Yes. Aneta Corsaut who played Helen Crump, Andy Taylor's girlfriend and eventual wife on TAGS from 1963 to 1968.
LORD, Susan Oliver was stunning.
She was but she also seemed like she didn't mind if she was not glammed up for a role, like if she was playing a plain settler in a Western for instance. Or the end of "The Cage" for that matter! She was great in TAGS because you had to believe that the sheriff, not just Barney, could be drawn in by her charm. She totally pulled it off, even though she was shot through the jail cell bars for most of the episode ("Prisoner of Love," S4 E18, 1964).
This is great!A some pages (make that years) ago, I posted this:
And now, here's sort of the flip side of it, from Death Valley Days, 1962:
Got a new one! Arnold Moss in an Alfred Hitchcock Hour from 1962 that I just happened to see, "Captive Audience" starring James Mason (looking and sounding like his Humbert in Kubrick's Lolita, filmed the year before) and Angie Dickinson, with Moss and Ed Nelson (pictured) in what is, at first, a framing story in a book publisher's office. Script by Levinson & Link.
Next on MeTV, after the aforementioned Hitchcock episode, is the season 3 Mannix with Marianna Hill and Skip Homeier, mentioned elsewhere in this thread. Ms. Hill is sometimes filmed outdoors in this one (it's mostly set at a marina) and she looks much more, um, three-dimensional than she did in "Dagger of the Mind."

Marianna Hill, the best member of the Enterprise we never had!

When chanel hopping earlier I caught the end of an Ironside with William Shatner in it. The thing that qualifies it for the "Surprise" part of the thread title is that I just assumed Shatner was about to be unmasked as the villain of the week by Ironside and sat through the last five minutes for a full on Shat Breakdown as he got found out.
But I was surprised when it turned out he was just a nice if stressed parole officer.
Not remotely a surprise, but I watched his second Twilight episode for Shatner's birthday and wanted to say how impressive it is that even though the costume is terrible that first shot of the gremlin casually waling across the plane's storm lashed wing is still, even in HD on a big TV, is incredibly creepy.

Did he try to assume command of the Love Boat as well?^ Janos kept busy!
And as I was flipping channels on Sunday afternoon:
That's what I thought! But no, he had his hands full patching things up with Dina Merrill, who thought he was fooling around with her daughter/his step-daughter.
Also on board that episode: Frank Burns, Roger Healey, Lovey Howell, Jonathan Higgins, Pinky Tuscadero and the foul-mouthed Bad News Bears kid. Plus! Douglas Fairbanks Jr. And! Ginger Rogers singing "Love Will Keep Us Together"! Imagine Ernie Anderson giving the rundown on all that.
I didn't mention Susan Howard either!

Just finished watching the MST3K episode 'The Stranger' aka 'Stranded In Space' a 1973 failed pilot movie starring Glenn Corbett. It's basically a riff on 'The Fugitive' except he plays an astronaut who crash lands on a planet that resembles Earth orbiting the far side of the sun called Terra which has three moons.
The only thing that made it mildly interesting was that on Terra the planet was ruled by something called 'The Perfect Order' which was a totalitarian 'Big Brother' regime that had come into existence some 35-40 years after some terrible event that was only vaguely hinted at.
The people he encountered had never heard of baseball, Cape Kennedy or the United States, which makes me wonder if they had ever existed on Terra or they were wiped out/suppressed by 'The Perfect Order'.

I remember that pilot and hoped it was going to continue the following week but alas no! The Immortal too began here as a TV movie but the series was never shown but other movies with Christopher George followed it, confusing me no end at the time!

Not sure where "here" is for you, but in the U.S. The Immortal lasted a half-season. I was a fan and watched most of them, and somewhere I have an audio cassette of the January 1971 series finale (which was a genuine finale, a rarity at the time). I liked the Dominic Frontiere music, too.
I'm in the UK, Gotta! I quite liked the movie and was looking forward to the series but we didn't get it here. It may have been on Sci-fi in the nineties and I may have seen one episode but I'm not too sure to be honest!

i dont know if anyone mentioned this already but a young nimoy was guest star in an episode of columbo. he plays a murdering doctor if memory serves me.
A young Nimoy? I don't believe that, Surf! The only time I ever saw a young Nimoy was in the film, Them (1954) as a youthful army guy with a telegram in an office and he was young in that yes!
