True, on both counts.
Especially as "Hillbillies" has yet to get season 5 onto DVD and the show goes downhill after season 6...
Drat! I knew I should have checked that. You're right -- it's Fix, not Hoyt.

I once got the chance to ask De if he and Paul Fix discussed De essentially taking Paul's job while they were making Night of the Lepus. He said no, it never came up. Oh well.
I question whether Paul Fix can even be considered to have had a job per se in Trek. He had something like 8 lines in "Where No Man." He was little more than a bit player, and his character was an exposition device with no discernible personality. And Fix wasn't Roddenberry's preference for the role anyway; Kelley was. Which may be why the doctor was such an empty placeholder character in that pilot -- because Roddenberry didn't really want whoever played the role to stay on.
Watching a 1959 western called Warlock. It caught my eye because of the cast. Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn, and Richard Widmark, among others. It also features DeForest Kelley and Frank Gorshin.

I understand wanting something on a preferred format, but really, I Spy, or any 60s series, on DVD is already better quality than I watched on our RCA in the 60s, so I'm happy enough.

Speaking of our two pre-McCoy medical officers, both of them appeared in epsiodes of the 1978 version of Battlestar Galactica.
Paul Fix appears as Kronus in the episode Take the Celestra. John Hoyt appears in Baltar's Escape as Sire Domra.
Saw Skip Homeier playing another a medical doctor in the Perry Mason episode "The Case of the Pathetic Patient". Didn't recognize him until I saw his name in the end credits.

Is that the one where George and Steve Austin go mountain climbing to find out what happened to Steve's real dad?
Though I like Fix in just about every movie I’ve seen him in, he’s so sorely out of place in WNMHGB. It’s about as strange to see as the screen tests of Leslie Nielsen as Judah Ben-Hur. Though, paradoxically, Fix plays the old country doctor character type in EL DORADO, filmed the following year, and he fits right in there. He just lacked that certain something that De had to translate the characterization into a sci-fi setting.
It was indeed, Form! But the mission was actually to reach his Father's wrecked plane in the mountains near the Himalayas and Steve wanted to clear his Father's name as he had been declared as a coward! His co-pilot turned out to be the real culprit as his Father died in the crash and George, he got shot and died!
