Here's Ted Cassidy singing 'Wesley'.
Technically it's a spoken word piece, he only sings the final refrain. But that last note is bone-rattling.
Leonard Nimoy as an enforcer who's lurking in the background on the current episode of 'The Untouchables'.
"I would advise youse to keep dialin', Oxmyx."
Were there any Gorns?The Rat Patrol episode "Darers Go First" took place on Cestus III!
The show's first season was filmed in Spain. I didn't know S2 was filmed in the US until I saw this.
I had no idea he was so multitalented.
My late Father loved that show and for years waited for it to be repeated here in the UK but when it did arrive in 1984 I found it to be cringe-worthy stuff!

Herr Oberst Alfred Ryder on The Rat Patrol episode "The Darkest Raid."
Troy goes undercover as a blinded German officer to recover stolen diamonds. Here we have an inexplicable ignoring of continuity. It's been well established over the entire series that Troy doesn't speak German, always depending on Sgt. Moffat to translate. In just the previous episode Troy was asking Moffat "Wha'd he say?" This ep, he's conversing freely with several German officers (in English for the audience's sake).

I thought Get Smart was great when I saw it in reruns. Although I was in grade school at the time so that probably colored my perceptions of the humor.
The only thing I liked about the show or remembered from being a youngster was the credits with that goofball walking along the corridor with the sliding doors and eventually getting his nose squashed by the big metal panels!!!
I couldn't stand his loud, whiny voice!

Some of the humor still holds up, and some of it... has not aged very well. Overall, though, well-executed and features some memorable recurring characters.
Get Smart was terrific, though I felt its humor relied too much on repeated catchphrases. It was a fun pastiche of the '60s spy craze, though a lot of its humor is probably lost if you're not familiar with the things it parodied.
Just in general, the '60s were my favorite era for sitcoms. There were so many imaginative, formula-breaking shows. It wasn't just family sitcoms and school sitcoms and workplace sitcoms. You had Get Smart, a spy show; Gilligan's Island, a survival narrative on a desert island; superhero shows like Batman and Captain Nice; science fiction premises like My Favorite Martian and My Living Doll and It's About Time; fantasy premises like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie; fourth-wall-breaking, surreal stuff like The Monkees and Green Acres to an extent... it wasn't always brilliant, but it was rarely boring.

Don't tell me you felt its humor relied too much on repeated catchphrases.
I asked you not to tell me that!
Sorry about that, Chief.
Great Caesar's ghost, stop calling me Chief!
Err, wait.
Err, wait.
^Missed it by that much.
That's the second-biggest ________ I've ever seen!
