I would think a show like "Just The Ten of Us" had a massive opening credit roll call.
Also, "M.A.S.H." had about 8 in the opening credits at one point.

So did one of the later seasons of Cheers:

Ted Danson
Kirstie Alley
Rhea Perlman
John Ratzenberger
Woody Harrelson
Kelsey Grammer
Bebe Neuwirth
George Wendt

I believe that "Just the Ten of Us" had only 8 people in it's credits, since two of the family members were twin babies.

I think that the DRAMA with the most people credited at one time is "Hill Street Blues"..boy, there must have been around 10 in taht opening.

Truth · 01-27-2002, 04:08 PM

How many did "Good Morning, Miss. Bliss" have? Like around 8 or 9?

LucyFan · 01-27-2002, 05:14 PM

Happy Days had a lot:

~ Henry Wrinkler
~ Ron Howard
~ Anson Williams
~ Donny Most
~ Marion Ross
~ Tom Bosely
~ Scott Bio
~ Erin Moran
~ Al Molinaro

Notorious · 01-27-2002, 05:20 PM

u know wut, i think this is funny. didn't laverne and shirley only have 2 people in the opening credits? well, i'd have to say the first season of FOL

Sean Snow · 01-27-2002, 05:22 PM

I kno this doesn't count, but I wanted to post it:

For two episodes of "Three's Company", there were a lot of people in the credits. Because it was a two part "Best Of..". In the Best of, these people were credited:

John Ritter
Joyce DeWitt
Suzanne Somers
Priscilla Barnes
Audra Lindley
Norman Fell
Richard Kline
Don Knotts
Jenilee Harrison

That's 9.

In the last season of "Laverne & Shirley", three or four people are credited, depending if Michael McKean appeared in that episode.

The funny thing is, "Mary Tyler Moore", which ran from 1970 to 1977, didn't have anyone in the opening credits. MtM wasn't even credited at all. The original name was "Mary Tyler Moore", but since everyone calls it "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", it seems like it didn't have a name, since the MtM spread thing in the opening would credit Mary Tyler Moore. Pretty confusing lol

JT · 01-27-2002, 06:52 PM

A season of That Girl only had two people credited.Marlo Thomas and Ted Bessel.
I also thought it was weird Mary was never credited for "Mary Tyler Moore".

Central Perk · 01-28-2002, 07:58 AM

So this is people credited does it have to be actors? Because cheers had

Ted Danson
Kirstie Alley
Woody Harrelson
Rhea Pearlman
John Ratzenberger
Kelsey Grammar
Bebe Neuwirth
George Wendt

Plus the creators were in the starting
James Burrows
Les Charles
Glen Charles

Thats 11 if you count the creators

TJL · 01-28-2002, 09:36 PM

Sorry, creators don't count, no matter how talented they are.
