Not to not-pick, but Larry Linville was not on “The Jeffersons”, but the short lived spin-off centered on Florence, “Checking In”.
EASY! Got all 12. But may not have had they not provided so many easy background clues. Linville was also one of the many police Captains that was always irritating Kolchak the Night Stalker ( & vice versa ).
11/12, pretty easy if you looked at the background actors.
But I disagree with their BS comment about the pompous windbag Farrel being a great addition to MASH. Partisan gasbags like him, along with Alda, turned the show into a left wing propaganda series, far from how it was originally and in the film. The show should have retired after 3–4 years, not last four times as long as the war.

Prior to joining M*A*S*H, Jamie Farr was often type-cast as a gypsy on TV shows, due to his swarthy appearance and middle eastern ethnicity.
And THE MARY TYLER MOORE show is what lead to David Ogden Stiers getting on M*A*S*H: in between Seasons 5 and 6, producer Burt Metcalfe was home with the flu watching MTM, and saw DOS as the pompous station manager, and knew that was exactly the kind of character they needed to replace the weasely and whiney Frank Burns.
And, maybe it's just me, but I think Mike Farrell wearing that wool jeep cap in the top photo was meant to remind us that Radar was no longer on the show.

Not a popular opinion, but I think we could use a little less of M*A*S*H*. Give other shows a chance!
