I remember seeing an episode of The Untouchables that had both Gavin MacLeod and Cloris Leachman (Murray and Phyllis from the Mary Tyler Moore Show) in it. They must’ve had the same agent. ---

They must’ve had the same agent. There was also one in which Elizabeth Montgomery and David White (Samantha Stevens and Larry Tate on _ **Bewitched** _) were lovers. I wonder which studio the latter was filmed at? Also Desilu/Paramount? 😕 ---

> [@terentii](#): > > See post #53. Why? It doesn’t say anything to explain how LITB could be considered morphing. Only way that show “morphed” in any way that the term would have meaning would be when it was revived as [Still the/The New Leave it to] Beaver and focused on the Beav’s kids. ANYWHO Prison Break’s Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell reunited to double team the Flash (as Capt. Cold and Heatwave, respectively) on his titular series last week. Heh… titular… heheheh… ---
