The popularity of Dorothy is graphed here.  Let's take a look at son Ward.


Ward was a steady, clearly unspectacular, if slowly declining performer into the early 1960s  He peaked early in the 20th century -- at #281 in 1902.  A boost from #589 in 1957 to #495 to 1958 can be attributed to this popular sitcom.
