25 Things About "Laverne & Shirley"-- Part 6: Don't Steal My Boo Boo


18.  Shirley Feeney's beloved Boo Boo Kitty became an inanimate series regular.  It was pulled out from under a bed by Cindy Williams.  Shirley improvised Boo Boo from her mom's car's name.  It was one of a kind and there were no duplicate Boo Boos.  The propmaster had to lock it up after each show was filmed.

19.  There was a line of merchandise for the show, including dolls of Laverne, Shirley, Lenny and Sqiggy.  Also a board game and coloring book among others.

20.  The show was filmed on Paramount's Stage 20.  This stage was also where the original "The Odd Couple" (on which Penny Marsall co-starred), "My Three Sons,"  "Star Trek Voyager" and "Primal Fear."

21.  In Season 3's talent show episode, Frances Williams, Cindy's mother, played Mrs. Bellini and Penny's mother Marjorie Marshall played the dance teacher.
