The original Laverne and Shirley!

I hope they find more videos of Lavern. She's a blast to watch , so animated. Enjoyed it very much. More personality than they have today

Jack buck is a legend! I grew up listening to him on the radio every summer while he covered the cardinals. I always had the games and once he was gone it just isnt the same. We here in missouri were so blessed to hear him regularly. You are missed mr. Buck!

Wish we never lost all the class people had back then, people were just generally happy to be anywhere most of he time.

Laverne vs Shirley, I like it

RIP AUNT SHIRLEY

I met her a few times. She was always very pleasant.

Brings back personal memories!!!! In 1971 my family was on vacation visiting relatives in Hoffman Estates. And as a bowling nut, at that time it was called Hoffman Estates Lanes. Looked just like the video!! Classic masking units, pinsetters etc. Took my nephew there to bowl and the idiot got his hand stuck in the ball return!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know how women bowled in those hot skirts! It must've been hotter than heck! Not to mention trying to slide in those things

Laverne Carter puts a tremendous amount of roll on the ball.

Shirley Garms seemed to be a nice woman, good woman bowler & good sport on the bowling lanes.

They should of had an ad for Shotz beer.

Ooooooo! Good one! Laverne (Carter), & Shirley (Farms). I hadn't put their names together, until I saw your comment about Lenny and Squiggy. That was a great show, Laverne and Shirley! We're gonna make our dreams come true!!! From what I seem to have heard, Laverne and Shirley was a spin-off show from Happy Days. I love the episode where Fonzie, at that time a member of the Falcons, challenges Richie to a rumble in an Alley. Richie actually shows up, and I guess that caught Fonzie totally by surprise! Richie goes to leave, being that Fonzie didn't show up exactly at their scheduled rumble...only to bump right into Fonzie, as Richie is leaving the Alley! Then-An ABSOLUTE miracle happens! The Fonz, after talking to Richie, goes to punch him, but kinda does this gentle tap on Richie's jaw. Then, Fonz does the strangest thing:He asks Richie his name! Soon after that, the Fonz not only leaves his Falcons Jacket in the Alley, he offers Richie a ride home, and they become best of friends! Fonzie could've knocked Richie out with a good solid punch to the jaw...but he saw something in Richie, especially after Richie points out to him just how dangerous Fonzie's lifestyle is, and that Fonzie could one day get himself killed living that way. Fonzie knew, right then and there, that Richie had a good heart, and that he even cared about Fonzie! That really had to grab at Fonzie's heart...here he came to beat up Richie, and yet, Richie cared enough to try to talk some sense into Fonzie...and it worked! I love that kind of caring about people. It says a lot to tell somebody that's getting ready to beat you up:"I care about you"! That takes guts! That night, Fonzie started a whole new life!

Laverne Carter was gorgeous!

Ah! Laverne & Shirley.

Nice to see that Buck stopped here.

I love a1 and a2 pinsetters

Just fascinating watching the pre-60s style. I think the society changed more in that one decade than it has in the last 50 years: some for the better, some for the worse. Don sure landed some spirited ladies. 😏

Don Carter was married to two different hall of famers.

At the same time. 😮

Laverne had big uns!

Laverne was getting herself way ahead of the ball in the first few frames, probably the nerves....both ladies, great bowlers!!

now I understand what Loa Boxberger told me a long time ago.

its LAVERNE & SHIRLEY!

If i didn't see the picture i would swear that the commentator was the late Leslie Nielsen !.

At 7:47, Buck asks which pin took out the 10. It was the king pin.

Both Brunswick staffers at this time

What year was this filmed? I didn't know they had bowling balls colored red, or any color other than black. I always thought they were all black rubber until plastic became popular.

Good Question, I'm thinking mid 60's. Great to see these historical shows.

He mentions '61 and 62' in past tense and this is #20. Show 6 was in '61 I think I heard while watching it a few hours ago. I believe this is 1963.

​@@sludge4125Evidently,not.This is far more entertaining than today's 'all ball less skill' stuff of today

On the wrong side of the headpin just like if you were driving a car? I think Jack was taking a shot at women driver's there. LOL!!! Jack Buck was a bit of a wiseacre back in the day.

"Shirley gets 'tapped' " ... 🙄
