    50th anniversary viewing turned up Phillip Pine as a con man in the Season 3 premiere of Ironside, "Alias Mr. Braithwaite" (September 18, 1969).

    John Hoyt as a 'one scene wonder' on this morning's episode of 'Have Gun Will Travel'.

    Jeff Corey and Joanne Linville on the 1966 episode of Bonanza that MeTV's playing ATM.

    Diana Muldaur and Roy Jenson on back-to-back episodes of 'Mannix' marathon on DecadesTV. I'd never seen the first season of 'Mannix' before now. Here Mannix works for a private detective firm called Intertect and reports to Joseph Campanella. It's only starting with the second season does it switch to the format that I'm familiar with; although it could be explained that he got tired of working for Intertect and set out on his own. It has been mentioned that he doesn't like following the rules during the course of several episodes.

    I don't think they ever mentioned why Mannix's format changed, they just went and changed it. Nobody cared a lot for such explanations back then. IIRC, Doris Day had a sitcom where she was a widow with two children in one season, then a single woman living on her own the next, with no explanation!

    Louise Sorel (as a brunette) and Walter Koenig as the head of group therapy session on the current episode of 'Mannix'.

    Craig Huxley and Roger Perry are both in the episode of Lancer that H&I is airing as I type this. Craig is playing a schoolmate of higher-billed guest Ronny Howard.

    And got rid of the super-agent-fictiony custom faux roadster Olds Toronado in favor of a more subtly hot-rodded Dodge Dart.

    The episode when Mannix's boss (Campanella) goes nutty from the pills he's taking and they have to fight is hilarious!

    @Harvey and I have discussed this. Mannix was not doing well and so got seriously retooled to get a second season.

    Here's a source that goes into a little detail (and has lots of other great tidbits about the show, which I must confess I've never seen, but plan on getting around to):

    Interesting article. It makes me curious about the show. Too bad only a couple of its video clips still work. But for the purposes of this thread, I'll note that one of them features Susan Oliver.

    I liked this bit: "Goff and Roberts went on to create Charlie’s Angels, proving that no talent, no matter how skilled, could produce quality work in the employ of Aaron Spelling." :lol:

    It's on MeTV at 2 a.m. on weekdays.

    Mod Squad begs to differ.

    I don't like the way they edit and accelerate their shows. Ideally, I'd rather watch it on DVD or streaming sometime. Although it looks like it wouldn't be as easy to find as some shows.

    If you read a black & white reprint of a comic, you're still getting the story and art.

    A cut-down episode isn't the full story. And accelerating it and making it look like video ruins the look and pacing, so it's artistically compromised too. When I tried to watch The Invaders on MeTV, I couldn't get through the the first act, since the acceleration was so off-putting.

    ^Yeah I would agree. MeTV (and Antenna, and Cozi) are pretty egregious in their cutting. I've noticed in shows I'm familiar with like Perry Mason and The Rockford Files and Magnum that they cut out actual plot points, like how they get a bit of information or a lead in their investigation. Then you're wondering, why are they talking to that guy in that bar? Very annoying. A show like Mannix shortened three or four minutes? No thanks.

    My library has all the DVDs, that's how I saw it.

    William Schallert again being omnipresent. This time in a episode of Rat Patrol entitled The Bring 'Em Back Alive Raid as a German scientist.
