Today in “Laverne & Shirley” HERstory… January 10, 1978: “The Mortician” airs. A personal top-ten favorite of mine, Laverne follows a cute stranger from the bus to his place of business… which happens to be a mortuary. Unwilling to be honest with him about why she followed him, Laverne tells him that her roommate is dying. Will Shirley play along and help her best friend out? (Of course she will.) “Kool-Aid?” “No.” has been SENDING ME since 1998. Written by: Laura Levine. Directed by: Alan Rafki
