I think 20th Century American Sitcom actors, directors, etc. should have their own thread. Here are some possible candidates for the DL 2016, I have them on my personal list for 2015:   Bill Cosby (b. 1937), he starred in "The Cosby Show" (1984-1992).   Nanette Fabray (b. 1920), she starred in "One Day At A Time" (1974-1984).   George Gaynes (b. 1917), he starred in "Punky Brewster" (1984-1988).   Norman Lear (b. 1922), he created many sictoms, including "All in the Family" (1971-1979), "Good Times" (1974-1979) and "The Jeffersons" (1975-1985).   June Lockhart (b. 1925), she starred in "Petticoat Junction" (1963-1970).   Bill Macy (b. 1922), he starred in "Maude" (1972-1978).   Mary Tyler Moore (b. 1936), she starred in "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961-1966) and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1970-1977).   Carl Reiner (b. 1922), he wrote and starred in "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961-1966).
