Shore was in her 60s during that talk show she had, where she passed herself off as early 40s. Doris is at least actually IN her 40s in this show. Have to admit I'm shocked that Denver Pyle was, too. <br /><br />And Ivan, one of these days you're going to have to tell everyone the "G" stands for "Godzilla."<br /><br />Carl Byrd was a redshirt in the ST:TOS episode "By Any Other Name," which is where I remember him from, though I know I've seen him in plenty of stuff. Definitely a familiar childhood TV face to me.<br /><br />This one did not seem too bad. Am I naive?
