Decided to recapture a little of my childhood by watching Space 1999. Ian McShane is the "guest artist" in the second episode.
And he didn't say "fuck" once.

Not a TV show, but you're right.
I find it humorous and interesting to watch old TV shows on TVLand and the like. Episodic shows like "The Rifleman" and "Wanted: Dead or Alive" (starring Steve McQueen) had lots of early star appearances. There are web sites such as this one that feature lists of "early starts."
ETA: Let's also not forget the Twilight Zone series. Almost every episode starred someone who would go on to Hollywood fame!
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Harrison Ford was also in The Virginian. Lots of them in old B&W Gunsmoke. And Marshall Dillon.

It would be hard to name a bigger transition from small screen to major star than Steve McQueen in Wanted Dead or Alive. I watched a very early episode recently. The two bad guys were played by Nick Adams and Michael Landon.

I find it hard to believe Martin Landau and Barbara Bain earned a living acting if they had Space 1999 in their resume. LOL

it's 70's cheese when watched now, but was the bomb when I was a kid!
not TV, but the first company I worked for had a safety vid that was mandatory for everyone to watch every couple years,
starring a very young Nick Nolte
