I found this and looked through the comments. Some people guessed quite a few but no one guessed all of them. I think I knew 10 to 15 by name. A few more I recognized but couldn't guess a name. How many do you know?

Not a single one. Who are they?
I am clueless too.
River & Sue - These are all famous actors and singers from the 40's and 50's.
I could guess 27 by name, and probably another 10 or so that I recognize, but can’t name. This is a great photo!
I think I see Lassie!
Well I have 34 by name and recognize most of them - they are tv stars from the seventies from shows like MASH, the Waltons, Mary Tyler Moore, All in the Family, the Jeffersons, Game show hosts, and many other character actors. Blow the picture up - it will help.
This is the 1970's CBS line up
See Buddy Ebsen as Barnaby Jones, Telly Savalas as Kojak, Andy Griffith as Matlock, the cast of Maude, and Good Times, Carol Burnett - I was a child in the 1970's so I watch all these shows. In fact, I just finished watching all the seasons of Mary Tyler Moore on Hulu and it is still a very funny show.
Before I read the comments I didn't have a clue. Now I do :-)
Alfred Hitchcock is front row centre!
I see Orson Welles
Steve Allen, Loretta Swit, George Burns, Danny Thomas, Andy Griffith, Red Skelton, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Dennis Weaver, Ed Asner, Georgia Engel, Eva Gabor, William Conrad, Charles Kuralt, Ray Watson, Captain Kangaroo... I could go on. I think they are all CBS alums
River & Sue - I've been corrected!
Bill - Thanks to Lady M Zeroing in on the time frame.
SG - Yes!
Lady - Thanks for realizing what this picture was all about. You're today's hero.
Kathy - My first guess was off by a few decades.
Deb - Right next to Walter Cronkite.
Mark - Wikipedia has an unbelievably long article on him. CBS is mentioned 16 times.
MG - Lady M pinpointed CBS in the '70s.
This was fun!Recognized almost all and could name many. i didn't count...
So the curly redhead near centre is Lucille Ball?
Allen - Nice!
River - Yes.
I only recognize a few!
Martha - You need to start binging old 70's TV shows.
