Are Seinfeld and Drew Carey the only shows where the main character goes by their given name?
Interesting how they both come from stand-up comedy.

There's also Will Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Andy Richter in the short-lived (but hilarious) Andy Richter Controls the Universe. There's probably a few more but I can't think of any at the moment. Unless you count The Monkees. They all used their real names.

Yes, you don't see that too often.

Larry David is Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm

Garry Shandling - It's Garry Shandling's Show

The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show.

The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet

The Abbott and Costello Show

THE JACK BENNY SHOW. But I don't know if that counts because it wasn't always a sitcom; sometimes it was a sitcom/variety show, sometimes a sitcom, and sometimes a variety show.

Jacks real name was Benjamin Kubowski by the way (in case anyone's interested) LOL :lol:

Actually it's Benjamin Kubelsky.

What about the John Larroquette Show? Though Larroquette wasn't used for his last name, John was used for his first.

Jeff Foxworthy, Jim Gaffigan, and George Lopez (on his ABC sitcom) are also eponymous sitcoms.
