Coronet Blue, episode 11. Sally Kellerman visits the coffee house.
Interesting episode involving the record industry with interesting casting - Dick Clark as a shady promoter, and famous radio DJ Murray the K as... a radio DJ!
This coffee house seems to exist on a teetering line between Beat culture and Hippie culture. The owner is an old (well, middle-aged) jazz aficionado, and the clientele is pop-rockers dancing the frug. I love the name of the place - "The Searching I". The 1967 counterculture hasn't quite hit this part of NYC yet. Then again, the summer of love was still a few moments in the future.

^ Never heard of that show so I looked it up in curiosity...found something to help put it in chronological context:
So the Summer of Love was maybe a gleam in the beat culture's eye at that point.Wiki said:
65! 
That explains the jazz/coffee house schtick.
Episode 3 was about college students shutting down their college, protesting for more say in their curricular (with David Carradine, Cany Bergen and John Voight!) - I guess I associated those things with the later 60s.

The Free Speech Movement in Berkeley was conducting protests as early as 1964. It has roots in SLATE which originated 1958! The SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) was founded in 1960.65!

Garys reuinited, now with screencap...
"A Tale of Two Garys"
A god really is Savage's co-pilot.
Apparently this one wasn't noted before (I searched): an early Season 2 Mannix with John Colicos and Barbara Babcock (and Cloris Leachman). It's called "The Need of a Friend" and is Colicos' second appearance - he was in the series premiere a year earlier. MeTV is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
Doesn't surprise me at all. TV actors from a given era tend to show up all over the place. Look how many shows today feature Alan Tudyk or Amy Acker or Wil Wheaton.
Heh, yeah, we often see some familiar character actor when we're watching TV, and one of us will pipe up with "That guy!"
Like Brian Thompson popping up on The Orville (or practically ever genre show in the last 20 years). My wife and I call him Jaw Boy, 'cause no matter what alien or demon makeup he's wearing, there's no mistaking that lantern jaw!

He certainly has a gurning style face Mr.Thompson!

Or Lucy Lawless or Matt Frewer or Armin Shimerman or . . . .
Decades from now, the future equivalent of Me-TV will have Amy Acker popping up on a regular basis.
