I last saw Jay Robinson hosting/narrating some history show. His voice had gotten very deep.

I've been watching One Day at a Time for some reason. It's a mediocre sitcom with an insanely catchy theme song. Anyway, in an episode called "The Spirit is Willing," aired April 1980, handyman Schneider is describing his date last night. He says they went out for Chinese food and "I took her to see Star Trek."
It's just mentioned in passing, but it's a clear reference to TMP, which hit theaters the previous December. I'm not sure if there was an implied joke in it, to the effect that Schneider had a working slob's déclassé taste and didn't know good from bad, or if TMP was respected by the writers and they just used it as a then-current reference everybody would recognize.

A mention of the series The Starlost has me watching episodes on YouTube. So far I've seen John Colicos. I know that future episode feature Percy Rodriguez and Walter Koeing. I just hope I can get to them without being bored to death.
I had fond memories of the pictures of the ship from "The Starlost" from watching it in first run at age...5? Unfortunately, years later it didn't live up to the memories. I still managed to enjoy it though.
Personally, I thought it was really weird that Harlan Ellison hated it so. He wrote the original pilot but had his name taken off insisting that they warped his script. I've watched the pilot and read a comic book version from his original script. They're virtually identical. Yeah, the effects on the show were lousy, but that was the only difference I could see.
Additionally, at the time, (if I recall correctly) he wrote the forward for a couple "Dr. Who" novelizations where he said it was the best SF show ever made. Well, the effects in "The Starlost" and 1970s "Dr Who" were very much on par. So, I really don't think his beef had much of a basis in reality, except that one was a big success and the other was a flop and he didn't want his name associated with flops.

Watching the Addams Family, we caught Stanley Adams (Cyrano Jones) playing a Russian diplomat with Vitto Scotti.
Also, my wife found a neat link about the Addams Family house. Apparently, some of the exterior shots of the house were a real house in LA, but with a Matte Painting on it to modify the roofline.

Yeah, they got a lot the radio regulars on to TV season one: Dobkin, Vic Perrin, John Dehner, Howard McNair.
Playing David Banner's sister, no less.
Indeed she was but apparently in a later episode she plays a nun in peril!

That's her doppelganger.
