Everyone's still alive from Mama's Family other than Rue McClanahan.

 

[Lord Dalek]

Cheers? Aside from Coach pretty much everybody is still around,

All the stars of Chico and the Man (ended 1978) are dead, except for the kid who played the replacement Chico in the fourth and final season. Not sure if he would count.

Otherwise, Mannix has The Odd Couple beaten by about 3 months.

If you choose January 1, 1990 as the cutoff date for premiere dates, everyone but Rosetta LeNoire is still alive from Family Matters. The same can't be said of Gimme A Break!, which started burying cast members while they were still on the air.

All the stars of Chico and the Man (ended 1978) are dead, except for the kid who played the replacement Chico in the fourth and final season. Not sure if he would count.

What about Charo?

That replacement Chico is Gabriel Melgar, and he was born in Tijuana, Mexico in 1964 (11/26/64, to be exact).

And Harvey Korman. Granted his Alistair Quince only did intros to each ep in S1.

Now I'm curious about the inverse of this: What's the most recent series whose principal cast members are all dead?

The original Hawaii-Five-O ended in 1980, and the principal cast members are deceased.

What about Charo?

She was only in six episodes.

The original Hawaii-Five-O ended in 1980, and the principal cast members are deceased.

Unless you count Al Harrington, who was a regular for three seasons although he was only in 64 out of 281 total episodes.

If we're being strict and saying what's the most recent show where *every* credited regular is dead, I think Mannix is still the one to beat.

William Smith and Sharon Farrell in the final season also screws up Hawaii Five-O.

I suppose you mean that in the sense of Five-O still having some regulars to deal with-- is that right?

 

[MishaLauenstein]

I see a lot of Soap cast photos with only Robert Guillaume, Katherine Helmond, Robert Mandan, Richard Mulligan and Catherine Damon.

I don't know if these five are on a higher tier than the rest of the cast, (difference between principal and supporting) but if so, only Katherine Helmond is still alive.

Everyone from 227 is alive except Alaina Reed-Hall and Helen Martin.
