In a similar vein, the role of Trixie in the 1966-70 Jackie Gleason show was played by Jane Kean, who unfortunately went on-topic back in 2013.Īnd I would like to thank Michael O'Connor for his invaluable translations of Lassie's dialogue. Jed Allan did not join the cast until 1968. June Lockhart had left "Lassie" in 1964, while Cloris Leachman appeared in just one season in the 1950s. Am I just missing something here perhaps? That being said, I cannot find any reference to Dick Van Dyke ever appearing regularly, either before or following Walt's passing.

I should probably have treated "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" in the same manner as the movie nights, since it became - as you pointed out - a host-less anthology series following Disney's death in 1966. or did the Lennon Sisters really appear just 28 times throughout the program's entire run? While I felt fairly safe relying on the IMDb for scripted series data, its listings for variety shows seem to be much less reliable. Thanks to everybody for the additions to the list, especially with respect to the musical/variety performers who certainly deserve acknowledgement. I Dream of Jeannie: Barbara Eden, Bill Daily The Flying Nun: Sally Field, Shelley Morrison Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: David Hedison Star Trek: William Shatner, Nichelle Nicholls, George Takei, Walter Koenig, not sure about Grace Lee Whitney Lost in Space: Billy Mumy, Marta Kristen, Angela Cartwright, Mark Goddard, June Lockhart Petticoat Junction: some of the Bradley girls are still of-topic. The Monkees: Mickey Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork possibly perennial villain Monte Landis. have at it!!ĪND brothers Stanley (Chip) and Barry (Ernie) Livingston Please do not hesitate to correct any errors or omissions on my part, and if anybody else wishes to dig deeper into the ratings (i.e., Star Trek) to add to this little compendium. Hope you enjoy this list as much as I enjoyed putting it together. The only survivors from the single 1967 entry are Ruth Buzzi, Arte Johnson and JoAnne Worley. Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was a one-shot special in September 1967, and did not appear as a weekly series until January 1968.
Other notable survivors from 1967 include Sara Lane, Clu Gulager, Don Quine and David Hartman, just to name a few. The Virginian had many reasonably regular cast members throughout its nearly 250 episode run, but no survivor made even half as many appearances as James Drury. Jim Nabors (for instance) had moved on from the Andy Griffith Show by that time, as had June Lockhart from Lassie, and Tim Conway had yet to join the Carol Burnett repertory company. I have included only those performers who were regular cast members on a given show as of October 1967. Notes: There are only 26 "Top 30" programs listed here the other four were movie nights (remember those?). The Carol Burnett Show - Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner Ironside - Barbara Anderson (Eve Whitfield) Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color - no survivors My Three Sons - Tim Consodine (Mike Douglas), Tina Cole (Katie Douglas) Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In - not included (see below) Gentle Ben - Beth Brickell (Ellen Wedloe), Rance Howard (Henry Boomhauer) The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour - Tom Smothers, Dick Smothers The Virginian - James Drury (the Virginian), many others (see below) Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle), Ronnie Schell (Duke Slater)įamily Affair - Kathy Garver (Cissy Davis) In order to keep things manageable, I have limited the list of shows to those in the Nielsen Top 30 (readily available), defined "adult" as a cast member beyond their teens (sorry, Ron Howard), and have not included regularly recurring guest performers, musicians, etc., which probably unfairly impacts variety programs, and is admittedly as arbitrary as hell.

Strictly out of personal curiosity, I did a little research and have assembled a list of surviving adult cast members from American TV shows that were on the air fifty years ago today.
