Maybe they could use that footage to put together a new episode of Trek where Kirk vacations on Wrigley's Pleasure Planet.
Or not.

Yes, he was.
The star of the first Decades Binge in June is dressing for warm weather:
You can also catch the Lord of the Jungle Saturday mornings on H&I.

Now that will be interesting. I barely remember seeing that back in the day, and not being terribly interested. I wonder how it will look to me now. I'm sure my Mother will be glued to the TV all weekend, that's for sure. 
And this weekend is Night Gallery at last!

I only have the show on in the background on Saturday mornings, but one thing that's struck me about it, there are loads of actors on it who also did TOS. Nichelle Nichols even had a prominent guest role in a couple of episodes.
Really? Sweet. I hope I get to see those.
Now I've seen everything...Decades played a commercial for a multi-color night light that hangs in your toilet...!
ETA: A younger Jack Colvin is in the Tarzan that's on H&I right now...I don't think I've seen him in anything but the Hulk.
Scratch that...I saw him in a That Girl, didn't I? Anyway, didn't notice any Trek actors in that episode, but it also had Clarence Williams III from Mod Squad.

He was in the SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN and THE BIONIC WOMAN several times, pre-HULK.
Then I probably saw him in those, but I didn't know who he was yet.... 
^^ Hey, when did you become a Mod? Congratulations and condolences. 
The episodes adapting "Pickman's Model" and "Cool Air" are both on this morning. I think "Pickman's Model" is what got me interested in Lovecraft back in the day. There's also a couple of episodes this morning with stories by August Derleth. There's an episode on at 7:30 that has Denise Nicholas in it that I don't think I've ever seen before.
Aside from "Pickman's Model," my favorites are "Lindeman's Catch" and "Green Fingers," which I don't think have been on yet. Also, the one that ends with, "I took the liberty of amputating your feet," which I think was one of those Love, American Style-type shorts. I'll try to keep an eye peeled to day if I can.

But...I've always been a mod--You never noticed?
Seriously, though: http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/new-mods.280802/
As for the Binge...I've had it on in the background some, but haven't been paying much attention, alas...occasionally perking up when I notice a familiar face.

Sad News for us Old People!
from CNN~~
"Alan Young, who played the hapless yet protective owner of a talking horse on the popular television comedy "Mister Ed," has died at age 96, according to officials at the Motion Picture & Television Home in Woodland Hills, California."
He also had a pretty good role in the original "Time Machine", and a small one in the Guy Pierce re-make

Heh. I was a Mod for years, so I think I would have noticed you hanging out in the BR.But...I've always been a mod--You never noticed?
They're showing the Sixth Sense episodes now. I managed to catch all my favorites, with the exception of "Green Fingers." Unfortunately, the story with Denise Nicholas was awful (though it also had Patrick MacNee). It had a "prologue" that was really just re-purposed footage from an old movie.
Aw, Wilbur.
Man, he was 96 years old. I hope he had a happy and healthy retirement. RIP, Alan Young. 
And of course he was the voice of Scrooge McDuck for a generation or two of TV viewers.
I really didn't like those Sixth Sense episodes but Green Fingers still gives me goosebumps.
I'm not too crazy about the idea of them mixing in The Sixth Sense, either. "Green Fingers" is an all-time classic, though, despite the really bad directing style that plagued the show (and some movies of that era, too).
Heh. I was a Mod for years, so I think I would have noticed you hanging out in the BR.
I didn't realize that you used to be a mod (probably knew that once, but I've been on and off this board for so long)....I could have sent you a heads-up and asked if I was about to make a horrific mistake.
I could have warned you. I could have warned you.
Sweet! It will be nice to see that one again. Especially those early episodes with Tony Curtis and Will Sampson.
