Retro TV Alert: The Black Sheep episode with Takei is on right now...oh, my!
That was a good episode. Always impressed by that 1976-1978 series having WW2 era working and flying Corsairs in use on set for realism.
I can't watch Doris Day movies or shows anymore because I had a really irritating boss who greatly resembled her in appearance and manner.

Bummer. Sorry to hear, but I understand. I cannot watch "Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte" for similar reasons...related to an uncanny resemblance on the part of Olivia de Havilland, to my then Sunday School teacher...
Just watched "The Glass-Bottomed Boat". I know it's a movie, but it has been on TV about half a-zillion times!
I'll definitely put that Get Smart marathon on. I love that show. To this day, whenever I walk through automatic doors that theme plays in my head. 
I was too busy to watch much retro TV yesterday, but I did see the first half of the Six-Million Dollar Man episode with William Shatner. Shatner wants to explore space with Austin and a dolphin. Now there's a premise for a TV show.

^Ah, wish I'd known that was on.

"Captain Flipper and the Three-Million Dollar Man" (since you only saw the first half).
I was going to get "The Time Tunnel" on DVD from a used book store, but they keep the discs behind the counter, and they had somehow gotten them mixed up with a Dracula show from a few years ago. So I'm still waiting for them to call me when they find the right discs.

^^ A Dracula show from a few years ago? Do you know what it was?
Every week when I visit my Mother I go through the listings on the retro channels to find things to DVR. Mostly we do The Avengers, but I couldn't resist seeing the Shat and Lee Majors together.
And don't forget Private Kirk, the sidekick. I'd watch it.
So in other words, you knew about that last week and didn't think to tell us...!
Er... yes. I probably should have mentioned it.

Based on the logo, it was the UK Dracula series from 2013/14, which aired on NBC in the US: http://www.nbc.com/dracula
And they still haven't called me to let me know they found the right discs. Oh, well.

Oh, yeah, I remember that. It didn't look very interesting.
April 23-24 promises the rippin'-est, roarin'-est, fightin'-est Decades Binge:
I'll probably put that on...used to catch it a bit on Saturday mornings when I still had Me.

I'll probably put it on. I've seen it from time to time over the years, but I never watched it on a regular basis.
