The show might be called "Father Knows Best," but every episode since 1954 has been mostly about Margaret Anderson talking her husband Jim down from the ledge. Parenting, even in the '50s, is never an easy task! The final episode of the sitcom aired in 1960.

One of the earliest heroines on TV, Cinnamon Carter knew how to get the job done on "Mission: Impossible." A model turned spy, she knew how to handle herself in combat and look gorgeous while doing it. Played by Barbara Bain, the actress left the show after a contract dispute in 1966.

Ozzie and Harriet Nelson had their hands full raising Ricky and David. Starting in 1952, "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" had a 14-year shelf. Because Ozzie Nelson demanded a 10-year contract from ABC, it's still one of the network's longest-running shows.
