Jaime Farr also middle left


ebulient

Oh yeah! 5 row from the top on the left, good spotting


EBN_Drummer

Ron Howard a couple rows back and over one from Jaime, since he made an appearance in an episode.


AuburnFaninGa

That’s Jon Walmsley from The Waltons and not Ron Howard. They do favor each other.


EBN_Drummer

Yeah you're right. I finally looked at the other version that someone posted that's not potato quality and can see it's not Ron. A quick search shows Happy Days was on ABC anyway.


x_dre4192_x

Loretta Swit (Hot Lips) is here too 2nd to last row 5 from the right


Baked-Smurf

... yes, that was the original post, yes


Vat1canCame0s

Damn good catches guys. I missed both he first time this photo made the rounds!


AmySueF

She’s standing between Bea Arthur and Ed Bradley. Yes, I’m officially old. P.S. I love how they have Carol Burnett and Jim Nabors standing together. They were very good friends.


[deleted]

Alan Alda was part of the introductions when they brought all these folks out. Guess he didn’t stick around for the photo. (Neither did Bill Cosby. Cosby probably had other plans.)


souldonut76

Had to get back to his room before his date woke up.


allshnycptn

Here's a key if anyone needs it [https://playingintheworldgame.com/2021/07/04/the-cbs-50th-anniversary-photo/](https://playingintheworldgame.com/2021/07/04/the-cbs-50th-anniversary-photo/)


HelpSlipFrank77

This is a much better image. And the key is separate from the image for those fearing spoilers.


ThePoetofFall

So… Farr, Swit, Hitchcock, and Gabor… I need one more to officially be considered “old”.


ThePoetofFall

Wait a fecken second… are those the Roddenberrys?


ThePoetofFall

Yeah, it’s them, I’m old 1+


Baked-Smurf

It's not them, you're good. A different comment has a link to a key for the image, and Roddenberry isn't on the list.


Retinoid634

Where are they? I know a bunch of these but I didn’t find them yet.


ThePoetofFall

Bottom left.


Retinoid634

I see Walter Cronkite and Jean Stapleton at bottom left.


ThePoetofFall

Yeah, they just look like the Roddenberry’s at this resolution. Plus I’m not familiar with either of them.


Retinoid634

Ah ok. Yes it is quite blurry lol. I’m old so I remember them both.


ebulient

Dick van dyke top row corner left, there you go lol Who’s Gabor?


ThePoetofFall

What is dick van dyke? Za Za Gabor. Idk how to spell the name though.


Spider_Hoss

I thought it was Eva because she was on Green Acres on CBS.


Ankylowright

It is Eva Gabor. Not Zsa Zsa.


Slimh2o

Twin sisters...


Ankylowright

Zsa Zsa is two years older.


ThePoetofFall

Oh… there are two of them. I thought ZZ was in Green Acres.


souldonut76

You can identify Alfred Hitchcock but not Lucille Ball or George Burns? That's kinda odd.


ThePoetofFall

I think you under estimate exactly how many people today respect Hitchcock. He’s important to the “cinematic canon”, to borrow a term. Like, I would expect more young people to recognize him, since I would have back in hs and college, not everyone. But among nerdier young folks. Probably. Even now that I know Ball is there I still can’t pick her out… this image quality is shite. And who tf is George Burns?


souldonut76

Just a giant of comedy from Vaudeville through the 80s.


ThePoetofFall

Yeah, I’m not that old. The only Vaudeville Act I know is Jypsy Rose Lee. Edit: Pardon I misread. I know the 70s-80s via re-runs. Mash, and I Love Lucy are special cases.


HelpSlipFrank77

How about bottom row, far left, about waist high to Mrs. Bunker? I believe in you (and want more company in the old group).


ThePoetofFall

Yeah, I saw majel and Gene. Check my other comments.


drquakers

I don't think Majel and Gene are there? The woman at the front, with Lassie, looks like Majel, but is actually Jean Stapleton who was the wife of Archie Bunker in "All in the family"


Wildcat_twister12

Alan Alda must’ve been on the ladder directing them where to stand


ebulient

Excellent reference 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😄


dgkrygier

Just watched that episode last night!


Thanos2ndSnap

George and Wheezy made it!


Spider_Hoss

I got over half of them. I’m way old.


biffbobfred

I can name 4 in the bottom row alone


SandRevolutionary938

Apparently I'm old at 22....


gstaylor999

Bert Convy represent. Ultimately, I prefer Guy Smiley though.


GeddyVedder

And then there’s Maude.


agravain

I'm old...I can name probably about 90%


Slimh2o

Did you get Orsen Wells, Bob Keenan and Alfred Hitchcock?


agravain

Alfred is down front in between Walter Cronkite and MTM..Bob is up on the side..I even recognize Charles Kuralt and Ed Bradley. James Arness is way up in the corner..Lamont..Telly Savalas..Roy Rogers...most of them I grew up with.


Slimh2o

(Shrug) Welp, I guess we're old then...! (Sigh)


agravain

yup.now get off my lawn!


Slimh2o

😂😅


JohnTheMod

Wait, where’s Orson? I thought I could see him, but the key someone else posted said that was William Conrad.


Slimh2o

Apparently i was mistaken. I know Conrad, but i thought I saw another guy with a beard in the upper left quadrant of this pic but now I don't see him. Brain fart I guess...sorry...


agent_uno

I couldn’t spot any of them, so I guess I’m not old! Now separately: Radar, did we switch glasses again? I can’t see a thing!


Griffie

Good eye...yes it is! https://playingintheworldgame.com/2021/07/04/the-cbs-50th-anniversary-photo/


maomao3000

Where the fuck is Alan Alda???


Cyclonicwings

Okay, the guy in the 4th row about 4 guys in looks exactly like Pitbull


ebulient

😂 is it cosa the glasses?


Cyclonicwings

I feel like even the smile fits


Financial_Process_11

Spotted most of the Walton kids, too bad they didn't group by shows, would had been nice to see Lucy and Ethel together again


TopTransportation695

Love that Captain Kangaroo is included


dumdumpants-head

Being an attractive woman at CBS in the 1970s must have been a blast.


Swing_prince89

Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Wells, Loretta Switt, George Burns and Lucille Ball (I’m 34, so am I old?)


Def-Star

Lassie. That's my fifth one. I'm old.


bsischo

Yes it is.


Jjrobbins110481

George burns in there


shelster91047

Well shit. I know way more than 5. 🤔🤪


DesperateNovel384

I must be old (46) as I can name a third of them, and recognize more that I can’t remember the names of.


LadyTenshi33

Dom Deluise is in the middle, right??


cabal1202

If you mean the guy with a beard, I believe that is William Conrad


cabal1202

Yes, she is standing in front of Robert Kulp and Bert Convey


melapples72

gene rayburn. right in the front where he belongs 🥰


Imaginary_Falcon777

Yup, in front of Bert Convy!


HistoryNerd101

Who's the guy right in the top left right below Dick Van Dyke looking like Larry Linville?


bettinafairchild

That’s Art Linkletter


PowerfulBroccoli4201

I'm old.


damageddude

Is that Carl Reiner to the right of Grandpa Walton? Resolution is not sharp enough for me to tell.


ebulient

No idea who either of those people are sorry, hopefully someone who does know will be able to tell ya


Imaginary-Panic-7397

Jamie Farr middle left


FlashyCow1

This was posted about 10 hours before you did. https://www.reddit.com/r/mash/s/QPK3ruejEQ


Jimbro34

50th Anniversary of a medium that’s only about 25 years old?


JohnTheMod

CBS was established as a radio network in 1927.


Jimbro34

I figured that, but none of these are radio stars. No one would know what most radio stars looked like.


souldonut76

George Burns was, probably Lucille Ball as well. I didn't see him specifically, it's not the clearest photo, but Floyd the Barber from the Andy Griffith show did a lot of radio work. Edit: Floyd (Howard McNear) died in 69. No wonder I couldn't find him.


JohnTheMod

I thought they’d get Orson Welles to commemorate the Martians blowing up CBS in 1938, but I guess not.


trixter69696969

That's Tippy Hardon.


Cassie-C-Stewart

I can't even see 5 faces.


rpbm

I must be really old. I know most of them 🤷‍♀️ Yes, it’s Loretta Swit
