Top 50 TV icons of all time

Featured Replies

Sorry, how is Johnny Carson #1?

 

Because he basically WAS television during his time. Once his tv program went off, nothing was broadcasted afterwards; just white noise.

 

That is until Burt Sugarmans's The Midnight Special came along.:ylsuper:

Bob Barker should be alot higher IMO.

 

He was but then he was spaded and dropped 5 spots. When they neutered him, he dropped another 5 spots.:p

Maybe I missed it but how about

 

Don Knotts

Ron Howard

 

come on.

 

This list is bogus. Along w/ missing these 2, Andy Griffith being 19 is almost laughable. He's top 10 if he's nothing.

Would also need to put Kelsey Grammar on here. Playing the same character for 20 years has to get you something.

Well, the show that Howard "didn't do much in TV outside of Andy Griffith" produced #32 on the list, Henry Winkler.

 

Don Knotts did do Three's Company. But besides that many are on the list for a single character, including Henry Winkler at #32.

 

As for Homer, he might deserve to be on the list but not top 10. Milton Berle was one of the people who made television in it's infancy. He helped make it a medium that people wanted to sit down and watch.

 

I think the "Fonz" had a wider cultural impact than Barney Fiffe did. His jacket is in the Simthsonian. But I see your point. You'll get no argument from me about Berle either.

How do you not include the king of daytime talk shows in Phil Donahue?

 

And if Big Bird is much more deserving than Kermit. How many kids grew up to Big Bird on Sesame Street.

 

Maybe even a Captain Kangaroo.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Scooby Doo isn't a popular choice huh. All I know is I love me some Scooby! :ylsuper:

I would go Scooby as much as Homer and Kermit.

I'd like to see a list of the Top 50 Cartoon Icons. Scooby is a definite Top 5 talent with Fred Flinstone, Bugs Bunny, Yogi bear, and Mickey Mouse. :thumb:

This list should be made with real humans!

 

You do realize it would be real humans that for the most part are playing FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Andy Griffith and Bob Barker should both definitely be a higher on the list.

This list should be made with real humans!

Wouldn't that rule out most celebrities?
