We're watching a goofy 90s show on Prime called Eerie Indiana, about a kid who investigates supernatural stuff in his town. And there was Michael J Pollard as a traveling charlatan's slightly offbeat assistant, who plants an alien artifact for the kids to discover.
Jeffrey Hunter and Whit Bissell in "The Proud Ones".
Caught the last few minutes of Mayberry RFD, and there was Teri Garr in a brief role as a hostess.
Warren Stevens, Joseph Ruskin, Antoinette Bower and Sid Haig in The Slave, a two part episode of Mission impossible.

Man the "mountains" of "Wyoming" sure do look a lot like the Vasquez Rocks on this morning's "Wanted: Dead or Alive".
A lot of states have a Vasquez Rocks.
A lot of planets, too.A lot of states have a Vasquez Rocks.

IIRC, there was an animated show called Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys, starring Babylon 5's Jerry Doyle as the title character and Michael Dorn and Malcolm McDowell as the villains, and one of their running gags was that there was a whole series of "Vasquez [Number]" planets that all had that rock formation.
What bugged me, though, was the bit in Picard where they used Vasquez Rocks as itself -- because they got it completely wrong. They portrayed it as this remote desert location where Raffi lived off the grid, but it's actually a well-frequented park right off a major roadway and less than an hour's drive from downtown LA. The whole reason it's used as a location so often is that it looks remote but really, really isn't.
That was before the war.
More like the Hermosa Quake, which destroyed much of Los Angeles in 2047 according to VGR: "Future's End." Although PIC season 2 established that part of the city (the part containing Guinan's bar, conveniently) had survived.
Given that, I suppose it's possible that LA is less populated in the 24th century (and I suppose holosuites have killed the motion picture industry), so maybe Vasquez Rocks is more remote.
A young Leonard Nimoy on this morning's "Colt 45".
I noticed while watching that I wonder how much of Spock's voice was a deliberate choice as well as due in part to being a heavy smoker, because his natural voice was much higher pitched in the episode.

Whoa. Now that you mention it...
In Search Of. . . Khan Noonien Singh.
In 1992, a man known as Khan rose up, and with the help of other genetic "supermen", conquered over 40 nations, before mysteriously vanishing in 1996, along with 84 of his followers.
Tonight on In Search Of. . . we explore the origins of Khan and the other "supermen", their rise to power, their ultimate fate, and where Khan might be today, plotting his return to the throne.
