This thread is about sitcom actors who have performed cartoon voice-over work. I'm going to start with both Howard Morris and Allan Melvin, from The Andy Griffith Show. Together, they were involved with cartoon voice-overs for Beetle Bailey and Magilla Gorilla, among others. Tom Bosley was heard on Wait til your Father Gets Home and Yogi's Gang before Happy Days hit the airwaves. Ed Asner was heard on Spider-Man and Gargoyles, among cartoon shows he was involved with. We already know about Bill Cosby as host of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. That list of sitcom stars that performed cartoon voice-over work goes on and on, and I can't get to everything, so I'm going to give you all the opportunity to add to this thread-that is for those who can read the closing credits of cartoon shows and come across any familiar names on the voice cast lists.

Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York did the voices of their Bewitched characters in the final season of The Flintstones. EM also played the voice of a barmaid on an episode of the Batman cartoon series in 1995.

James Avery (Fresh Prince of Bel Air) was the voice of Shredder in the TMNT cartoon series in the late '80s-early '90s.

Lorenzo Music (Carlton the Doorman on Rhoda) was Garfield the Cat, of course!! His co-star Julie Kavner voices Marge, Patty and Selma on The Simpsons. Marcia Wallace (Bob Newhart Show) is the voice of Mrs. Krabappel.

Sandy Duncan did voiceovers for Scooby Doo, and I think Danny Bonaduce did as well.

Ron Glass (Barney Miller) and Jack Riley (Bob Newhart Show) voiced characters on Rugrats.

Tom Bosley was also the voice of the title character in David the Gnome.

You are correct! Dave Coulier also took over for Lorenzo Music as the voice of The Real Glostbusters' Peter Venkman. Speaking of that very show, Arsenio Hall was Winston Zeddmore for two years.

Actually, I think he just did Sideshow Bob on a few episodes. David Hyde Pierce did an episode of the Simpsons, too, playing...you guessed it, Sideshow Bob's brother, Cecil.

Phil Hartman also did voices for the Simpsons as Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz.

David Schwimmer was in Madagascar.
