Jay Robinson as a guillotine consultant who thinks Kolchak is crazy in the Night Stalker episode "Chopper" - about a headless biker out to decapitate the old gang members who decapitated him.

Gotta say the headless biker was horrifying - as in horrifyingly bad. A guy with his shoulders built up over his head. Looked ridiculous. :lol: Nowadays a guy with a green sock on his head and bingo!

Vic Perrin as a small town lawyer with the key to stopping a small town range war in the 1st season Have Gun Will Travel, "Show of Force." Made in 1957 - it's as old as me!

I figured this would be as good a thread as any to post this.

MeTV has launched a new subchannel MeTV+ to air shows in their library that they don't have room for on their regular channel.

I found it last night when I did a re-scan of my antenna last night.

I saw promos for 'The Rookies', 'The Mod Squad', 'Hawaii 5-0', and 'Mission: Impossible'.

More chances to catch TOS Era actors in surprising roles.

Why is everyone just sticking plus signs after their company names for their streaming sites or supplementary channels? It's getting very repetitive.

I'm finding quite a few episode of Have Gun, Will Travel were written by Gene Roddenberry! This morning I watch the season 1 episode "Ella West," which was essentially The Taming of the Shrew, wherein Paladin was hired to civilize a Calamity Jane type. IMDB shows that Gene wrote 24 episodes between 1957 and 1963.
