That made them famous?

Oops again.I forgot to add actresses.

Harry Morgan, William Christopher, and Jamie Farr loved working on M*A*S*H and wanted it to continue beyond the eleventh season. The rest of the cast however voted to end the show after eleven seasons so Morgan, Christopher, and Farr continued their characters on the spinoff Aftermash.

Michael Landon must have loved Little House on the Prairie. He not only
starred in and co-produced it, but he also often directed and/or wrote many of
the episodes. He was also very much involved in all aspects of Highway
to Heaven.

Howard McNear loved doing "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW". In fact, when he suffered a stroke and had to leave; it was obvious that his prescence in the series was missing. So they called his house one day and his wife answered. They said "We were wonering if Howard would like to return to the show". She said "Oh, he'd love it! He misses it so much and he misses working with all of you"!

James Arness stayed with Gunsmoke for its full 20 year run,and was ready to go a few more seasons had the show not been cancelled.

Larry Hagman loved doing Dallas.



Al Lewis loved playing Grandpa on the Munsters, and didnt have a problem being known for that role.

Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie loved playing Buddy and Sally on the Dick Van Dyke Show. In fact they lobbied for the series to continue beyond it's 5 year run but Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, and Carl Reiner were ready to move onto other projects.

The late Sorrell Booke loved The Dukes of Hazzard and the role of Boss Hogg so much it was put on his tombstone:

And James Best loved playing Roscoe P. Coltrane on Dukes of Hazzard. He and Sorrell Booke made a great comedy team on that show!!

I don't know how he felt about "FRASIER" but Kelsey Grammar loved playing Frasier Crane.

Indeed!!! The two of them were the Laurel and Hardy of Hazzard County. In fact, it seems that most, if not all, of the Dukes cast (and crew) loved the show and each other!! :D

It seems all the cast of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, loved that series and each other. It really shows when they're re-united. In fact I never heard of anybody not getting along. There's a story that Ted Knight was unhappy for a short period with the Ted Baxter character, but the crew and other castmembers were supportive of his concerns, and apparently he overcame them.

Lisa Whelchel has also made no secret of how much she enjoyed her run on The Facts of Life and playing the role of Blair. :cool: :D

yea,he was afraid that people would think he was just like Ted Baxter.

Yea. She is the one person from the cast who 100% embraces her character. I like that.

All the cast mates of Friends loved being on the show. They all said that it was the greatest 10 years of their life.

Kelsey Grammar liked playing Frasier, Gary Burghoff liked playing Radar

Barbara Eden had a blast being (and being known for) Jeannie in IDOJ

I heard that Nell Carter LOVED being on Gimme a Break!, she even cried when she heard that the series cancelled!

Larry Hagman loved doing Dallas.



Al Lewis loved playing Grandpa on the Munsters, and didnt have a problem being known for that role.

To the point that he starred in a 1-900 number commercial in the late 80s as Grandpa.

Buddy Ebsen liked being Jed Clampett in fact once he was performing on stage in London and was only getting a lukewarm reception from the audience. So he stopped, a pretty girl brought his Jed Clampett hat out on a pillow, he picked it up, turned around, put it on, turned back to the audience, gave a big grin and said "WEEELL DOGGIES!!" The audience ROARED and gave him a standing ovation. From then on he was a big hit.

Yeah just about the entire cast of the Beverly Hillbillies loved their tenure on the show same goes for the cast Seinfeld and Katy Sagal loved playing Peggy Bundy.

I'm pretty sure that Vicki Lawrence loved playing Mama on "Mama's Family" and that all the cast got along well. She loved it so much she still makes Mama appearances.
