Also for your list though not horse operas.

Gang Busters
Whirly Birds
Sky King (half an oater)
FBI in Peace and War

The shows may have been in B&W but there was little gray

The entire cast of WKRP should be in the top 10.

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"

The humor on that show is on live every morning on KABC AM radio 5-9 AM PST (streaming on internet too)-- Doug McIntyre (McIntyre in the Morning) who wrote for that show. He is able to get funny lines like that out in milliseconds. A very funny guy.

His show was so classy. I remember that our family would tune in every week and we'd all watch. It was just part of growing up in the 60's.

Perhaps I missed it, but I don't see J.J. of Good Times (his dad was fabulous as well), or Arnold Horshack (did see Vinny) of Kotter.

I remember as a kid my brother and I watching Dragnet on that little B&W in my room. I think it came on at 9:30.

It omits the entire cast of Green Acres.

What about 22. Richard Kimball ?

I think that's the character from the Farm Bureau anyway?

Richard Kimball was the Fugitive.

Hank Kimball was the county agent on Green Acres.

Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, at HBO's official 'Sex in the City'.

I had to look it up too.
