Now ask something difficult, like is Spock better than Kirk, Ed Norton better than Ralph, or Kerwin better than Sven.
That would be an interesting poll

Big SueAnn Nivens fan. That Happy Homemaker was hilarious.
Choosing between Alice and the Brady family is like choosing between drinking Drano or paint thinner.
In the case of Happy Days, I would imagine that Ron Howard had a clause in his contract guaranteeing him top billing on the show. So no matter how popular Fonzie became, Henry Winkler would never receive that.
That show was alright during the first two seasons, good, not great but still fun. Then they dumbed it down and it became popular.
And Mork came on and Fonz was waterskiing over a shark. Still a good show.
Fonz was good in the beginning toward the end he became preachy. Fonzi a school teacher and everything in between, it’s like he had multiple personalities

70%. Who in the world would prefer Chester to Matt Dillon?
I prefer Chester to Festus, I prefer the half hour episodes to the hour long ones. Chester had more of a personality than Dillion.
I’m a big Festus fan 🫏. I completely prefer the half hour Gunsmokes. Matt was always front and center in the story. 🤠

Morey Surrelle? Wasn’t it Morey Amsterdam playing Buddy Sorrell?
Yes. The character was loosely based on Mel Brooks.
🤣🤣🤣
Yes!
100% similar. On #6 they wrote Morey Sorrell. It was Buddy Sorrell played by Morey Amsterdam. 🤭
I often wonder where they get their information. But there errors are always called out. Viewers know their shows
Ben Cartwright and Matt Dillon will always be one of my favorite characters in fiction
90% Onlu one I went against the majority was I think Lenny & Squiggy would have been an interesting show
Their appearances were funnier than the rest of the show.
I think they were good because Michael McKean who was Lenny is so brilliant. I loved it when they were on.
