Laverne & Shirley : Chronology Problems

Chronology Problems

When Laverne & Shirley ended in 1983 it was 1967 but when Happy Days ended in 1984 it was 1965.

Re: Chronology Problems

I've come across many people confused by this...including me.

Here's how it works. -

Happy Days timeline was 10 years straight.
(Including the pilot on "Love American Style"
episode called "Love and the Happy Day")they went from 1955 to 1965.

That's the easy part.
-----------
The hard part -

When Laverne & Shirely's 5th season ended,it was Spring 1962.

With the first show of Season 6,it became1964/1965 and
nearly 2 and 1/2 years in the lives of the characters had been skipped.

I was confused for years on that! I thought,
"How did a show that ran 8 Seasons pass (11 season) Happy Days' timeline?

I was relieved when I finally nailed it.


By the way...I put this fact in the trivia
section of Sesason 6 episode 1. "Not Quite New York".


Hope that cleared it up for you.

Wow... So the show pulled a "Desperate Housewives" move! Thanks for clarifying! I never knew that.
