Please contribute any I might be missing, and tell me about the history of using them on television.ĭidn't really have catch phrases, per se, but I guess just the words 'Dingbat' and 'Meathead' count. I'm gonna list some off the top of my head. He and Garry Marshall are responsible for quite a lot of them. Ironically, it was Norman Lear, who was known for quality, who seemed to spearhead the movement.
What was the first TV catchphrase that caught on? It almost became part of the formula of a successful show in the '70s.
