Answer: single
Bachelor Stanley Belmont (Dom DeLuise) works at a bus company's lost-and-found counter. The show's plots didn't rely as much on his working life as it did with his home life where lives with his domineering mother (Kathleen Freeman), sister Olive (Beverly Sanders), and a ne'er-do-well brother-in-law, Arthur (Wynn Irwin). "Lotsa Luck" ran on the NBC network from September 1973 to May 1974 and was based on the British sit-com "On the Busses".

Answer: Mrs. Beasley
In the show, siblings Cissy, Jody and Buffy were orphaned after a car accident claimed the lives of their mother and father. After living with various relatives, the three eventually moved to New York to live with their uncle Bill and his English valet Mr. French, turning both their lives upside down. "Family Affair" was so popular, especially with young girls, that Mattel Toys created a talking Mrs. Beasley doll and two other dolls patterned after Buffy. The show, which ran from 1966 to 1971, finished in the top 15 of the Nielsen ratings in its first four seasons, but in the 1970-71 season it finished outside the top 30, which led to its cancellation.

From Quiz: TV Characters from the 1970s
Answer: NYPD - New York Police Department
The majority of the activities in this series took place in the detective squad room of the New York Police Department's 12th precinct.
Captain Barney Miller commanded a squad of eclectic detectives, including Sergeant Phillip Fish (Abe Vigoda) elderly, slow moving senior detective, Detective Stanley "Wojo" Wojciehowicz (Max Gail), a younger somewhat naive detective, Sergeant Ron Harris (Ron Glass), a hip and intellectual African American detective who also wrote a best selling book about the job, and Sergeant Nick Yamada (Jack Soo), an Asian American detective who was slow moving but possessed a quick wit and a sense of humor.
Most of the stories revolved around the interesting assembly of suspects, victims, and persons of interest who for one reason or another were brought into the station.
Barney Miller was both the father figure to his men as well as the "voice of reason" in dealing with situations.
"Barney Miller" remained on the air for eight (8) television seasons, producing 188 half-hour episodes.
In 1982, the series was awarded the Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Comedy Series".
In 1977, series regular Abe Vigoda left the show to star in his spin-off series, "Fish" which chronicled the home life of Sgt. Fish, his wife Bernice (Florence Stanley) and their brood of adopted children. The series aired for two seasons. At the conclusion of the run, Vigoda returned to the Barney Miller cast.

Answer: Police Woman
"Police Woman" aired for four seasons on the NBC Television Network, and was considered to be the first prime time drama series to feature a woman in the title role. Angie Dickinson starred as Sgt. Leanne "Pepper" Anderson, a member of the Los Angeles Police Department's Criminal Conspiracy Unit. Her partner and immediate supervisor was Sgt. William "Bill" Crowley, played by Earl Holliman. Completing the unit were officers Joe Styles (Ed Bernard) and Pete Royster (Charles Dierkop). The unit investigated a wide assortment of crimes, often with Pepper Anderson working as an undercover operative.
The series was a spin-off from an episode of the award winning anthology series, "Police Story" (1973). In the episode, "The Gamble", Dickinson played undercover police woman Lisa Beaumont, who was selected to work with Crowley, Styles, and Royster on a case. The extremely successful ratings of that episode resulted in NBC quickly producing a spin-off series. Lisa Beaumont's character name was changed to Leanne "Pepper" Anderson, and Bert Convey, who played Lt. Bill Crowley in the "Police Story" episode was replaced by Earl Holliman, as Sgt. Bill Crowley. Bernard and Dierkop continued their rolls on the spin-off series.
"Police Woman" aired a total of 92 episodes during its four season run.
