About 6 years ago, she was on my friend's radio show, and Dave Lerman was on there too, and kept talking over her.
She kept yelling at him to shut up. It was hilarious.
With both of them passing within 3 months of each other, now she can yell at him again in heaven.
This was one of three major TV shows set in Milwaukee -- the other two being Happy Days (which spun off Laverne and Shirley) and That '70s Show (which had nothing to do with Happy Days, but whose creators paid homage to by the greater Milwaukee setting).
It is likely that Penny Marshall got the role because of her brother, Garry, being an executive producer.
And she had a Vegas connection by appearing in Menopause The Musical at Harrahs off and on in the past decade.
RIP Shirley, the Big Ragu is waiting for you.
That's right, I forgot about that.Originally Posted by The Boz
Probably because Menopause the Musical isn't aimed at all at the male demographic. I have to imagine that older women vacationing with friends go see it, or wives of husbands who drop them off there while they go degen off in the pits.
I've gotten old enough to where most adults stars on TV shows I saw as a kid are dead now. 75 is a bit young for a woman to die. The US life expectancy for females is 79, and if you take out the outliers who die early from either accidents, violence, or drug/alcohol abuse, it's well over 80.
That 70's show was set in Point Place, which is a fictional town, based on a suburb of Green Bay
. redacted thought she was in flying nun also googled Sally Field
Oh, I had remembered it being a fictional suburb of Milwaukee.That 70's show was set in Point Place, which is a fictional town, based on a suburb of Green Bay
I do remember when the show first started, the creators said they chose the Wisconsin location as a homage to Happy Days, as it had a similar theme (both were shows depicting family life in a time period two decades prior).
In seasons 6-8 Laverne and Shirley moved to Los Angeles after losing their bottle capping jobs .
As you would expect, nothing good happens in LA and the show was cancelled.
I can't think of a single show where the setting moves well into its run, and it improves ratings. That's almost always a sign that the series is about to go off the air.In seasons 6-8 Laverne and Shirley moved to Los Angeles after losing their bottle capping jobs .

A similar death knell involves the addition of several new major characters (usually replacing others who have left).
Speaking of Happy Days, how sad was it when they stopped even trying to depict the '50s/'60s, and everyone looked like they were in the mid-80s time period when it aired? Shameful.
