Help me complete a list of actors and actresses who were REGULARS on HIT TV series. Regulars doesn't mean they had to be the main stars but appeared regularly as a cast member (at least 20 episodes). Hit series is really used "loosely" but for this purpose we will define it as a series picked up for a full second season. Here are some I came up with:
- Robert Conrad- Hawaiian Eye, Wild Wild West, Baa Baa Black Sheep
- Heather Locklear - 4 TJ Hooker, Dynasty, Melrose Place, Spin City
- Michael Landon - Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, Highway to Heaven
- John Ritter - 4 Threes Company , Hooperman, Hearts Afire, 8 Simple Rules
- David Jansen - Richard Diamond, The Fugitive, Harry O
- Lee Majors - 4 Big Valley, Owen Marshall, Six Million Dollar Man, The Fall Guy
- Carroll O'Conner - All in the Family, Archie Bunkers Place, In the Heat of the Night
- Kate Jackson - The Rookies, Charlies Angels, Scarecrow and Mrs King
- Bill Cosby - 4 I Spy, The Bill Cosby Show, The Cosby Show, Cosby
- Lucille Ball- I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy
- Bill Bixby - My Favorite Martian, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, The Incredible Hulk
- Susan Saint James - The Name of the Game, McMillan and Wife, Kate & Allie
- Robert Wagner - It Takes a Thief, Switch, Hart to Hart
- Brian Keith - Family Affair, The Brian Keith Show, Hardcastle & McCormick
- Michael J Fox - 4 Family Ties, The Michael J Fox Show, Spin City, The Good Wife
- William Shatner - Star Trek, TJ Hooker, Boston Legal
- Gerald McRaney - 4 Simon and Simon, Major Dad, Promised Land, Jericho
- Tony Randell - The Odd Couple, The Tony Randell Show, Love Sydney
-
Ted Danson - 6 Cheers, Becker, Damages, Bored to Death, CSI, The Good Place
-
Ted McGinley **- **6 Happy Days, The Love Boat, Dynasty, Married With Children, Hope and Faith, Transformers:Robots in Disguise
I will stop at 20 and leave some meat on the bone. I know there has to be more especially when you consider those I am weak on like newer TV shows, and those on HBO, Showtime, Netflix Originals, etc.
