Good one. "Bewitched" had several performers in it. Future movie star, Burt Reynolds, was in season four's "The Bard".

"The Twilight Zone" featured a number of actors & actresses over its 5-year run, many of whom would find fame in the near or long-term future. The long-running CBS sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies" had several TZ alumni, for example. * Buddy Ebsen (Jed Clampett) appeared in season two's "The Prime Mover". * Donna Douglas (Elly May Clampett) was the woman under the mask in season two's "Eye of the Beholder" * Nancy Kulp (Miss Hathaway) was Jenny's disgruntled Aunt Agnes in season three's "The Fugitive" * Raymond Bailey (Mr. Drysdale) showed up three times! He was Walter Bedeker's doctor in season one's "Escape Clause", season two's "Back There" and a factory supervisor in season five's "From Agnes-With Love"

Underseason food. Because putting a shaker of salt on the judges' table is just too hard.

Oops! Thanks!

My guess is that they wanted to show audiences, "See? We do make sure girls get 'college' and training for a career!".

For those who want more of the 60s Batman, there's a great comic book out called "Batman '66" that is a straight up hilarious love letter to the old show. The likenesses are great (except in cases where there might be a legal snafu), the lines are as ironically cool as they were then and the stories are quite palatable. I've met Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar, fortunately. I was born after the series was over, but grew up watching it in reruns. It was the only Batman I knew, outside of the "Superfriends" on Saturday mornings. I'm so glad that the series is finally coming to DVD. I really hope that there aren't alterations to music, etc, because of rights issues.

Roseanne tries to quit smoking in "Stressed to Kill" and complains to Jackie how their entire generation was encouraged to smoke by nearly every character on TV: Roseanne: It's true, Jackie. Lucy smoked, Desi smoked, Ward smoked, Make Room for Daddy smoked, Gomez and Morticia smoked, Maxwell Smart smoked, 99, the Chief, Hymie—and he was a robot, but he smoked. Patty smoked. Jackie: But Cathy didn't. Roseanne: I know, but they made her into a huge nerd. Rob smoked, Laura smoked, Buddy, Sally, Jerry, Millie smoked. I don't know about Samantha, but both Darrins smoked.

We all know Michael Landon adjusted the story of the Ingalls so he could keep the family in one place with well-established supporting characters. This thread is to discuss what he changed and any other instances where history was altered for the show. Example: In the episode "Wave of the Future", Harriet is approached by an elderly gentleman in a white coat and hat who hopes to get her interested in a restaurant that serves only fried chicken. He's clearly supposed to be Colonel Harland Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken. The only problem is that this episode takes place sometime prior to 1887. Colonel Sanders himself was not born until 1890.

First footman, field medic, acting sergeant, Black Marketeer, Underbutler. Whatever post he holds, you can guarantee there will be plotting and smoking. edited because an acting sergeant is not an officer.

Putting something inedible on the plate as garnish. Because the judges don't know enough not to eat it...apparently.

I know that the show really took off when Jo was added, but I do have a soft spot for the original Eastland girls, a frumpy Mrs. Garrett and the befuddled headmaster.

Season One of "The Facts of Life" discussion: all those extra girls and, oh, wow, is that Arnold from "Diff'rent Strokes"?

Howard Caine also played a dim-witted Neo-Nazi in the fourth season "Twilight Zone" episode "He's Alive" with Dennis Hopper as the star of the episode. Leon Askin was in the James Cagney comedy, "One, Two, Three" as a Commnunist official.

Name three people who've never been in Cliff's kitchen!

Maybe we can title the thread, "And the Rest" ala Gilligan's Island?

We've all seen the show enough to know what will get a contestant chopped faster than Aaron Sanchez can make a mole. I'll start the ball rolling with the obvious: Leaving off a mystery basket ingredient. As Ted says, this is not an automatic disqualification. If one of your competitors leaves the bloody stub of their thumb on the plate, you might be safe. You're doomed, however, if they don't do anything too horrible. And, watch out, because you might get through one round with a missing ingredient, but that doesn't mean it's not taken into consideration at the end of the day when deciding who wins.

Yes, Scott won the All-Stars Tournament a couple of years ago. His daughter is so cute. I actually don't mind him, but I do find Marcus Samuelsson quite picky. None of them are unwatchable to me, though. I also love Alex's stink eye. I look for it eagerly every time I watch the show and she's a judge.

Sigrid Valdis, who played Klink's secretary, Hilda, was married to show star, Bob Crane, from 1970-1978.

Originally posted by Ivy26: You and me both. The sad part is that it will be very difficult for any of those kids to break free of the lifestyle they've been raised in since birth. I hold out hope that the youngest children will have more freedom from the responsibility of helping raise siblings. I have no problem with older siblings babysitting younger brothers and sisters, but the nearly single-handed raising of them should be a rarity and only in extreme circumstances, such as in a single parent home where the parent must work multiple jobs to make ends meet.
