Laverne & Shirley Season 4 Episode 17 Supermarket Sweep

Laverne & Shirley season 4 episode 17, titled "Supermarket Sweep," follows the two best friends as they participate in a televised game show at their local supermarket. The winner of the game show gets to keep everything they can grab within a certain timeframe, and Laverne and Shirley are determined to win big.

The episode opens with Laverne and Shirley excitedly watching the television in their apartment. They see an advertisement for a new game show called "Supermarket Sweep" and immediately decide to apply to be contestants. When they receive their invitation to appear on the show, Laverne and Shirley are ecstatic.

On the day of the taping, Laverne and Shirley arrive at the supermarket ready to win. They are introduced to the other contestants, including a husband and wife team and a group of college students. The host of the show explains the rules: the contestants have a certain amount of time to grab as many expensive items as possible within the store, and the team with the highest total at the end wins.

Laverne and Shirley are immediately in their element, running through the aisles and grabbing anything they can get their hands on. They start off strong, filling their carts with expensive meats, cheeses, and wines. However, as the time ticks away, they begin to panic. They realize they have wasted too much time in the gourmet foods section and need to move quickly if they want to win.

In the last few seconds of the game, Laverne and Shirley make a final dash to the electronics section of the store. They manage to grab a large television, a stereo system, and several other expensive gadgets. When the buzzer sounds and the game is over, Laverne and Shirley are confident that they have won. However, the other teams also have impressive hauls, and it's unclear who will come out on top.

The final tally reveals that Laverne and Shirley have won the game by a narrow margin. They are delighted and jump up and down with excitement. As the other contestants congratulate them, Laverne and Shirley realize that they have a problem - their apartment is already full of stuff, and they have nowhere to put all the new items they have won.

The rest of the episode follows Laverne and Shirley as they try to find space for all their new possessions. They try to cram everything into their already-packed apartment, but it's clear that they need to get creative. Eventually, they come up with a plan to turn their apartment into a sort of makeshift store, selling their excess items to their friends and neighbors.

In the end, Laverne and Shirley manage to make a profit and clear out some space in their apartment. They are happy with their winnings from the game show but agree that they'd never want to go through the stress of another shopping spree again. The episode ends with the two of them cuddled up on the couch, surrounded by their newly acquired items and watching the television.
