I always thought it was weird when I found out a show like
The bob Newhart show Newhart
And the characters name wasn’t bob newhart.
I know there are other examples, but that was the one off the top of my head.
What comes to your mind when I bring this up

Do shows where the main character shares a first name with their actor count (i.e. "Bob", where Bob Newhart's character was also named Bob)?

Was there the phil silvers show? Yes, for his Bilko character. Confused the hell out of me as a kid. Hey, Wandavision should have done this with the opening episode!

On some DVDs, Life with Elizabeth was retroactively changed to The Betty White Show.

Your Mom wasn't in How I Met Your Mother. This is false if you are Alyson Hannigan's kids.

It was fictionalized but some characters were based on people Jerry Seinfeld knew. On that same note, would George Lopez count? Because on the show he had the same name as the actor, but I don't think he played himself.

Melissa and Joey
Melissa Joan Hart gets referred to as Mel, but for some reason her characters full name is Melanie
In The Andy Griffith Show his surname is Taylor

I'm shocked Andy Griffith wasn't one of the very first ones mentioned among a group of wrestling fans. -The Patty Duke Show: She played lookalike twins Patty & Cathy Lane. -The Donna Reed Show: She played homemaker Donna Stone.

The George Carlin Show. George's last name on the show was "O'Grady." It was a hazy memory of liking his show as I stood at the comedy section in the CD store. So I bought “Parental Advisory”. The next day I had Brain Droppings and You Are All Diseased. About a week later, Toledo Window Box. A vague memory led to an obsession.

-The Donna Reed Show: She played homemaker Donna Stone. I always assumed her madam name was Reed.
