I liked The Cosby Show, but it's the only one here I've watched. How is The Bill Cosby Show? Where he plays Chet, not Heathcliff.

My vote: The Bob Newhart Show
May I suggest a few edits (just a little bit of punctuation)? They're in bold below:
In the early years of television, through the 1970's, whenever a major movie star got his or her own TV series, their name was used as the title of the series. Which series to feature the name of the star in the title was your favorite?
'What a nice poll: it's reminding me of when I was growing up, watching reruns of several of these shows with my mom, which means I wasn't getting left in a tree, or some such thing, by my older brothers, lol.

Just curious, why do you have The Lucy Show, The Cosby Show and the Sinbad Show but you didn't add The Mindy Show?

I was going to add it but I couldn't find any reference to it being called The Mindy Show. I appears as The Mindy Project on the website.

TheMovieSmith,
How did we miss MTM?!???This is a major oversight. Your poll currently only has 24 choice. Please add Mary Tyler Moore (1970–1977) to the end of your list and ask for a re-push.
