Description:  Laverne & Shirley in the Army was a 1981 Saturday morning cartoon that followed the titular characters after they enlisted in the army, based on a two-part episode of the live-action sitcom. It featured Laverne and Shirley getting into wacky situations alongside their talking pig sergeant, Sergeant Squeely, with other characters like the Fonz and Mr. Cool being added in the second season to boost ratings.

Origin: The series was a spin-off of the live-action Laverne & Shirley, inspired by the Season 5 two-part episode "We're in the Army, Now" where the duo joins the military.

Premise: The cartoon centered on Laverne and Shirley's misadventures as they served in the army, often with their sidekick Sergeant Squeely, a talking pig voiced by Ron Palillo.

Voice actors: Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams voiced the main characters, while Ron Palillo voiced Sergeant Squeely.

Later seasons: For the second season, the show was renamed Laverne & Shirley with The Fonz, and the animated Fonzie (voiced by Henry Winkler) and his dog Mr. Cool were added as characters who worked as mechanics. Lynne Marie Stewart replaced Cindy Williams as the voice of Shirley in the second season.
