Seeing Folks on TV: Buffett, Flounder, Spock and Kirk

The past several days, I have seen some interesting people on TV.

Last night, there was an old hippie helicopter pilot on "Hawaii-Five-0."  At first it didn't register, but as he talked I thought it was familiar and then took a closer look and it had to be none other than Jimmy Buffett.  We looked the show up on IMDB and TV Guide but there was no mention of him.  We finally came across an article and...it was him.

Earlier we had watched "CHiPs" and it was about an animal house fraternity at a California college which a snooty fraternity was trying to get in trouble.  The president-for-life was none other than "Animal House's" Flounder.  And, they were having a toga party.  It was like watching my favorite-ever movie all over again.

With the recent death of Leonard Nimoy, we found out that Nimoy and William Shatner of "Star Trek" fame first appeared together on an episode of "Man from U.N.C.L.E.."  It was on MeTV Thursday.  This was filmed several years before they became Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk.  And Commandant Klink from "Hogan's Heroes" was on the episode as well.
