Nah, Laverne was always the money. That show was created by Gary Marshall to showcase Cindy Marshall. The casting of her buddy was incidental from the start.
They might TRY to go on without Charlie for a while if they think they can make money at it, but the show has pretty much run its course as it is.
I never really watched Laverne and Shirley but I knew about the other things. They can't recast the role, I guess they could bring in someone to be a Charlie like character but there would go the brother bickering which makes up much of the show.
They could pull a soap opera type thing and have a long lost brother, but that would be kinda lame.
I can't believe he's really uttering those words in public. He's making Mel look pretty damned balanced, although I'm still not feeling actual menace.
Yet.
Maybe when he's hopped up on blow he menaces hookers.
With fire-breathing fists.
I only like the kitten part of this picture. It's adorbs. Charlie needs to look at pictures of kittens.
I suppose you could turn the kid 18 and get a new half-man.
It could be funny to have Duckie come into a bunch of money and start acting all Charlie. Charlie goes off to a monestary. The kid acts like Duckie because now there is a kid he feels the need to save from corruption - Charlie's seekrit child with the stalker neighbor or somesuch.
I'm still stuck on the part where he defeats earthworms with words and his fists breathe. Next thing he'll be going through the desert on a horse with no name.

Oh man, I almost choked on my tea.
Earthworm is a really underused insult, too. Although "Earthworms and blow!" doesn't have the same ring to it.
