Laverne and Rhoda might clobber each other, but I think Mary and Shirley would face off only with expressions of distress. Shirley was known as "Girly Shirley Feeney," after all, and I believe Mary once acknowledged that in her family to show anger, "we purse our lips."Jacqueline T.

But after that, as the climate of TV changes and topics they were allowed to address, such as abortion, become TV taboos, they dwindle into wraiths of their former selves and likely would lose. Except...<BR/><BR/>If this is during the later seasons of Laverne and Shirley, the quality of everything is shrinking and eventually Shirley evaporates, leaving her outnumbered by Mary and Rhoda, who might then be able to take Laverne.<BR/><BR/>However, if Laverne and Shirley do lose the fight, you can count on Lenny and Squiggy to cook up some utterly foolish scheme of revenge on Mary and Rhoda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
