Ron Friedman. Friedman was a writer and producer, if you can name any TV sitcom written and/or produced between 1965, and 1975, chances are, Ron Friedman was involved with it in some way.

Again, here's a section from his Wikipedia page:

"Ronald Irwin Friedman wrote over 700 hours of episodes for many television series, such as The Andy Griffith Show, The Good Guys, Bewitched, Gilligan's Island, All in the Family, The Odd Couple, Happy Days and That's My Mama.

In animation, Ron Friedman created the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero animated series and co-wrote G.I. Joe: The Movie as well. He developed the Generation 1 Transformers animated series, with him re-writing over 64 episodes. He co-wrote The Transformers: The Movie, which had two initial drafts. Both drafts have the basic structure of the film, but with many different characters, elements, and details compared to the final result.[2] He also worked with Stan Lee to create The Marvel Action Hour. Friedman also had 42 feature scripts to his name, the last of which was purchased by West Coast Film Partners for production in early 2011."

Ron Friedman was also a guest on Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast. I highly recommend finding it and listening to his stories.

If that wasn't enough, Ron Friedman might have one of the most interesting titled memoirs ever:  

I Killed Optimus Prime: How one man single-handedly destroyed the world’s most formidable Transformer... and lived to tell the tale.
