The apartment building, and Laverne & Shirley's residence there, would be referenced thirty-four years later in the A To Z episode "E Is For Ectoplasm". In this series, roommates Zelda and Stephie, upon learned that they moved into the apartment building from Laverne & Shirley, decide to dress as the characters every year for Halloween.
