Efrem Zimbalist Jr had a great collection of pipes in 77 Sunset strip, a classic detective series from the late 50s/early 60s
David Ford appeared in 100 episodes of Dark Shadows - ABC's 1966-1971 Gothic/Horror daytime TV soap opera - playing pipe-smoking, alcoholic, painter/artist, Sam Evans; and father to Collinsport Inn waitress, Maggie Evans - being the 2nd victim of attack by the 200 year-old vampire, Barnabas Collins, after his unintended resurrection episode #210.

I used to watch 77 Sunset Strip first run along with my grandfather. I especially remember since one of the years it was on, granddad turned 77 and we kids would chant the title song bit sometimes when referencing him that year. It was my other grandfather who smoked a pipe,though.
Most of the shows I watch are still black & white. They are the same shows I watched as a kid but now when I see a pipe i get a smile on my face. I have been watching Tales of Wells Fargo lately and it shows some nice pipes
Jeremy Brett was great as Sherlock Holmes and considering he was real-life chain smoker of cigarettes he did decent job of smoking a pipe.
Danny Thomas was the lead “the father” and I remember him occasionally with a pipe.
Addendum.... he might have been on “Make Room for Daddy”, my mistake.... still occasionally had a pipe. I think on “FKB” it was Robert Young (Marcus Welby, M.D. too).

Aaron Spelling - http://josephcrusejohnson.blogspot.com/2008/07/aaron-spelling.html this dude made a lot of tee vee shows. So even though he's behind the scenes, so in a sublime way all his shows feature a pipe smoker.
My bet is that more than half of all series on Netflix includes at least one or more pipe smokers. This year is the first year my wife and I have ever kept up with series outside of a few on HBO, few and far between. But, I have been thrilled that almost every series has a pipe smoker that shows up in each and every episode.
Least we forget on the original "Old Codger" of TV; Leo G. Carrol, as: Mr. Waverly, the head of U.N.C.L.E.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. episode The Never-Never Affair, guest-stars: Barbara Feldon, as UNCLE agent Mandy Stevenson; and Ceasar Romero, as the head the French branch of the evil enemy-spy organization: THRUSH. The plot revolves around the mix-up of Mr. Waverly's "very old and irreplaceable" pipe tobacco humidor - when he sends out an UNCLE courier to take the humidor to his tobacconist to refill his favorite mixture - Isle of Dogs #22 - while also intending for a proper UNCLE agent to deliver some micro-film, which the enemy THRUSH agents are after. While no pipe smoking occurs on screen, the pipe tobacco humidor stars as the "McGuffin" of this very entertaining UNCLE episode.

Great memories of watching those with my grandfather. Wonderful show.
I don't remember Popeye ever filling his pipe with tobacco. However, he sometimes used it to suck up spinach from a tin.
What about the man himself, Hugh Hefner, puffing away weekly for 52 hip and swinging episodes on CBS, of: Playboy After Dark; 1969-70. - Sherm Natman
Barbie Benton on his arm. Amazing ? how these Bunny’s names come to mind. That’s the power of granger Kentucky rough cut.
Another good show was “Laugh In”.... Dan Rowan smoked a pipe during most episodes of that comedy hour.
