Who is the most loved person on all TV shows?

I love Lucy.

Valerie Singleton

I'd have to agree about Lucy. I have a cousin who did not love Lucy but she was about the only person I've ever heard of who didn't.

Not necessarily my personal favorites, but these would be overall contenders, IMO, based on the longevity and pop following of their respective programs.

Goober, Barney, or Andy of The Andy Griffith Show (TAGS).

Al on Home Improvement (people love the underdog for some reason).

Lucy, as mentioned above.

The Three Stooges, collectively. Curly above the others.

I hated Lucy, but I loved Gracie.

Good night, Gracie.

Andy Griffith

I love Gracie too but how could anyone hate Lucy!

It was too cool that she was this white chick married to a Cuban guy - in the 50s!

She was the first pregnant woman on TV.

Back when women were pearls and heels to cook dinner she was trying her hand in the job market.

Plus, she was just flat out funny.

I would have to name
Lucy
Allan Alda
Andy Griffith and Barney

Lucy


Well, Lucy for most loved.

Me, I loved Richard Pryor.. (edit to say I'm suddenly thinking I saw movies of his live in concerts... and not tv shows.)

George Stevens.

Buffalo Bob. Geez, I miss the ole fella....

George Stevens the director?

Howdy, I got to see you, in my youth. Sad to say, I didn't fixate on you, schniff, but instead the city, as I was there in NY for a short memorable year and the HD show was a day in the life. I do vaguely remember Buffalo Bob and Clarabelle. I think I was at least partly annoyed, but didn't have enough sense of myself at the time to get that. It was, after all, 1949-50, early days tv, and I had just gotten used to radio and Sargent Preston. My dad worked at RKO, upstairs, thus I got in to a show on a visit to 'dad's office'.

George Stevens, the KINGFISH:

different people...

And then there was George Stevens, Jr. I think different guys, one the son of the first, but I have to double check. One was head of US Information Agency, I think.

this is junior...

My dad knew the director father, somehow.

I didn't watch kingfish. Not sure at this point if that is a neg or positive. Tell me more...

I listed three or four people earlier. They were based on longevity, etc. My personal favorites are
Richard Boone
Allan Alda
James Garner
the cast of Sienfeld
Carol O'Conner
Bill Cosby
