Elizabeth Montgomery in Bewitched

7.22 Darrin Goes Ape (March 11, 1971)

[fibula-rasa]

Familiar Faces from the 5th Dimension

Getting a role on The Twilight Zone was a hot ticket, particularly in its first few years. Rod Serling had built up considerable cache with his well-received teleplays for drama anthology shows like Playhouse 90 and The Desilu Playhouse (where The Time Element originally appeared) and the Peabody-winning Requiem for a Heavyweight. Twilight Zone features appearances from lots of big-name actors from film, television, and radio as well as actors that would go on to become household names.

Often when this sort of topic is covered, the discussion centers on future award-winning film actors like the Roberts Redford and Duvall so I thought I’d take a moment to celebrate the small screen. Below is a sampling of familiar faces between The Twilight Zone and some other hugely popular mid-century television shows: Bewitched, Star Trek, and Batman.

BELOW THE JUMP

Bewitched (1964-1972)

In addition to some shared directors, most of the major stars of Bewitched appeared on The Twilight Zone. The Bewitched cast made out very well for themselves in the 5th dimension: their episodes are all good to great!

Dick York (Darrin Stephens)

in A Penny for your Thoughts 2.16 as Hector B. Poole and in The Purple Testament 1.19 as Capt. Phil Riker

Two very different stories here, both about psychic powers. Penny is a funny, screwball sort of episode about a hapless bank employee unexpectedly gifted with telepathy and Testament follows a soldier who starts getting premonitions of who’ll die next. If you like York’s Derwood mugging, you’ll love Penny.

Agnes Moorehead (Endora)

in The Invaders 2.15 as the Woman

If you read my Twilight Zone post from yesterday, you know this one is an all-time fave of mine. Moorehead still has loads of witchy energy in this episode, albeit a very different, unglamorous kind of witchy.

Elizabeth Montgomery (Samantha Stephens)

in Two 3.01 as the Woman (but y’know a different one from Agnes…)

Montgomery and Charles Bronson play two lone soldiers on opposite sides of a war that has ended in apocalypse. The story works through what happens to those soldiers when there’s little more to fight over. It’s a very Rod Serling concept though I’m lukewarm on the resolution. Now, Inger Stevens is great in The Lateness of the Hour, but I always wonder about how great Montgomery would have been in the role.

David White (Larry Tate)

in I Sing the Body Electric 3.35 as George Rogers

I also covered this episode in yesterday’s post. White’s character in I Sing couldn’t be further from the selfish and obtrusive Larry Tate and it’s fun to see him as a sympathetic single dad trying to do what’s best for his kids.

Small Roles: Sandra Gould (Gladys Kravitz #2) in Cavender is Coming 3.36 & What’s in the Box 5.24, Alice Pearce (Gladys Kravitz #1) in Static 2.20.

Honorable Mention goes to Maurice Evans (Maurice) in Planet of the Apes (1968) as Dr. Zaius because Rod Serling wrote the screenplay.

Star Trek (1966-1969)

Star Trek and The Twilight Zone have a ton of cast in common, especially when you include guest spots. Half of the Enterprise’s bridge crew appeared on The Twilight Zone and even their engineer. Unlike with the Bewitched stars, the Star Trek actors have a spotty record on Twilight Zone. Both of Shatner’s episodes are true classics, but Nimoy and Takei are in some troubling territory.

Twilight Zone writers George Clayton Johnson and Richard Matheson also wrote episodes of Star Trek, respectively The Man Trap and The Enemy Within.

William Shatner (James T. Kirk)

In Nick of Time 2.07 as Don Carter and Nightmare at 20,000 Feet 5.03 as Bob Wilson

Bit of Trivia: When Richard Matheson wrote Nightmare, knowing Shatner would likely star, he wanted to make Bob Wilson Don Carter following his inevitable nervous breakdown after Nick of Time. When Patty Breslin was unavailable for Nightmare, the plan was scrapped.

Leonard Nimoy (Spock)

in A Quality of Mercy 3.15 as Hansen

A jingoistic WWII soldier (Dean Stockwell) is all-too eager to kill and it takes a Freaky Friday situation for him to learn a lesson about mercy. Nimoy’s role is a small one here, but maybe that’s a good thing.

James Doohan (Scotty)

in Valley of the Shadow 4.03 as a Father

A reporter takes a wrong turn roundabout Albuquerque and finds himself in a town with a secret. He makes the mistake of asking questions after Doohan’s daughter disappears his dog and things get messy from there. Valley of the Shadow is one of the best episodes from this season of drawn-out stories and it often feels like a Star Trek plot.

George Takei (Sulu)

in The Encounter 5.31 as Arthur Takamori

Just don’t.

Small Roles (too many to mention): Susan Oliver (Vina from Star Trek’s pilot) in People Are Alike All Over 1.25, Arlene Martel (T’Pring) in Twenty-Two 2.17 and What You Need 1.12.

Batman (1966-1968)

We never had the pleasure of the caped crusader himself on The Twilight Zone, but we do have two of his greatest nemeses and his butler.

Burgess Meredith (The Penguin)

in Time Enough at Last 1.08 as Henry Bemis and in Mr. Dingle, the Strong 2.19 as Mr. Dingle and in The Obsolete Man 2.29 as Romney Wordsworth and in Printer’s Devil 4.09 as Mr. Smith

Burgess Meredith is tied with Jack Klugman for most starring spots on The Twilight Zone; Meredith’s episodes hew more toward the humorous though. Printer’s Devil is probably the least seen of Meredith’s appearances and that’s a shame. He’s got a cigarillo-chomping menace that builds steadily throughout the story.

Julie Newmar (Catwoman)

in Of Late I Think of Cliffordville 4.14 as Miss Devlin

A bored robber baron cuts a deal with the devil (Newmar) to go back in time to his hometown so he can change a thing or two about his past. Unfortunately for him, even non-traditional Faustian bargains have their pitfalls. Newmar is spectacular as the sly and charming “travel agent.” You can definitely see some roots of what Newmar would later put into her portrayal of Catwoman.

Alan Napier (Alfred)

in Passage on the Lady Anne 4.17 as Capt. Protheroe

A young couple books passage on the wrong ship according to all the strange elderly people on the ship. Passage is a spooky concept that’s just too drawn out. This would have made a very memorable 30-minute episode though.

Small Roles: Stafford Repp (Chief O’Hara) in Nick of Time 2.07 and in The Grave 3.07 and in Caesar and Me 5.28.

Many many one-time special guest villains also appeared!

These are just a few fun shows that followed The Twilight Zone and have more than a smattering of cast and crew in common. It’s the tip of the iceberg, really. The Beverly Hillbillies also had a ton of crossover performers, but since the Clampetts aren’t psychics or villains, the connections aren’t quite as fun to make!

I don’t think so anyway...

Fans Of The Old Roseanne Need To Read This…

how I looked younger without plastic surgery

We've seen a lot of think pieces about Roseanne being canceled.

But this is more of a feel piece.

Related: Roseanne Cancels Interview, Goes 'Radio Silent'

After teasing earlier in the week he had something to say about her and Donald Trump, Roseanne's old friend Michael Moore posted to his Facebook a thoughtful, empathetic take.

See what he says about her past and present issues -- and how Trump is taking advantage of a lot more people than just her (below):

I have known Roseanne Barr for over 25 years. I've known her as Roseanne Barr, Roseanne Arnold, just "Roseanne", then back to Roseanne Barr. I've spent time in her home, criss-crossed the country with her to help remove George W. Bush from the White House, appeared on her shows, been there for her when she needed something, and connected her with one of my producers who did an insightful, one-of-a-kind documentary into the genius and the tragedy that is Roseanne Barr.

On Tuesday Roseanne posted hateful, slanderous tweets directed at four people: George Soros, Valerie Jarrett, Chelsea Clinton and me. A few hours later, she was fired by ABC.

For the past few years, Roseanne has been posting the craziest stuff on Twitter, like claiming Hillary was part of a child sex abuse ring being run out of a DC pizza place. She's claimed that the Clintons have murdered people. And anyone who criticizes Benjamin Netanyahu is a "nazi."

Roseanne seems to be suffering from some sort of madness. It's more than just saying she's a racist. She operates in the same sewer of lies, conspiracy theories and bigotry that's been rising in America for years and that has now succeeded in electing our current president. Totally nuts.

Here's who's not crazy: Donald J. Trump.

Trump, though he shows all the signs of being absolutely bonkers, is not insane. He's the real deal. His racism and hate is real, it's well thought-out, he's the true master of manipulation, a brilliant performance artist, and an evil genius. He outsmarted a nation of liberals and Democrats and won the White House by losing the actual vote of the people. He neutered and then destroyed the Grand Old Republican Party. He knows exactly what he is doing.

Roseanne, on the other hand, is a person who long ago broke through and brought an authentic voice of working women and men to television via one of the greatest TV series of all time. It was groundbreaking because the TV industry had historically either ignored, ridiculed or patronized those of us who grew up in the working class. Roseanne changed that.

But she is also a damaged soul. Most people don't know that she has suffered her entire life from a massive head injury she received during a serious car accident when she was a child. Her brain injuries were immense and she spent months in the hospital struggling to recover.

I also have no idea what it was like to grow up, as she did, as a Jewish girl in Salt Lake City. Not a tolerant state, to be sure. She told me how her parents, who owned an apartment building, were asked by the U.S. government after World War II if they would be willing to house Holocaust survivors who had come to the U.S. as refugees. Her parents took dozens in, and Roseanne's childhood was spent with these survivors as her "family." "The stories they told me," she said, "were filled with unimaginable horror. I've always wondered what effect that had on me as a little girl."

Now, sadly, for the past few years, Roseanne has been in a downward spiral, ranting like crazy on Twitter, spreading conspiracy theories, attacking the people she used to love, supporting Trump, and being just an outright hateful and racist person. It has been a difficult decline to witness. She has repeatedly attacked me, and on Tuesday, after calling George Soros a "Nazi" (he's a Jew and a Holocaust survivor), Valerie Jarrett an offspring "of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes," and saying that Chelsea was "married to" a Nazi relative of George Soros, she then retweeted a disgusting new word for me because I have spoken out against the Netanyahu government and its killing of Palestinians -- "#JewHater". Nonstop insanity and sickness.

I guess there might be 20 million Americans (out of 320 million) who probably agree with her. She has thrown down with the lowest of the low, and who knows if she'll ever recover from this descent into her own personal hell.

To close, I want to say just how great the new Roseanne show was. It was funny but brutal to watch because it showed how our system of greed has hurt millions of families like the Connors of Illinois. On the final episode last week, Roseanne was addicted to opioids because she couldn't afford the knee surgery she needed, so she suffered along in agonizing pain. Dan, her husband, in order to raise money for her surgery, decided to take a non-union job -- and Roseanne berates him for doing so and letting his union brothers and sisters down. There are a couple quick knocks on Trump, making it clear that the real Roseanne was not writing or running this show. For the past 9 weeks, the new Roseanne show has shined a powerful and necessary light on what it means to be working class in 2018. Her blended family on this new series was white and black and LGBTQ, and her generous neighbors next door were Muslims who forced her to confront her own bigotry.

If only her art could have helped her in her real life.

(Also, let me say this: There's no reason the show has to go just because she's gone. Over the years, TV has found ways to bring Bobby Ewing back from the dead on "Dallas", forced us to accept the two Darrins on "Bewitched", and found ways for hit shows to survive when their stars bolted after a year or two [David Caruso on "NYPD Blue", Pernell Roberts on "Bonanza"]. The smart people who were writing this Roseanne series can surely find a way to let the non-bigoted portion of the America's working class [which I can tell you is the VAST majority] have their voice heard on network television. Why should it be silenced by one lost soul?)

Wow. What do YOU think of this take?

you might even get Kim Kardashian's or Paris Hilton's...
