Got an interminable 25 minutes? 😛

They’re all here, (well, except for maybe Bert Convy or the unimaginably creepy Henry Silva). Everyone you dearly remembered, and then some - thuggish authoritarian hambone John Larch, Lois Nettleton, the ultra-gross James Gregory (nope, not the hack stand-up)…  
Don’t worry - yours is here.  
Did other shit while this was playing, but was quite often going “oh - _him/her_”, and googled them.

(Kinda my theme song, this.)

I couldn’t stand listening to the theme song loop after the first five minutes so I bailed out and checked the guest stars on IMDB.

Where, I ask you, is all purpose guest star [Ronny Cox](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001074/?ref_=fn_al_nm_4)?

I never thought of James Gregory as just plain gross, never mind ultra-gross.

Definitely a combination of the roles he played and that ubiquitous, leering mug - nothing aganst him personally.🙂

Reminds me of my favorite George Carlin line:

_You ever look at crowds in old movies and wonder if they’re dead yet?_ :dubious:

I once knew a guy named Archie Armstrong—believe it or not!
