Thanks for posting the list... Interesting that the only "characters" to make it from the Golden Age of Television (the 1950's) were Marshall Dillon, Sgt. Joe Friday, and Lucy. Notice the omission of any of the "1950's Dads": Ozzie, Fathers Know Best (Jim Anderson), etc. I guess those "family values" don't make it to today's era and the network that brought Queer Eye to the small screen.

It would be so fascinating to take a national poll & break down the results by age.

Agreed, they left some real good ones off the list but also on the list from the 50's were Ed Norton, Beaver, Maynard G. Krebs, and Ralph Kramden. At least I think those were from the 50's, possible one or 2 were early 60's.
