This is correct, but not the answer we are looking for. Good answer though!
There is another program that ran through 5 decades, is no longer on TV, and does have the world’s most recognizable characters.
Try again!
To: Thumper1960
I still lol when I remember Dan Ackroyd doin Jimmah on Saturday Night Live.

The basis for the Walton family, was series creator 'Earl Hamner' s real life family members. Hamner grew up with 7 other siblings each of whom served as the basis for each young Walton character. He also based the characters of 'The Walton's grandparents on composites of both of his Grandfathers and Grandmothers.

Number 1 is The Carol Burnett Show, not Mama’s Family.
The last one is NOT MASH. It certainly was NOT on for 5 decades.

To: laurenmarlowe
Answers are hidden below. Highlight them to read them. Don't if your still guessing:
1.The Carol Burnett Show
2.Mork and Mindy (via "Happy Days"!)
3.Kojak ("Who loves ya, baby?")
4.Dan Blocker (and wouldn't you know, when they brought it back, they didn't hire Dirk Blocker to play Hoss's son.)
5.John Travolta. (I'd add "duh", but that wasn't until the late 80s.)
Round Two
1.Okay, you got me on this one. I wasn't too much into "dramas" in the 70s, unless they were action/adventure. My guess would be "Family", but that seems too obvious. I don't remember a "Spencer" family.
2.Laverne & Shirley and Joanie Loves Chaci are the main ones. (No reason for JLC, by the time they left they were the stars on Happy Days, go figure.) Mork & Mindy was another spin-off. Mr. T. and Tina was NOT a spinoff even though Pat Morita's character had the same name (unless it took place 20 years later after he lost his sense of humor). Cartoons? Hmmm, thought I remembered all those bad cartoons like "The Brady Kids". After I post this, I might have to check the imdb.
3.Steve Austin -- not the wrestler -- The Six Million Dollar Man. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.
4.Sounds like one of those shows that was on at 10:00pm. Past my bedtime. Wasn't Cannon or Mannix, was it?
5. What program spanned 5 decades, and featured the most recognizable characters in the world?
I haven't a clue as to what this question refers to. Spanned 5 decades? The people on it, or was it the end of a long-running show that started on radio?
The Star Trek franchise did that, but it wasn't on in the 70s, except for the cartoons and most would like to forget those.
Bonus: More "happy days"??
Well, obviously "Love, American Style"
Okay, I seem to know waaaaaay too much here, but at least I admit to the ones I didn't know.
But, oh, the obvious omissions! They're so glaring! Wow. 5. What program spanned 5 decades, and featured the most recognizable characters in the world?

no, wait, cant be sesame street OR Star Trek...5 DECADES?"spanned" five decades, which means as little as 41 years, if you play it right. Both Star Trek would fit the bill as it played on TV in the 60s-00s, although I wouldn't consider it a 70s show. (The cartoon was on then.) And it wasn't a continuous thing.
Sesame Street works if it started in 69, but I don't think it did, but again, I don't think that that's a 70s show.
Gunsmoke ended in the 70s and made the jump from radio before it, so that's a possibility.
Lucielle Ball played pretty much the same character in all her series, but I Love Lucy only counts if you count non-stop reruns of it. I Love Lucy was based on "My Favorite Husband" from the radio. (They even reused some of the scripts, updated for television.)
