It's a Curly-ism, from The Three Stooges.
He meant to say "I resent that remark" if you want it to make English
sense, but the brilliant writers thought of a way for him to be 'dumb' and
say it the way he did.

I too, would think that Pernell Roberts would be a lock, given two tv
series successes. I believe he also hosted another on true FBI
stories.
Art Linkletter could possibly get a stand alone tribute. But then
again, Steve Allen didn't.
If Allyn Ferguson makes it, then so too should composer Vic Mizzy, who
wrote at least two classic themes ('The Adams Family', 'Green
Acres').

Patricia Neal deserves to be there for her performance in "The
Homecoming", the TV movie that served as the pilot for "The Waltons"
Bermuda999
and for an extensive career in television drama

Weighing in late here, but couldn't agree more. You must
move Roberts up.

I'm waffling on Dennis Cole and Zelda Rubenstein.

Not likely. None have major American TV credits.
Penny from Sky King has a better chance than any of them.

I expect Lena Horne to make the cut. She was a staple on variety shows
in the 50s and 60s. Even had her own special once.

Just how shortly before an awards show has anyone managed to die and
still be in its obit reel?

at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
