From the L&S history archives … September 28, 1976: Season two kicks off with the episode “Drive! She Said.” When Shirley asks Laverne to go in halfsies with her on a car, Laverne must confront her fear of driving. (This is completely contradictory to the fact that, in their inaugural episode of “Happy Days,” they own a car and both drive.🤣) Directed by Howard Storm. Written by Jack Winter. #laverneandshirley #pennymarshall #cindywilliams #lavernedefazio #shirleyfeeney #driveshesaid #shouldntwe
