So true.

I never understood why Edward Herman got that unique billing. Did he have to get permission from the government to appear on the show?

I love how "The Donna Reed Show" gave each one of the four regulars a special billing:

I know this is a soap opera, but I have seen some posts on this thread with soap operas in them so I am going to include it. The main reason I am posting this is because she is my favorite actress and character on Days of our Lives.

Wasn't it Mary Kate Ashley Olsen? Like they wanted people to think she was one person.

Everyone knew better.
