Merv, Hello Larry, Everybody Hates Chris, The Danny Thomas Show, Martin, The Bernie Mack Show, Archie Bunker’s Place, Gomer Pyle USMC . . .

What are some titles of television shows that include masculine given names, a.k.a. first names*? Excludes any television show titles that only contain last names and surnames that do not double as given names or first names.

TELEVISION SHOWS ONLY, PLEASE. NO MOVIES. Sitcoms, dramas, mini-series, talk shows, game shows, news programs, reality, soap operas, etc. may be used, but excluding all television movies, all theatrical movies that are rebroadcast on television, and any movies adapted to television.

*Meaning those given names and first names that are usually associated with males as opposed to females.

    On that particular show, Gilligan is the character’s given name.

    Why did you give so many of the answers with your question?

    You did leave out The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, The Dick van Dyke Show, The Jackie Gleason Show, and The Ed Sullivan Show.

      I had to give you something to whine about (not that you’ve shown you need either the assistance or the provocation; you quite often find excuses), right?


     Why did you whine that I gave “so many” answers then phrase it as which ones I left out? There are literally dozens of not hundreds of possible answers (based on the myriad of shows that have existed since worldwide television programming began), so my list only covers a smidgen. Barely a drop in the bucket.

      Sorry to have ruined yet another of your days. Try taking two aspirin and not calling me in the morning.

      Oh, by the way: tag, you’re it.

    …dozens of if not hundreds…

    You gave eight of them when one or two would’ve sufficed.

    Grrrrr.

      If you opine that the question should have been written differently, you’re as perfectly free to post questions of your own written in the manner that you see fit as I. Seeing that I have that same freedom, once again your protests fall on deaf ears; I will not alter nor edit this question for you, and as a special treat, I shall make every effort to post future submissions in ways similar to this one. When there are hundreds of examples from which to choose, a mere half dozen preliminary ones don’t taint the pool.

    I liked this program. I was not happy when it was cancelled.

    Another favorite:

    The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show




    And of course: Mr. Ed

      Wait a second! Aren’t YOU the who bandies about the quip “Google is your friend” and demanding that others use it instead of asking here? Is the physician not healing himself? Is this a case of do as you say but not as you do? Doth the pot call the kettle noir? You have one set of Stu Rules for others to follow and completely different rules for yourself? Ha! Catchya!

     Careful, now! Stu will writhe in pain when he sees you’ve helped to prove my point that there are dozens if not hundreds of possibilities that apply here. You know how he gets when facts get in the way of his stubbornness. Grrrrrrr. (LoLLoL.)



      P.S. I wish could award you Asker’s Pick for both of your responses. You’re a gem!

    OK! Yesterday, when I got to Spongebob, I could no longer "return" to add another line (??). Today, I tried cut and paste. It worked. I also numbered the list but the numbers don't show up (??).

      Duly noted. The part about numbers not showing up when you submit a list here has happened with my posts many times, and it is aggravating.
