    Freddie Dalton Thompson (August 19, 1942 – November 1, 2015) was an American politician, attorney, lobbyist, columnist, actor, and radio personality. A member of the Republican Party, he served as a United States senator from Tennessee from 1994 to 2003. He was an unsuccessful candidate in the Republican Party presidential primaries for the 2008 United States presidential election.

    He chaired the International Security Advisory Board at the U.S. Department of State, was a member of the U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, as well as a visiting fellow with the American Enterprise Institute, specializing in national security and intelligence.

    Despite running only a single season of 33 episodes, 1960-61 sit-com Angelhas received more than its share of 21st century coverage. Author David C. Tuckerdevotes an entire chapter to it in his 2010 work Lost Laughs of '50s and '60s Television, and Cary O'Dellprovides an extensive examination of the series in "The Angel on Lucy's Shoulders" at the Library of Congress blog Now See Hear! The series was the creation of Jess Oppenheimer, credited as co-creator, producer, and head writer for the most successful sit-com to that time, I Love Lucy. Oppenheimer was regarded highly enough that he is featured, in animated form, in the opening credits of Angel, which O'Dell observes was "a most unusual occurrence for TV then, and now.” As many have noted, the show bore a considerable resemblance to I Love Lucyexcept that in Angelthe wife is the partner born overseas, in this case France instead of Cuba. However, even Oppenheimer's pedigree was not enough to impress the executives at CBS, who initially passed on the pilot until, as Tucker relates from Gregg Oppenheimer--Jess' son, Bob Lewineof CBS Films took the pilot to sponsors General Foods and S.C. Johnson (makers of Johnson & Johnson Wax), and the sponsors insisted that CBS air the show or they would withdraw their sponsorship from all CBS series. Initially, Angelaired on Thursday evenings opposite two other family-oriented sit-coms, Bachelor Fatherand another new series My Three Sons, which had the advantage of starring veteran movie star Fred MacMurrayand I Love Lucyalumnus William Frawley, whereas Angelwas trying to break through with newcomer Annie Fargue(then billed as Annie Fargé) and experienced supporting player Marshall Thompson. The show received positive reviews after its debut, with Varietycalling it "a winner" and "a truly funny show," and TV Guideproclaiming "it's a good one" in its Season Preview issue of September 24, with special mention o
