I would have moved Mary Tyler Moore up the list, simply because she was an inspiration to a lot of single working women—but that is nit picking.

Its funny, the ones from the late 60-70s I know. Then I got married and I know fewer. Then we had kids. I don’t know any of them.

And now, I am learning some of the newer ones. Its like I had a 25-year drunk black out from 1990 through 2015.

They also left out Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable and George Jefferson (two great characters).

I had not heard that. Sad.

Not my field of expertise but I am missing Ernest T. Bass and Briscoe Darling, and Larry Darryl & Darryl. Guess I have a thing for marginal hominids.

I could never get sick of looking at Lynda Carter. Listening to her, yes, but not looking at her :-) .

Another favorite from that time is Erin Gray (Col. Wilma Deering on Buck Rogers).

" I’ll never know the touch of a beautiful woman."

I never appreciated until later how much they "made down" (vice "make-up") Katey Sagal to play Peg Bundy.

Shame on TV Guide for showing a picture of Steve Martin as Sgt. Bilko rather than Phil Silvers.

I binge watched the Rockford Files last year. Can’t remember if it was on Netflix or Amazon Prime. So 60s-70s iconic. It was as good as I remembered it.

Not a single character from WKRP. Epic fail.

Roseanne Barr instead of Loni Anderson? /facepalm

Ahh yes, Erin Gray.

That smile, those eyes, killed me.
