Thanks to all who guessed at my trivia question. The answer was of course, our own Ronnie Howard. He co-starred in TAGS the last season in 1968 when the show finished #1. He was then a star of "Happy Days" which finished as the #1 overall show in 1977. I did a through search of all the #1 shows in the 60 year history of television, and Ron Howard is the only person who fits the criteria. There were several that were close, like Lucille Ball, who had the #1 show in the 50's, I Love Lucy, and then finished as high as #2 in the 60's with the Lucy Show. But Opie is the only one who made it to #1 twice.
To everyone who is interested in old time television and what shows finished #1, here is the link I used: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_network_television_schedules. Orville Hendricks - Peddling Butter and Eggs. Martha has told me several times that I am always #1 with her. That is the important thing. _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the too busy.
