Were these lead actors in every single episode of their shows?

Their name is in the credits, but was their character in every episode?

 CBS Television Distribution

Certain actors embody their entire show. It would be impossible to have Happy Days without Fonzie and Gunsmoke wouldn’t be Gunsmoke without Marshal Matt Dillon. Same goes for the lead characters in so many other classic series like Perry Mason, Rawhide and Gilligan’s Island.

It would seem obvious that the main characters in these programs and more are in every single episode, but that’s not always the case! Here are some of the best characters on TV from the 1950s to the 1980s. Can you guess which ones were in every single episode of their own show and which ones missed a few?

  1. Is Leonard Nimoy in all 80 Star Trek episodes, including the original pilot?
  2. Is Ralph Waite in all 212 episodes of The Waltons?
  3. Is Henry Winkler in all 255 episodes of Happy Days?
  4. Is June Lockhart in all 84 Lost in Space episodes?
  5. Is Loretta Swit in all 251 episodes of M*A*S*H?
  6. Are all seven castaways on Gilligan's Island in each of the 98 episodes?
  7. Is Clint Eastwood in all 217 episodes of Rawhide?
  8. Are Eva Gabor and Eddie Albert in all 170 Green Acres episodes?
  9. Is Carolyn Jones in all 64 episodes of The Addams Family?
  10. Is Raymond Burr in all 271 episodes of Perry Mason?
  11. Is Ted Lange in all 250 episodes of The Love Boat?
