For the first time in more than 30 years, Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams from the classic TV series Laverne & Shirley are back together with an appearance on Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat. Marshall and Williams haven’t been together on a scripted series in three decades since the end of Laverne & Shirley‘s run back in 1983, but they’re back playing creators of a ’70s series in the family-friendly Sam & Cat.
The episode details: “In the episode, Sam and Cat are ordered to rename their babysitting business because it’s too similar to ‘Salmon Cat,’ a TV show from the ‘70s. Sam and Cat must track down the show’s two original creators (played by Marshall and Williams) and resolve their three decade-long feud.”
Sam & Cat starring Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande is Nickelodeon’s #1 live action series. The show, which debuted to 4.2 million viewers, is a spinoff of iCarly and Victorious.
The Plot: Sam & Cat follows feisty Sam and flighty Cat as they become best friends and unlikely roommates who start a babysitting service.
