Actors and Actresses that have appeared on ABC, CBS, and NBC - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

James28 · 01-01-2011, 10:47 PM

This is a thread for actors and actresses that have starred in any primetime series on all three terrestrial television networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC). (not or)

An example is Patrick Duffy, who starred in NBC's The Man From Atlantis, CBS's Dallas, and ABC's Step by Step. Any others?

(TV movies don't count in this thread.)

Reality/competition shows don't apply in this thread, so Cloris Leachman shouldn't be on this list.

Why Not? It's an ABC Primetime series and Cloris appeared on it!!----but no matter, Cloris Leachman starred on a DRAMA series in 1951 called Charlie Wild, Private Detective which was broadcast on ABC from 1951-52.

So I hope Cloris Leachman applys now!!!
