Can you name these characters from later seasons of hit shows?

On TV's longest running shows, it's never too late to incorporate a great new cast member.

 
The further removed you are from the last time you watched your favorite shows, the more likely it is that you may forget minor and even major details, including entire cast members who joined classic series in later seasons.

Here, we've pulled cast members from some of TV's longest-running shows who appeared after the sixth season. To make it extra challenging, you have to choose the right name out of a selection of names of other actual cast members.

Think you can name them all? True MeTV fans definitely can. Good luck!

Didn't watch those shows, so I guessed. 6/10 just on guesses isn't too bad.

Jenny Piccolo (also Jenny Piccalo) – Joanie's boy-crazy best friend (1980–83), frequently mentioned but never seen in early episodes. She made her first on-screen appearance in the eighth season and remained a recurring character through the ninth season, becoming a regular during the tenth season in 1983. She returned as a guest star in the 1984 series finale. Jenny's father, played by Cathy Silvers' real-life father Phil Silvers, appeared in one episode.

could have sworn it was "Julie"not Judy McCoy
Julie was the first cruise director. Her sister (or was it cousin) Judy took over when she left.

8/10. Messed up on Judy McCoy (gave up on the show after season 1
The stories were too repetitive) and on the Hawai'i 5-0 question. I had no idea who he is or was.

Technically, Jenny Piccalo has been part of "Happy Days" since earlier in the series; you've just never SEEN her until season 8.

Yes, that's why the question is worded "first appears". We heard about Jenny Picallo from the beginning, but we didn't see her until season 8. She's played by Phil Silvers' daughter and he even played her father in one episode. That's the only time they ever acted together.
