Clint Howard just showed up on FOX NFL Kickoff in a sketch as the proprietor of a museum of cursed NFL teams.
The Have Gun - Will Travel ep "The Cream of the Jest" gives us Peter Brocco as Paldin's friendly chemist, who mixes the new smokeless gunpowder for his bullets (probably an anachronism, as I'm sure the series takes place earlier than 1884); and Stanley Adams as a town's extremely annoying practical joker, whose wife asks Paladin to teach a lesson before he gets himself killed. Directed by Richard Donner.
There were apparently a small number of Season 5 episodes which gave a specific date:

So, an anachronism, but only fudges it by a few years?
A two-fer right now on separate channels.
Over on 'The Streets of San Francisco' on Decades+ we have Robert Walker as an inter/orderly who is murdering patients in a mental hopital.
And over on 'The Odd Coup!e' on Catchy Comedy, we have Elinor Donahue as Tony Randall's date for the evening.

It's funny, over in TrekLit, the subject of Paladin's appearance in the novel 'Ishmael'. If the dates in the Wikipedia entry are correct, than Paladin was operating much earlier in San Francisco than previously thought, because 'Ishmael', which is based off the TV series 'Here Comes the Brides' is set in Seattle circa the late 1860s; historically speaking 1864-1866, while 'Have Gun Will Travel' is set nearly a decade later circa mid to late 1870's.
Spock and Aaron Stemple travel to San Francisco at one point and stay in the same hotel as Paladin. At one point, Spock plays chess with Paladin.
Richard Boone was forty when 'Have Gun - Will Travel' first aired. If this indeed is meant to be the same Paladin, he would be in his late twenties/early thirties in his appearance in the novel; which would explain his younger appearance on the cover.
Interesting Outer Limits I watched today: Two people, man and woman, are randomly chosen by an alien to fight an alien couple to the death, and transported to a strange planet called "Arena." Hmm. No doubt just an earlier adaptation of Frederick Brown's story. The aliens in this were also snarling animal-creatures with unconvincing rubber masks.

Checking on it, I see that episode had Theo Marcuse ("Catspaw") in an uncredited role. But I don't see that they gave a nod to the Fredric Brown story. Maybe they figured theirs was just different enough.
Hm. Don't recall seeing Theo. I'll skim thru it and check.
Meanwhile: Today's Have Gun - Will Travel starred Natalie Norwick (Conscience of the King) in a very unglamorous and physically demanding role, as a murderess on the run. There was quite a lot of fighting and tussling and falling in the dirt.

Lots of pages, this one may have been posted.....

I remember an early DANIEL BOONE in which Warren tried to press Veronica Cartwright on where her father was.
So we're watching vintage Folger's coffee commercials on YouTube (don't ask), and who pops up as a coffee-challenged newlywed but Yvonne Craig herself.
You'll be relieved to know that kindly Mrs. Olson introduces her to Folger's "mountain grown" coffee, thereby saving the younger woman's marriage.

So I'm sitting here on my sofa, aghast, jaw on the ground, simply unable to peel my eyes away from this absolute trainwreck of a "comedy" called The Black Bird (1975). 
It is a "humorous" (actually painfully unfunny) sequel to John Huston's masterful film version of The Maltese Falcon (1941), starring George Segal as the son of Dashiell Hammett's celebrated private detective Sam Spade.
So far, we have appearances by the following Trek alumni:
Vic Tayback (Krako, APoTA) as a police Lieutenant.
John Abbott (Ayelborne, EoM) as this aristocratic client of Spade's who wants the MacGuffin on behalf of a charitable organization.
Elisha Cook, Jr. (Samuel T. Cogley, Court Martial) actually reprising his role of hoodlum Wilmer Cook from The Maltese Falcon, but apparently having moved up in the world since 1941.
Felix Silla (uncredited background Talosian, The Cage) as a Nazi villain of small stature who wants the MacGuffin.

Felix Silla also worked on The Addams Family, Return of the Jedi, E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Demon Seed, Spaceballs, Battlestar Galactica, and Buck Rogers.
Plus, I see he was in Bewitched, Mork & Mindy, Batman Returns, and the original Planet of the Apes.
And he was in "The Cage"? That's fantastic. He's the Forrest Gump of my personal mythology! Or maybe the Zelig. I never realized how big he was, in that sense at least.
To me, he will always be Twiki. That's my favorite thing he did.
