[Forbin]

Jay Robinson shows up as a con man selling psychic trips to Saturn to old ladies on Barney Miller, "The Sniper."

I thought I was done with Mannix but had to post this for the trio of actors and the iconic shows they represented that was cast.
Alan Bergman as Lal of course in Trek (was on other episodes of Mannix) and add
Marta Kristen, Judy in "Lost In Space", and Natalie Schafer as Mrs Howell in "Gilligans Island"!

Christie Love and the squad were investigating who was killing American tourists in Paris and using their bodies to smuggle drugs back to LA, and all I can think is, come on, your guest star is Frank Gorshin.

 

[Forbin]

The last Get Christie Love episode, "I'm Your New Neighbor," featured a trip to SF and some help from police lieutenant Roger C. Carmel on a case.

This was just strange - The Paradise Syndrome was on H&I this evening, then my wife and I decided to watch a random 1970 episode of the old Flip Wilson Show, and there's Charlie Pride singing in front of the Obelisk.

I just realized TOS has several “Batman” connections, with Lee Meriwether and Julie Newmar who both played Catwoman, plus Yvonne Craig who was Batgirl. Yvonne played the green Orion slave in “Whom Gods destroy” while Lee was almost the opposite type of character—a noble, farsighted leader in “That which survives” —and Julie was the proud, pregnant wife of a tribal chief in “Friday’s Child.”

Leslie Parrish was on Batman right adjacent to her spot in "Who Mourns for Adonais."

In 2006 on a 1966 Batman board (now no longer active and not archived!) we found at least 30 actors/actress that were in the 1966 Batman TV series and in the 1966 TOS Star Trek. I had done many photos of these at that time, here is a partial list as many have been posted already.
-Frank Gorshin played The Riddler on Batman and Bele on Star Trek's "Let That be Your Last Battlefield".
-Original Catwoman Julie Newmar played Eleen on Star Trek's "Friday’s Child".
-Lee Meriwether played The Catwoman in "Batman: The Movie" and Losira on Star Trek's "That Which Survives".
-Yvonne Craig who played Batgirl (aka Barbara Gordon) on the third season first played Marta on Star Trek's "Whom Gods Destroy".
-Malachi Throne (False Face) played Commodore José Mendez in Star Trek's only two part episode "The Menagerie".
-Roger C. Carmel (Harry Mudd on Star Trek) played Colonel Gumm on Batman ("A Piece of the Action"/"Batman's Satisfaction")
-Elisha Cook Jr. Played Icelander Professor Isaac Isaacson on the final epidodes of the second season of Batman ("Ice Spy"/"The Duo Defy") and previously represented Captain Kirk as the rather unorthodox defense attorney Samuel T. Cogley in the first season Star Trek episode "Court Martial".
-Joan Collins who played The Siren in the final episode of the series also appeared as Edith Keeler in the first season Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever"
-Grace Lee Whitney played Yeoman Janice Rand on the first season of Star Trek and King Tut's jealous moll (lady-in-waiting?) Neila in "King Tut's Coup"/"Batman's Waterloo."
-Sherry Jackson played Andrea the (unforgettably dressed) android in the Star Trek episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" and Riddler moll Pauline in "Death in Slow Motion"/"The Riddler's False Notion."
-Ted Cassidy appeared as Ruk in the same Star Trek episode as Jackson, and did a window cameo as Lurch from the Addams Family in "The Penguin's Nest."
-Teri Garr played Roberta Lincoln in the Star Trek episode "Assignment Earth" and made at least one uncredited bit appearance on Batman, fleeing the ice rink at the beginning of "Instant Freeze."
-Gene Dynarski played "Ben Childress" on the "Mudd's Women" episode of "Star Trek" and was Egghead's henchman "Benedict" in "The Yegg Foes of Gotham."
-Rhae and Alyce Andrece, identical twins, appeared with "Colonel Gumm" -- Harry Mudd in 'I, Mudd', and as twin police women in the difficult-to-watch, 'Nora Clavicle, and the Ladie's Crime Club'!
-Jon Lormer, who played Dr Theodore Haskins in the Star Trek pilot "The Cage" also played Professor Dactyl on "How To Hatch a Dinosaur" on the 3rd season of Batman.
-Lawrence Montaigne was "Stonn" in "Amok Time" and "Mr Glee" in "The Joker's Epitath"

I'll see if I can find a complete list if I saved it back then.

This seems to be the most comprehensive Batman/TOS crossover listing, including a few not on the list just posted.

That gets a few, but still seems to be missing:

Nancy Kovack
Batman Is Riled (1966) (imdb.com)

Sid Haig
Tut's Case Is Shut (1966) (imdb.com)

Theo Marcuse
The Riddler's False Notion (1966) (imdb.com)

Holy smokes Batman, that’s a lot of crossovers!
I never watched it, but think I recall reading that he never used guns.

Very nice that site tothebatpoles! Thanks for posting.
Way back when we were doing the Trek/Batman, I came across these triple features. Trek/Batman/Lost In Space. There were probably more but so far only ones I found in my files.

I'm watching 1979's "Meteor" on Creature Features and Bibi Besch had a brief appearance as Sean Connery's estranged wife at the beginning of the film.

found some more photo montages of ST and '66 Batman from long ago.

I searched but I didn't find mention of what, to me, is Elisha Cook Jr's most memorable role: "Stonewall" Torrey in Shane, 1953. He has a great confrontation scene with nasty bad guy Jack WIlson, played by Jack Palance. Cook gives a memorably defiant line back to the gunman: "You're a low-down lying Yankee." Palance's response is a cool "Prove it."

Spoiler: What happens to Stonewall

Stonewall draws but hesitates, thinks better of it, and points his piece down. Wilson, smiling coldly, shoots him down anyway. Somewhat unusually for Production Code movies, the brutal killing is showed with both shooter and victim in frame.

Spoiler: What happens to Stonewall

Without even looking*, I can hazard a guess that what happens to Stonewall is the same thing which tends to happen to most characters played by Elisha Cook, Jr. over the course of his career. The fact that his adversary is played by Jack Palance all but ensures it here.

* For some reason, I've never watched Shane all the way through, so I really don't know how the story goes. But I've got a pretty good idea.

Well there is that!

Highly recommended. I first saw it in elementary school on 16mm, '81 or '82.

Julie Parrish and Anthony Caruso as daughter and father in Gunsmoke, "The Warden," 1964.
