I have never known a Lowell in real life, nor have I heard of any actors named Lowell. What TV shows have someone with this rare name? There is Lowell Mather on Wings and Lowell (who they did not give a last name for) on Man With a Plan.

Lowell Sherman (October 11, 1888 – December 28, 1934) was an American actor and film director.

I'm a little surprised you seem unfamiliar with Lowell Thomas (1892-1981), great world traveler whose work included TV broadcasts in his long career though by far he was a radio celebrity. His son Lowell was a politician.

I remember Lowell Thomas' radio show that was on WCCO Radio in the Twin Cities on weeknights. He always signed off with "So long until tomorrow."

Writer and producer Lowell Ganz worked on The Odd Couple, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley and Joanie Loves Chachi. His writing partner was Babaloo Mandel. You don't see many men named Babaloo these days.

There's one with a lousy taste in hockey teams that posts here.


As for the topic, musician Lowell George. He was on F Troop so I'm counting him as TV.

Another Lowell that comes to mind is Allie Lowell from Kate & Allie, played by Jane Curtin.
