    At 94, John Astin is the last surviving cast member of The Addams Family. I loved that show when I was little. I watched The Munsters as well, but I always preferred The Addams Family. I always wished they were my neighbors. :)

      John Astin being the sole survivor of the 1960s sitcom of The Addams family, was one I missed too.
      Especially since in the later movies it was Raul Julia who was the first of the main cast to die. After all Julia and Astin both portrayed Gomez Addams in their respective adaptions of The Addams Family, which makes it a kind of very tragic irony.

    Bruce has always been Banner's middle name ever since he was created back in the late 60's. His real first name is Robert. I never understood the whole 'David' thing. Don't know why they didn't just call him 'Robert' on the TV series. I guess the producers/writers were ignorant that he had a different first name and had never read a Hulk comic in their entire lives or seen a Hulk cartoon.

      According to most sources the network thought the name Bruce sounded too gay ( big no no in 1978). The producers also didn't like the penchant of comic books characters having the first and last name starting with the same letter; Peter Parker, Reed Richards, Susan Storm Lois Lane and yes, Bruce Banner. They were aware of Banner's first name being Robert but Robert is often shortened to Bob which goes back to the same problem; Bob Banner. By using the name David it made him more like a real person and not a comic book character. They felt rooting the show in the real world would draw adult viewers and not just kids. At one point they even wanted to make The Hulk red instead of green because it made more sense!

      But they were not regulars; they were guest stars. And your video explicitly stated that you excluded, among others, "guest stars."
      As for the regulars of Batman, they are all deceased: Adam West, Neil Hamilton, Alan Napier, Madge Blake, Stafford Repp, and yes, even Yvonne Craig (Batgirl, S3).
