Here is a fun one, see what you can do with this.

What actor or actress has starred in the most TV series?

By "TV Series" I mean a show that has run on TV for at least 1 season, not a pilot, TV movie, or anthology series.
By "starred in" I mean having their name in the opening credits.

The one I've thought of comes in at "6." Can anyone think of more than that?

May not be PC to say it any more but Cosby had a slew of shows.

Yeah Danny, If you count the Fat Albert cartoon, Cosby comes in at 6. I am not counting his year on "The Electric Company" as I take that for an anthology.

Mary, I had not thought of Shatner. agreed, I don't know if Barbary Coast ran a full season, but you are right, he has done well for himself.

So far that puts Cosby and Shatner at 6 each. I wonder if there is a seven?

I just assumed because if he wanted to Google something it might have been pretty easy. My bad.

Truthfully I never said no internet, and I have no issue with using the internet, it is just that, you have to think of an actor/actress before you can look them up or else it takes forever.

Laurie, can you put numbers or names of shows next to the actors and actress you've named?

Roger Moore stared in The Saint for all six seasons.

Most of the original cast members of Dark Shadows appeared in all 6 seasons.

Same thing with Downtown Abbey.

Also, Alfred Hitchcock was in eight seasons of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

And then there are the daytime soap operas ...

By his IMDB, John Ritter looks like at least 9. I posted the IMDB links for reference. That's a good site to check.
I'll be back with numbers on the rest. In the meantime, IMDB if you're interested. Smile
