TV Land Plans ‘Laverne And Shirley’ Real Life Pilot

Posted in Pilot Info at 7:29 pm by Rick Ellis

In what could be one of the dumbest ideas of all time, TVLand has ordered a pilot for an updated Laverne and Shirley series.

The network’s president, Larry Jones, said he is developing a loosely scripted show featuring the real Laverne & Shirley, Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams. As themselves.

He said a pilot, with the duo living together at Penny’s house, is scheduled to shoot next month. It would pair the actresses in a series for the first time since collaborating on the long-running sitcom, “Laverne & Shirley.”
