My ex-MIL is watching KLS right now on a Little House On The Prairie episode that aired yesterday, probably on the Hallmark channel. I had no idea she did a guest spot on the show. I was walking by the TV and out of the corner of my eye, I thought, hey, I know that face!
I also caught Robert Gerringer in the 1962 film Requiem For A Heavyweight. Very short role but another - Hey! moment.
-
Thanks for sharing that. I never watched Little house, either originally or in reruns, so I was also unaware of KLS' appearance on the series.
I recently rented Charlies Angels, season 1, disc 2 via Netflix just to see Thayer David's episode of that show. His part was tiny--he had two or three scenes where he was on camera, and I think his dialogue was limited to three lines. Still, I loved getting to see Thayer on the show. I have the disc with his episode of Starsky & Hutch in my Netflix "queue," as well--another series I never watched, and it's a treat to be able to catch Thayer's work in it thanks to the magic of DVD.

I spotted Gerringer in The Way We Were & The Exorcist!

Sunday, Roger Davis on Night Gallery with Ozzie and Harriet.
-
Grayson was also on Night Gallery.
Roger was on Twilight Zone.
Check out a wonderful 1975 independent film called Hester Street~~Dorrie Kavanaugh (Phyllis Wick) has a huge role as an Eastern European Jewish immigrant in 1896 NYC (they couldn't have made it 1897?)

In the Two For the Price of One Dept:
Savages (1972) an early James Ivory film, features Thayer David and Chris Pennock.
Save the Tiger (1973) features Thayer & Lara Parker.
Killer Bees (1974) features Roger & Kate Jackson
Isn't there a Galactica 1980 eps with Lara & Roger sharing a scene?

Yep, a two-parter with a Halloween theme, though I barely made it through the first 15 minutes of the first episode. [ghost_rolleyes]

It was fun seeing Thayer in Charlie's Angels. I own all the seasons. It's campy as hell but I love it! [ghost_tongue2] Side Note: Funny you mention that show; since the fourth season is being released and it was revealed today. I am anxious to see Shelley Hack, as I have heard various good and bad things about her!
I wish I would have caught KLS! BUMMER! LHOTP comes on before Touched By An Angel. At any rate cool to hear!

[lol2] There's a reason that show is referred to, even amongst fans of the original Battlestar, as Galaxitive 1980. [naughty]

Fans, on Thursday evening through the courtesy of Netflix I watched the Perry Mason episode guest-starring Bette Davis, "The Case of the Constant Doyle," from 1963. I was very surprised to see George Mitchell, the original actor cast in the role of Matthew Morgan, show up as a jail desk sergeant in one scene with Bette Davis and co-star Michael "Tuffie" Parks (*winks at dom*). Frances Reid, who played MacDonald Carey's wife Alice in Days of Our Lives in 1966 (when Don Briscoe briefly had a role on that series), had a great part as a secretary who turns out to be more devious than meets the eye. Great slice of television from the early 1960s.
Then last night, my viewing was a DVD of an old Encore Mystery channel airing of the Ellery Queen series from the mid-Seventies co-starring Jim Hutton and David Wayne; a generous fan had sent me the disc. Thayer David had a substantial role with one lengthy scene (for some reason completely unbilled) towards the beginning of the show. The show was set in 1946 and in an odd period touch, Guy Lombardo was cast as himself leading the Royal Canadians in the Astor Ballroom. Great role for Thayer.

Speaking of Charlie's Angels, I got started watching DS around the time the show was on the air. WLVI Boston was showing the first year of syndication. I heard that Kate Jackson had been on DS and kept waiting for her to appear! I had no idea that the show had so many episodes. As far as I knew WLVI was going to run them all.
Kate Jackson was my favorite after Farrah left. I had THE Farrah poster and was so in love with her. I had the Cheryl Ladd album; I actually liked it at the time, though it's not my cup of tea now.
It's funny how many almost DS connections there are with that show. Lara Parker was almost Jilll. Jacklyn was almost Vickie and was married to Roger Davis. A friend in Louisville had a friend (I think he passed on recently) who went to visit Roger's mother, wanting his autograph. She told him when to come by and Roger treated him nicely. His wife was there; at the time this friend of a friend did not know her name, but of course it was her.
I've tried to go back to Charlie's Angels but have a hard time getting into it. I much prefer the work they've done since.

Charlie's Angels is mindless fun and "mind candy" as Aaron Spelling referred to it! :) However, I can identify having a childhood connection to a show and then seeing it years later and not feeling the same. I wasn't born when the show came on so maybe that is the why I like it!? Who knows? In retrospect I prefer Cheryl much better to Farrah! Her and Jaclyn are my faves but I think Kate was the best actress! Cheryl was very spunky, Jaclyn BEYOND goregous, and Kate brought a realness to the silly fun!
-
Last night I saw Michael McGuire (the Head, right?) interviewed on a PBS show about the struggles of actors in general in real life. That is I noticed him in the credits and realized one of the people I'd been watching for a few minutes must have been him.

I've run into that memory revision with shows too. Think it was the old Topper series, that I remember being on in reruns just before Captain Kangaroo when I was a kid. Caught some reruns of that a few years ago, and it wasn't near as much fun as I remembered. Some time ago I got my hands on the old Honey West series, but haven't gotten to watch them yet. On some levels I'm afraid the same thing will happen.

Hi Dom i recently saw Diana Milay on Bonanza TV Land and thanks for sharing with us.
Have a Great Day Love Anne [ghost_smiley]

To Jeannie--
I have the Honey West set, and the show in my not-so-humble opinion is fabulous! It's very different from the Avengers and it seems a shame that it got bumped off ABC's schedule because they could only allow one strong female foe of crime on the box back in the day.
I don't recall any DS actors appearing on Honey West offhand, but 16 magazine "fave rave" Bobby Sherman appears as a wayward teen rockstar. This was before Sherman had actually hit it big with the boppers.
Happy viewing!

Honey West is another show I would like to see. If I am not mistaken Aaron Spelling produced it. However, he said America wasn't ready for a female detective series until CA changed that!! I need to get it if it's on DVD! :)
-
Sandor says 2 thumbs up for Honey West. Anne Francis (Honey) was also the tortured young woman amongst the department store mannequins in that classic Twilight Zone episode ("Marsha! Marsha!"), so she radiates the same kind of B-movie dementia that our DS stars so often do.
And speaking of them, caught both Lara Parker and John Karlen in back-to-back Kojak episodes recently (the DVD is out). Karlen was especially good as a junkie, and Lara was nice in her scenes with Telly Savalas. Enjoyed Kate Jackson on Charlie's Angels, and even The Rookies, but never cared much for her as Daphne on DS. Probably because I was loyal to KLS and Alexandra Moltke as the resident dark-haired ingenues.

Thanks for the reassurance on Honey West, Gothick and Sandor. I only have vague memories of the show (do remember having the doll -- excuse me, action figure [ghost_wink]). Found all the books remaindered when back in Jr High or HS, and enjoyed them (there're here in the house SOMEWHERE).
LOL on Bobby Sherman (who seemed to alternate with the DS Hunks on 16, as I remember it) guesting on the show way back when. Never was much into him in those days.
Finding early stuff by actors is always a hoot. I'm very glad that in the first frantic webcrawl that came when I first rediscovered DS a few years ago, I ran into MsC.'s DS Alumni site. Wonderful resource -- saved a LOT of the work it took, pre internet, to find early obscure guest star roles by the Trek actors, for example. (Blessings on the archivists at the Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts, whose collection was one of the better, though time consuming, methods of finding such things in those dim, dark pre-internet days. [clap2] [9050] [9050] )
Speaking of which, I got a bug in my head this past weekend and was watching Classic Trek. Is it just me, or does William Campbell (Squire of Gothos) bear a more than passing resemblance to Dennis Patrick?
Oh and for anyone who wants "before they were famous" amusement, check out the episode of the Partridge Family where Laurie's date has a crush on her mom. Said date is played by Harrison Ford. There's also his ep of Ironside, done in 1966, where he looks all of 14. [ghost_wink]

THAYER DAVID is also in the original ROCKY movie, THE EIGER SANCTION, JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. some other tv roles include WILD WILD WEST and the pilot for NERO WOLF and im sure there are many others.
-
Thayer David is in the first episode of the campy late 70's Spiderman TV show... He plays the evil scientist who uses subliminal mind control to force unsuspecting victims to carry out his evil deeds... Including Peter Parker!! He's really great and menacing in that. Just the sound of his voice is enough to scare the bajeebez out of you! Don't think its out on DVD yet. I have an old worn out VHS copy I pulled out for my kids... I think they were a bit underwhelmed by THIS spiderman since they are used to the big budget movies of today. On a campy level its really great, especially if you watched it as a kid as I did.

I saw Roger Davis in The Twillight Zone last night! :)

Hi T... At the end of an Addams Family tape today, I found the beginning of a Dan Curtis late 70s film with Oliver Reed and music by Robert Cobert, Burnt Offerings, taped accidentally. There was just enough there to make me tear my hair out a little.

I saw Kathy Cody recently on Gunsmoke. She looked great! I think she made several apperances on it!
