Ric Carrott and Gavan O'Herlihy and
Randolph Roberts were all victims of The Chuck Cunningham VAPORIZER!!And in 1980 Roger Phillips Ted McGinley shows up as the New Basketball Coach At Jefferson High School instead of
Chuck Cunningham!!

I like Happy Days Outsiders like

Wasn't that the band ? ....Oh wait, Richie was the one with the Band.

I liked that pictue of Ric Carrott
Gavan O'Herlihy and Randolph Roberts who were victims of The
Chuck Cunningham Vaporizer that you put on here recently. I hope that you will decide to put the picture of the 3 Chuck Cunningham actors on the CC VAPORIZER back on this space under this article.

I wish that there was a Mr. COOL soft drink with Fonzie on the bottle !

I tried to vote again and it didn’t work.

I withdraw my question.

No, you can only vote once, and it won’t open back up for you.

😉 Still don't see the animated characters (voice only or voice over), as a guest star, but we'll see where that goes.
-------------------------------------
Good one!! I get it!

I'm not trying to lump your opinion with the rest of mine below, by default. But it seems to me like they're catering to the cartoon crowd. Which I think is because they're a fixed audience they can guarantee to the advertiser. Meaning, those viewers aren't going anywhere if they can't find cartoons (easily/free) in another place. Yet cartoons are illustrations/animation and not celebrity guest actors. By definition it's just not equal. I think the mechanics of the survey is about deciding one thing versus another, because the opposites are so disparate. I can't access the quiz again because I already voted. But they had Nimoy up against something improbable, and I thought - really, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆? Meaning I'd pick LN because he's an interesting actor, in lots of stuff. Not just "Spock." So I think that's what MeTV is trying to figure out. As in, what's the value of the Series itself. Like, viewers love Twilight Zone and Perry Mason because they get to see so many of their popular classic TV actors!

I save when I vote in notepad, with the % at the time, for just such occasions. It was:
Sammy Davis Jr. on All in the Family "Sammy's Visit" 65%
vs
Leonard Nimoy on Perry Mason "The Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe" 35%.

I chose LN as well, but it didn't look he was doing well, but that may change.

😉
So interesting.

I wonder if that's a vote for AITF instead of Perry Mason (two very different audiences) O the entertainer versus the actor?

I wonder. When the final result is decided, what they will do with that result. For instance let say
William Shatner was the Winner- Will they pre-empt a Sunday afternoon and run A Star Trek Block? It probably wouldn't work for each celebrity. Just curious.

I would like the result demonstrated in some way!

Another interesting question.

Well, I hope it's more than "This is how you voted."

Although Lisa Whelchel didn't progress in the results. Glad to see a new season of "Collector's Call"
returning in a couple of weeks.

I agree, maybe the particular episode the the favorite was in could be shown.

I LOVED Johnny Quest when I was young. And I've never gotten to see it again.

😉 Nice contribution, thank you as always!

IMO, to some degree, familiarity or perhaps even memory, depends on the level of fandom. We're probably originals or close to it. So Space Seed made a marked impression among the original episodes, because both actors turned in stellar performances. We both know that a couple of ST:TOS episodes were considered as foundation for the movies. But Kahn projected a menacing villainy who was curiously relatable in "human" terms (rather than being an off the chart alien). They just took the popular relationships of the key characters and ratched them up several notches. I never tire of seeing the episode again, because there's always a little more to notice. I certainly didn't know about the Bonanza episode though, and will watch for it. Have been appreciating that Western more and more lately when I catch it accidentally.

Of course Montalban and Rhue put in wonderful performances (though separately) in another favorite Series of ours. Casting (in those days) had a unique knack for suggesting just the right actor for the specific role. To the point of where we (as classic TV fans) almost can't imagine anyone else.

Always fun sharing - 😉!

Another reason for doing that, which might seem coincidental to some. Is that the chemistry between those two actors has already been established. I don't know which series came first without looking it up. But it's another shorthand method casting agencies use to suggest the best of acting candidates for a producer's purpose (intention). I've read that casting is the last thing a Production wants to or expect to, worry about. They want proven talent, delivery and reliability. So the reason we see so many of our favored classic TV actors everywhere over time, is very purposeful. And for another reason that Production never dreamed these Series would keep on going for decades!!

"Working Actors" just looked from getting one job to the next!

I enjoyed your input here so much!

Bonanza episode was 1960, ST Space Seed 1966.

Yeah, the bit players all had contracts with a studio and they were used over and over among their different series. And over and over in the same series. There's at least one actor who played 5 different characters on Perry Mason - but they had a 9-year run, so that's not so strange when considered in that context. That's why often for the old movies, we see actors "on loan" from one studio to star in the movie of a different studio. It was a big contract deal.
My absolute fave part of watching old shows is that I see an actor play some little part - and I think - wow. I know where your life went from here and I know the day of your end. It's like time travel. Like watching Jim Davis in so many MANY westerns. Usually as the bad guy. Knowing some day he'd play Jock Ewing in Dallas. And not only his real life end, but how Dallas wrote his end into the series. I mean - it's just eerie being older as I am and looking back....and knowing their futures. Especially De Kelly (Bones on ST), appearing on SO many westerns. And then stepping out of that familiar role to become the doctor on such a futuristic hit that changed the course of Sci-Fi.

😉 IMO you have a unique perspective regarding classic TV, as a Time Capsule. We are the first generation to enjoy this vantage point (in bulk) meaning from the networks who cater to our preference!

What are you playing, ... Fantasy Celebrity Guest Star Tournament??

Sadly - seriously sadly for me as a ST fan - it looks like Montalban is going to lose to Shatner. Who, btw - is 92 today (3-22). I think it's a MUCH more important role change for Montalban as Khan in ST than Shat in Twilight Zone.

PS Add:
Surprised animated characters are being used/ From Round 1 Results:

------------------------------------------------------
Elizabeth Montgomery was an excellent actress, however from her bio it looks like she has had roles in other MeTV series aside from Bewitched . Oh well a vote is a vote.

Yes, Bewitched is on "other Networks", but The Flintstones are on MeTV! And where was the nomination for Stoney Curtis...LOL!

The same for Ann-Margret, well actually not quite the same, how many guest appearances did she make on MeTV aside from the voice only on the Flintstones. At least EM appeared on a few series outside of the (voice only) animated character they could have used those. They could save the animated characters or likenesses for a story or quiz.

Oh wow, I wonder if we're all getting the same choices? I don't remember a Takai versus a Bewitched. But because we can't go back in, I guess nobody will notice. Interesting.

Pretty sure we all are. You can see the results for round 1 & 2 here:

You'll be able to see round 3 results, when Round 4 is posted on Wednesday.

TY!

I just played Round 2 while ago. My email with the link only came this afternoon (Wednesday 3-15). So maybe you still can.

I never got a Wednesday invite. I had to fish around.
