured the girls on a double date with The Fonz (Henry Winkler) and Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard). The two were such a big hit that studio execs asked producer Garry Marshall (Penny’s brother) to cook up a exhibit for their very control. Little did they understand that the spin-off would quickly become more famous than the original show.
Their catchphrase was inspired by Marshall's childhood
Ever wonder about the origin of the show’s opening catchphrase “Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated”? In her 2012 memoir, My Mother Was Nuts, Marshall explained tha
Today, we look at how the series finale of Laverne and Shirley followed a depressing Shirley-less season by halfheartedly trying to spin Carmine off into his own series.
This is Back Door Blues, a feature about “backdoor pilots.” Backdoor pilots are episodes of regular TV series that are intended to also work as pilots for a new series. Sometimes these pilots obtain picked up, but a lot of times they did not get picked up. I’ll spotlight examples of both successful and failed backdoor pilots.
December is a month of Endorse Door Blues! Following our look at how The Facts of Life‘s series finale tried to place up a new series, we’ll look at a week’s worth of series finales serving as backdoor pilots!

SERIES IT AIRED ONLaverne and Shirley
As I’m sure you know by now, the final season of Laverne and Shirley was extremely depressing, as Cindy Williams (Shirley) left the display at the start of the season, leaving Penny Marshall alone as Laverne sans Shirley. Marshall was obviously the star of the show, so it wasn’t quite as dramatic as, say,
How ‘Laverne and Shirley’ Brought ‘Blue Collar Girls’ to TV
On Jan. 27, 1976, television welcomed its first female-fronted blue-collar comedy, Laverne & Shirley.
The characters had originally shown up on TV in 1975, appearing for the first time in an episode of Happy Days. Garry Marshall, the hugely thriving television producer, based the duo on two women he’d met during his dating days in Brooklyn.
“We took these two girls out and we walked into this diner at three o’clock in the morning. And some miss at one of the booths said something to the girl I was with,” Marshall recalled to the Archives of American Television. Tensions between the women soon escalated. “My date said, ‘Hold my coat,' and took the girl out of the booth and punched her in the head. And they were killing, four girls, beating each other up.” Though Marshall never saw his hang out again, the traits remained in his brain: “That’s what we should accomplish. We should procure two girls appreciate that.”
As brutish girls “from the other side of the tracks,” Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney stood out on Happy Days, t
One of many sweaters I need to ownThe Nanny
Let’s initiate with my terrible confession: For decades, I’ve been false about The Nanny. (And also about Steve Urkel, but we’ll get to him later.)
Long, drawn-out ago, when The Nanny was originally on the gas, I considered myself more of a Frasier gay than a Nanny gay; I assumed that Fran Drescher’s display was all crass sex jokes, annoying child actors, and wall-to-wall heterosexuality.
But oh. Oh valued. I was so wrong. Terribly, horribly, homosexually wrong. At the urging of some friends, I’ve been giving the show a second chance, now that it’s available in crystal-clear fidelity via HBO. And not only is it honest-to-goodness very very funny, it is surprisingly queer. And not just because it’s basically The Sound of Music meets Mame on Broadway! It also has a startling approach to queer characters that really caught my eye.
The ‘90s — particularly the early-to-mid section — was a hour for gay characters on sitcoms to be a crisis or awkward or a challenge. Whether it’s Friends, or The Simpsons, or Murphy Brown, or Designing Women, gender non-conforming sitcom episodes in the ‘90s manage to focus on queer characters as a source of troub
