Man, it's been decades since I watched that movie on television.
I'm going to have to see if it's available for streaming somewhere.

After I saw the uncut video, certain....moments from the John Carradine segment left me unable to drink milk or even eat peanut butter properly for several weeks.

Not I—that was me, watching "Wink of an Eye" for the first time. Well, and every time since.

Interesting cast. An actor that would go on to appear in DS9, and the younger daughter from the Partridge family.

We found The Bob Newhart Show on Prime, and realized we'd never actually watched it before! Quite an omission for children of the 70s.
Anyhoo, in episode 6 there's a running gag were secretary Carol keeps messing up Bob's schedule and repeatedly keeps a patient waiting. The patient, unfortunately, suffers from shyness and introversion, and just hides behind the lobby plant instead of asserting himself. Since it's 1972, this man is played perfectly by John Fiedler

You'll find that John Fiedler became a regular on the Bob Newhart Show.

We found The Bob Newhart Show on Prime, and realized we'd never actually watched it before!

What?! That was a can't-miss show in my house. You are in for something great, easily one of the top five sitcoms of the 70s.

You'll find that John Fiedler became a regular on the Bob Newhart Show.

According to IMDB he had the third most appearances of the therapy group, behind Jack Riley and Florida Friebus, ahead of Renée Lippin, Oliver Clark, Howard Hesseman and Noam Pitlik.

Cannon episode 11, "Sone Cold Dead," features Lou Antonio as a less-than-moral charter boat captain blackmailing a rich kid who caused a missing girl's accidental death.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0536024/

This episode features something I used to call the "Stupid Crook Syndrome" - There was literally no proof against the perp, and the guys blackmailing him (who also had no concrete proof) didn't commit any other crime beyond not revealing their suspicions. But in order to get the episode over with in the last act, all three of these previously normal guys panicked, got guns and tried to murder Cannon. Hell of an escalation, boys!
