OTD in 1979, THE MUPPET MOVIE opened in theaters across the United States. Jim Henson noted (with typical understatement) that its reception was "Great!" and it was one of the most profitable films of the decade. But getting the Muppets to the big screen in the first place was hard work.

Was watching an episode of Hawaii 5-0 ("Ten Thousand Diamonds and a Heart") from 1971, and could not help but notice Tim O'Connor (Dr. Huer from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century) with a mustache and also Logan Ramsey (Roman proconsul Claudius Marcus from Star Trek's “Bread and Circuses”). #startrek
Turned on my TV this morning, and Perry Mason was on. These two women were guest stars. I was looking at the one on the right, and I thought, hm, she looks familiar. Oh, yeah, that's a Talosian. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Meg_Wyl... #startrek
