I've already mentioned Gregory Sierra. :D Here are some others I think would be perfect:

Dick Van Dyke
Jerry Van Dyke
Mackenzie Phillips
Pat Harrington
Shelley Fabares
Cloris Leachman
Ryan Stiles
Colin Mochrie
Drew Carey
Richard Brooks (Law & Order - like Drew, he is a native Clevelander)

3 letters: D H P. 'Nuff said!

Oh, yeah, Kelsey Grammer would be awesome, too. :) I know Jane has said on twitter she'd like Dick Van Dyke to come on. I'd love that if it happened. And he'd be the 3rd person from TDVDS (Carl and Mary have already been on, as I'm sure everyone here knows!).

My most wanted is David Hyde Pierce of course...And Kelsey Grammer. And like Kristen, I'd love Dick Van Dyke. Gavin McCleod and Valerie Harper needs to come on since everybody else from TMTMS has. Oh, and Cloris Leachman. And Carol Burnett would be awesome too. :D And Vicki Lawrence! :)

I can't believe I forgot to add Gavin to my list!! *facepalm* Yes, he needs to appear on the show. Speaking of TDVDS, it would also be great to see Rose Marie and Ann Morgan Guilbert. :cool: :D

Oh, yes, Ann Guilbert is awesome! I loved her on TDVDS, but on The Nanny, she was absolutely hysterical! I am convinced Carl Reiner didn't know what he had w/ her on TDVDS.

Josh Grobin (with his looks I could just see the girls having a feeding frenzy over him) & what at voice!

John Krasinski

Patricia Heaton

Gary Sandy

Loni Anderson

Hey, anybody from WKRP is fine with me!! :D

Yeah WKRP is a nice show BUT HIC is fantastic. Everyone on HIC is good but Betty really rocks.

Thinking of the WKRP cast Howard Hessman would be a hoot on the show and Loni Anderson just made me think of another star that'd be great for HIC - Dolly Parton. Can, you imagine the stuff that'd come out of Elka's mouth with the material Dolly could provide. ( and the other gals too!)

And Dolly is VERY WITTY and clever. I've seen some of her replies and she is one SMART cookie. Actually now I really want Dolly on the show.

Dolly is an inspired choice!!!!! I'll add Reba to the mix, too. :cool: :D

Reba rocks too - one helluva actress/comedienne. She'd be wonderful on the show.

Plus, she had her own sitcom. She'd be ideal. :D

My pick would be any of the surviving Mr. Belvedere cast members.

They would be great, and so would Sherman Hemsley, Marla Gibbs, Jean Stapleton, Sally Struthers, and Rob Reiner. Rob could play Max's son. ;)

TV Land - are ya listening? And IMO, Monika's choices should get priority as she's a Clevelander!

CIARA BRAVO!

THANK YOU!!!!! :D

THANK YOU!!!!! :D

YW! :wave:

How about Alan Young (Mr. Ed)?

He could be a date for Elka. And he should come riding into Cleveland with a horse drawn carriage (of course of course!)

Oh, what about Harry Connick Jr? Can you just see the women swooning over him? My personal choice besides Harry would be DHP, but I'm sure that's pretty obvious! ;) But I'd LOVE it if HCJ was a guest!

Ooh, yeah, HCJ would be awesome too! I could so see everybody swooning over him. I could even see him be a love interest for Joy, even if he played himself! :)

I'd also like to see Kellie Martin (now recurring on another cable series, Army Wives, on Lifetime) come on HiC. She could be an apprentice beautician under Joy, or maybe a friend of Victoria's daughter, Emmy, if they got Jennifer Love Hewitt to make another appearance. :cool: :D

My most wanted is David Hyde Pierce of course...And Kelsey Grammer. And like Kristen, I'd love Dick Van Dyke. Gavin McCleod and Valerie Harper needs to come on since everybody else from TMTMS has. Oh, and Cloris Leachman. And Carol Burnett would be awesome too. :D And Vicki Lawrence! :)
Carol Burnett!! Ask and you shall receive!! :D

Carol Burnett!! Ask and you shall receive!! :D

Yep! So excited!! :D

How about some Cleveland athletes/coaches/managers? For the basketball Cavs, All-Star, last year's Rookie of the Year and all-around good guy, Kyrie Irving, for the baseball Indians, Manager Terry Francona (whose father played for the Indians many years ago), Coach Sandy Alomar (who was an All-Star catcher for the Indians for over a decade - 1990-2000 before rejoining the club as a coach in the 2010 season), and players like Jason Kipnis and Carlos Santana, and from the Browns, the new coach "Chud" and players like Brandon Weeden and Trent Richardson. Oh, the possibilities!!!! :D

Valerie Harper is "in demand" for acting gigs while she still feels good. They should find a role for her on HIC!

^ TOTALLY!!! Also, I noticed that I put Pat Harrington on my list at the beginning of this thread, so someone must have been listening. ;)

Yes!! I've always wanted her on HiC, but I hope they can get her. It would be awesome.

Khrystyne Haje!!! :) Well, okay, I'D like to see her make a guest appearance sometime soon.

Here's one.How about Valleri Bertinelli's old "One Day At A Time" cohort,one Ms. MacKenzie Phillips?Or Betty White's former co-star,Ed Asner?

Here's one.How about Valleri Bertinelli's old "One Day At A Time" cohort,one Ms. MacKenzie Phillips?Or Betty White's former co-star,Ed Asner?

Ed Asner's already been a guest, but I agree about Mackenzie, especially since the late Bonnie Franklin and Pat Harrington guested on HiC.

Hi Catlover!Awesome list of possible guests for HIC!I'm more than a bit surprised that I didn't think of Dick Van Dyke as I watch his old show daily on two different retro networks.I missed Ed Asner's appearance because I only really watch Cleveland kind of occasionally because I tend to think most of the stories are geared more towards female audiences.I think it would be nice to see Jerry Van Dyke appear ANYWHERE as I feel he and of course his older brother are two of the last links we might have to whatever more classical tv performers might be still willing to do work on modern prime time.And Shelley Fabares.She could EASILY be a cast member!

Thanks!! Shelley would indeed be welcome on HiC - and she did also appear with Val on ODAAT. :cool:

Yes,she played Francine,I think and I might add in a role highly uncharacteristic of the real Ms. Fabares.She was greedy,rude,crass,etc.What an acting performance!Is she still married to Mike Farrell,MASH'S Bj Honeycut?Someone mentioned Carol Burnett for this topic which makes me think of Vicki Lawrence.

Yep, Shelley and Mike are still wed after nearly 30 years of marriage. :D

I say ALL the living golden-age stars from TV's past should make guest appearances on the show at some point. It could become a hallmark of the show, that in every episode, fans can count on an appearance of an otherwise retired star from "the good old days". They could all do it, if the show allowes for more cameos, which is only a matter of subbing unknown bit-players for actual stars.

It could become like a game of "spot the star" in this episode, and then at the end of the episode, the girls could do a spot after the closing, asking if we spotted the star, and said star can then come out and reveal him or her self. Boy, I was running the show, they would ALL be on my list of people to put on there!

Have I mentioned Bob Newhart yet? If not, I vote for him. Marcia Wallace would be a natural on HiC, too. :cool:

I wouldn't mind seeing Annie Potts, Jean Smart and Delta Burke from Designing Women on the show. And maybe even Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork from The Monkees.

Jean Smart did already guest, but I really like your other choices, Ann!! :cool: :D

Jean Smart is on the Carol Burnett episode. She plays Victoria's sister, while Carol plays Victoria's mother.

I'm sure he's been mentioned already, but the one I'm surprised hasn't been on HIC yet is Dick Van Dyke.

Another One Day At A Time co-star, Nanette Fabray would be great, but I think she's retired from acting.

OK, thanks!!!

Oh, the possibilities!!!! :D
After all, (now former) Browns player Josh Cribbs did guest-star in Season 3, so why not? :D

Have we mentioned Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara yet? They'd be perfect on this show!! :D

Dolly is an inspired choice!!!!! I'll add Reba to the mix, too. :cool: :D
Dolly would be epic!!

This could be interesting.Drew Carey.His sitcom character lived in Cleveland.Maybe he and the HIC crew could "meet up" at a ball game or something.

Totally!!
