Funny episode to end the season

I have to admit when the episode started and they all were acting out the Mother Goose characters in the apartment, I rolled my eyes thinking it was going to be a stinker.

But when Laverne and Shirley had to do the whole play by themselves on stage the laughs begin. Laverne was hysterical as the cow and then trying to stall for time while Shirley was changing to the other character.

She had me laughing out loud swaying her hips with the cow udders around her waist and then not knowing what else to do to stall, she starts chewing on the cardboard tree because I guess she thought that's what cows do lol.

Another laugh out loud moment for me was when she dressed up as the Big Bad Wolf dressed up as Grandma but forgot to take the udders off. The whole skit was funny and classic Laverne & Shirley comedy. I wish more episodes were like this one and i'm glad the season went off on a high comedy note. On to season 7 now.....

I actually would consider this one of my favorites. The two plays going on at once. Laverne and Shirley as a duel are (as I continue to say) fantastic together. It's a fun season finale but it can easily be in any episode.

Too much L&S, not enough S&L

In this episode, Laverne and Shirley act all parts of a play written by Shirley. Needless to say, it's a real mess and the source of comedy. The two women switch between a multitude of Mother Goose characters and characters from fairy tales, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, The Prince, and The Cow that Jumped Over the Moon.

This is the kind of humor that makes viewers either fans or detractors, depending upon one's taste.

Shirley is very earnest in her desire to present an entertaining show. Laverne is mostly clueless. At one point she literally chews the scenery.

Squiggy and Lenny are, comedically, the best part of the show. This episode could have used more of them.
