I actually read Bronson Pinchot, instead of Pierce Brosnan, I don't know why, I guess the answer would be Remington Steele, which he was probably doing when he was first offered the chance to replace Roger Moore as 007.

New question: two 80s TV stars, Tom Selleck and Pierce Brosnan, were each offered an iconic movie role but were unable to accept because of their commitments to their TV series. Can you name the characters and their series?

If I remember correctly, Brosnan was actually announced as having been cast in the role of James Bond for the movie The Living Daylights because his TV show "Remington Steele" had already been cancelled, but after the announcement, his popularity went up, so the show was brought back for another season, and the role of James Bond was recast.

Okay I' m not sure if this has been asked before, but name three sitcoms where two different actors (or actresses) played the same character.
1) Lecy Goranson and Sarah Chalke both played Becky Conner on "Roseanne".
2) Dick York and Dick Sargent both played Darrin Stephens on "Bewitched".
3) Willie Aames and Leif Garrett both played Felix's son Leonard on "The Odd Couple".
These are a couple of others, but I don't know the names of the actors:
1) Two different actors played Chris, the youngest son, on "The Partridge Family".
2) Two different actors played Chuck, the older brother (who disappeared), on "Happy Days".
3) Two different actors played Gary, the owner of the rival bar "Gary's Old Town Tavern", on "Cheers". (One was Robert Desiderio, but I don't know the other actor's name.)

Lionel was played by the late Mike Evans and Damon Evans (no relation)
And let's not forget Vivian Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air:
Role was originated by Janet Hubert and taken over by Daphne Maxwell Reid

I thought Lionel was played by one actor on "All in the Family", and a different actor on "The Jeffersons". I didn't know that there were two different actors who played Lionel on "The Jeffersons".
Next question:
What was Eddie's father's name in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father"?

The original actor - Mike Evans - who played Lionel in Family played him on The Jeffersons too @gbgoodies. Then he was replaced by another actor for a few years, and then he came back again to play Lionel. Don't know why they had these switches. I liked the first Lionel best btw
I didn't watch Eddie s Father , so I'll leave it for someone else to answer.

Eddie's father was named Tom Corbett, played by the late Bill Bixby...can you name the Oscar-winning actress who played their housekeeper, Mrs. Livingston?

Each special guest star was killed off, usually (always?) at the beginning of the show. Does anyone remember what was unique about the episodes' titles?
