[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 3667678, member: 8530"] Gee, am I the only one who remembers "The Barbary Coast" which ran for 13-episodes in the 1975-76 season and also starred Shatner? Seriously, it wasn't a bad show (set in 1870's San Francisco) but I would never call it successful. TJ Hooker clearly counts - it ran for something like 6 or 7 seasons with Shatner in the top role. The star of Boston Legal is James Spader, Shatner is in a supporting role just as he was in the TekWar series. As for ratings hits, you won't find anybody who tops Lucille Ball who had the hit shows: I Love Lucy (1951-1957) The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour/Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse (1957-1960) [very different format than 'I Love Lucy' but still Lucy Ricardo] The Lucy Show (1962-1968) [playing Lucy Charmichael] and Here's Lucy (1968-1974) [playing Lucy Carter]. So aside from the short 18-month of so hiatas during her divorce she had a quarter-century of ratings successes playing three different (albiet similar) characters. [/QUOTE]
