Classic actors/actresses, writers

"Queen of the comedy", she is often named like this, but for simple tv watchers she is only known as Lucy, which name she used in all of her shows. Only watched one though (I Love Lucy), she was definitely the 50's most influencing woman on later comedy actresses. Never will be my favourite though, without her, a perfect show (and then who knows) wouldn't have been written.

(1911 - 1989)

The Cuban actor, who is best remembered as Ricky Ricardo in the famous I Love Lucy series, and my favourite actor since then. A man of talent, which cannot be described, it's just so awesome. Not just his acting though, but even his laughing voice could made me laugh too for hours. It is clear, that he was the soul of the show.

(1917 - 1986)

Fred Mertz, neighbour of the Ricardos. With these words I could end the line, but William Frawley deserves more, because his own life experiences influenced his character (even the hate between Vivian Vance, her co-star actress). The moment where Ricky and Fred did anything together will be never forgotten.

(1887 - 1966)

Maybe the most remembered situations in the I Love Lucy show were those, where Fred and Ethel, the couple fighted. It wasn't a secret, that Vance and Frawley never liked each other, but that made the series even more exciting, watching lovers who are actually hating each other in real life.

(1909 - 1979)

Rod Serling was the sci-fi and thriller stories creator as I believe, because The Twilight Zone is definitely a frightening, but well written, and with its plot twists, it became a fantastic classic series. As a host, his voice at the begininng really took us into a fifth dimension, and at the ending, we couldn't escape from its grasp.

(1924 - 1975)

Alan Alda is famous for playing Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce,or just "Hawkeye", a surgeon in the long runnning tv show, M.A.S.H. Although Alan Alda's comedy acting at the beginning of the series were much more funny and better, but we must admit, that when we went on taking directing and writing credits on later M.A.S.H. episodes (such as the last, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen", which is the most watched television show episode of all time in the U.S.), it became creative, but more dramatic.

(1936 -

I only know Harry Morgan's performance from M.A.S.H., playing Colonel Sherman Potter from the fourth season. An awesome actor, who was really experienced in what he was doing, he not just replaced a famous actor (Mclean Stevenson playing Colonel Henry Blake for three seasons), but became a favourised character, making it both happy and sad moment, when they said goodbye to each other on the last day of the Korean War!

(1915 - 2011)

Although not my favourite character, playing James T. Kirk, captain of the starship Enterprise in the most popular sci-fi franchise Star Trek made him really famous, with his determined and sometimes egoist looking characteristic but in a great episode of the classic Twilight Zone, he made a fine acting (Nightmares at 20,000 feet)

(1931 -

Who wouldn't know the half-human, half-vulcan character from the Star Trek series, in which Nimoy even created a sign for the creators. Mr. Spock is the brain of the original tv show, without such a character, I bet it wouldn't have been such success.

And he just passed away... R.I.P. Spock

(1931 - 2015)

A kind and determined man, never carrying a gun, because he want to be respected by his will, not by his power. Simply said words, describing Andy Taylor, sheriff of Mayberry in one of the 60's best family comedies, The Andy Griffith Show.

(1926 - 2012)

In a few words we can desribe Andy Griffith, but not Don Knotts, whom I think was one of the best comedy actors in the whole world, and the character he played, Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show was not just hilarious for 5 seasons, but even wasn't replaceable after he had to leave the series.

(1924 - 2006)

Ted Danson will always be remembered as Sam Malone, the bartender from the long running series, Cheers. His performance made this situation comedy a classic 80's show, which is probably my favourite from that time. Of course he is not the only person, who made Cheers fantastic, though he is the only one, whose character remained the same in the whole series: humourous and dramatic.

(1947 -

Though I don't think, that Mary Tyler Moore is an awesome actress, because I sometimes found her acting really boring, and not even funny, there are moments in her life, that made her a "classic person". Her best performance absolutely is in Dick Van Dyke Show, playing Laura Petrie, a tv show writer's wife. With her playing an ordinary housewife, made a life not so ordinary.

(1936 -

Anchorman Tex Baxter in Mary Tyler Moore. I should not say anything more, Ted Knight made a fantastic appearance at the first season of the series, and remained until the show ended. Every joke is around him, it could have been called the Ted Knight Show, but that's another story I think.

(1923 - 1986)
