Who is your favorite TV star of years past, that you don't see much of now?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20784)   ranked 4 out of 4,082 in watching television 5 years ago

Who are some of the TV stars you really liked back in the day, but now don't see much of unless you are watching an episdoe of "Where are They Now?"

For instance, I really grew up with Candace Cameron (Bure) who was D.J. on Full House. In addition, I wonder what Fran Drescher is up to or what ever happened to Loretta Swit, from M*A*S*H.

Oh I go back a bit farther. I Loved Michael Landon from being Lil' Joe on Bonanza. I Loved Ward Bond on Wagon Train. And still the ever classy and still very handsome James Garner.:::::::Sigh and be still my heart.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Fishmomma (4018)   ranked 11 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

James Garner is such a great actor. Presently, he is working on a movie and I'm sure I will watch it when its finished. Its a movie for the family, so I'm very thrilled.


myLot reputation of 94/100. bgerig (1135)   ranked 84 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

actually the actors who played Ben Cartwright, Hoss, and Lil' Joe were all great on Bonanza.

Did you also watch Michael Landon on Highway to Heaven? I really liked him. It was a shock to me when he died.


myLot reputation of 99/100. matlgal (811)  5 years ago

Yes I very much loved him on "Highway to Heaven" It seemed that everything he did, he did well. It was such a waste for him to die.

Thank you for Best Response I am honored.

I have already mentioned James Garner, but another actor I enjoyed watching was Jack Klugman. He was on Quincy and The Odd Couple for many years. He has guest starred on many shows over the years.


myLot reputation of 94/100. bgerig (1135)   ranked 84 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

yes, when you consider his entire body of work, he would have to be up there too.

Many of the stars I loved have passed away, I do not think you can get any better than Jimmy Stewart, I think that is why I love Tom Hanks so much, his acting reminds me of Jimmy.

From TV, well, some of my faves are back, ie, Calista Flockhart and Sally Field in Brothers and Sisiters, which is a show I have grown fond of.
James Spader and William Shatner, along with Candice Bergman in Boston Legal, which is presently my favorite show.

I sometimes wonder about the cast of Carol Burnett, now that was a funny show!

I too was madly in love with Lil Joe or Michael Landon, I loved him as Charles Ingalls too.

What about Troy Donahue, whoa, he made my heart pitter patter, lol

and I would love to see the cast of Dark Shadows!


myLot reputation of 94/100. bgerig (1135)   ranked 84 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

Current stars Cally Field, James Spader, William Shatner, Candice Bergman are all tremendous!


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20784)   ranked 4 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

I've only seen the Carol Burnett Show from Nick-at-Nite, but my mom has loved it for years. Tim Conway was a classic and his bits never get old. I remember Vicki Lawrence had a talk show about 8 years ago. They were all so talented.

generally, my favorite stars come from comedy. All time favorite is Lucille Ball. Not only was she great in front of the camera, but she was the driving force (and owner)of Desilu Productions which developed the three camera shooting technique.
Mary Tyler Moore, Johnny Carson, Ed Asner, and James Broderick are other great stars. Asner for both comedy and dramatic roles, Broderick for his great acting on Family. John Travolta was great on Welcome Back Kotter and who can forget Michael J Fox as Alex Keaton on Family Ties.


myLot reputation of 96/100. lovesfreedom (686)   ranked 1,434 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

I adored Michael J Fox on that show! I later met him at Yellowstone aprk, he was playing his real life role of daddy and i was so impressed with how loving he was and how he kept his kids in check.


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20784)   ranked 4 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

Welcome Back Kotter, that was a good one. John Travolta could work a camera! But my favorite on that show was Horseshack. Last I heard, he became a very successful businessman.

Daa, Naa, Naa, Nah, The Six Million Dollar Man.
Lee Majors, A.K.A. Steve Austin, costs more than
six million today. That is why you don't see him.


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20784)   ranked 4 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

Good choice. Did you also watch the Bionic Woman?


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)   ranked 1 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

I see him now and then on commericals :) I loved watching it and the Bionic Woman. Of course a several years ago when I was grading papers and they were talking about Steve Austin it really confused me until I found out he's a wrestler.

Diana Canova, who played Corinne Tate-Flotsky from Soap. I caught her on a sitcom called "Throb" (about a record production company) six years later, but that's the only thing I have seen her in since Soap.

We used to love watching The Cosby Show with Bill Cosby! I loved that show! We always laughed so hard, every single week!

When I was younger, it was Little House on the Prairie... the other show that Michael Landon was in.... Yes, I liked Bonanza, and Touched by an Angel, but Little House was "my" show! I was the same age as Laura, so I always had dreams that she was my best friend. I always said I would love to live in that time period!

Well I loved Lynda carter on Wonder Woman. I saw her renently on a Law and Order. Of course I also saw Betty Buckley (played Abby on 8 is Enough) on there. They have been getting guest stars from back then which I love to see happen. I haven't seen Scott Baio in a long time. I loved watching him in "Charles In Charge". Also the actors from "Facts Of Life" especially Nancy McKeon. I loved that show and the characters. I saw her do some made for TV movies afterwards but then nothing lately. I have to wonder what they are doing.


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20784)   ranked 4 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

Still today Lynda Carter is a beauty. Who can act! So I wish someone had snatched her up for more than just those TV movies of the week she did several years ago.


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)   ranked 1 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

Did you see her in Sky High? She was great in that. She is still a beauty I agree and she can act. It would have been nice if she could have done more.


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20784)   ranked 4 out of 4,082 in watching television  5 years ago

I don't think I've ever heard of 'Sky High.' I'll have to look it up.
