Where To Watch
Do these TV stars spell their names with Mc or Mac?
Wait… is it Gavin McLeod or MacLeod? McLean or MacLean Stevenson?
Fair warning — taking this quiz might make you hungry for a Big Mac from McD's. When writing about classic TV, we come across many "Mc" and "Mac" names. You always have to pause for a moment to remember which one to use. Is it Darren McGavin or Darren MacGavin… or Gavin McLeod? Gavin this, Mac that. It's easy to get them confused.
So, think you can remember which is which? We gathered some of our favorite Mc and Mac actors from television — and a few characters and series, too. See if you can spell the names correctly!

Holy Mac 17/18, missed Floyd! That picture from Mchale's Navy was from one of the later seasons because Gavin Macleod is not in it. Never heard of 'Shirley's World'.

Producer Dick Ebersol) and they did a skit called McDonald and Wife with the legendary Joe Piscopo as Ronald McDonald.
