Garry Marshall
In 1961, he moved to Hollywood, where he teamed up with Jerry Belson as a writer for television. The pair worked on "The Dick Van Dyke Show", "The Joey Bishop Show", "The Danny Thomas Show", and "The Lucy Show". Their first television series as creator-producers was "Hey, Landlord", which lasted one season (1966–67). Then they adapted Neil Simon's play "The Odd Couple" for television. On his own, Marshall created "Happy Days", "Laverne and Shirley" (starring his sister Penny), and "Mork & Mindy", which were produced by his associates Thomas L. Miller, Robert L. Boyett, and Edward K. Milkis. He was also a co-creator of "Makin' It", which the three men also produced.
