Where To Watch
Can you name the TV show that featured these boss characters?
Bosses have long been a part of TV shows. On sitcoms, they are typically portrayed as bald men with three piece suits, a big desk and a hot temper. On cop shows, the boss is likely a screaming captain, typically portrayed as a bald man with a button-down shirt, a messy desk and a hot temper.
More often than not, however, they prove themselves to be nice guys after all.
Let's see how well you can identify some memorable bosses from classic television. We'll start with some recurring characters… before we get into some more obscure characters. If you can get 8 or more of these right, you deserve a promotion.

#10 was Ed Platt--who, by the way, also played the "Chief" on "Get Smart".
You got 10 out of 10

8/10, not bad since I never watched half the shows. Almost missed #10, Ed Platt, from Get Smart (not a choice).
Uh you forgot about cartoon bosses MeTV. ;)
