Those are some obscure guys! How about Clark Gable.

Clark Gable was in San Francisco with Spencer Tracy.
Spencer Tracy was in Bad Day at Black Rock with Ernest Borgnine.
Ernest Borgnine was "Mr. White Death" on Magnum P.I.!

How about Lucille Ball?

Lucille Ball played band leader Ricky Ricardo's wife, Lucy Ricardo in the tv show "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" in an episode where they (the Ricardo's) vacationed at a cabin in the woods, Ida Lupino and Howard Duff, playing themselves, reserved the same cabin for the same time slot, each couple initially unaware of the other's presence. As the plot unfolded, they discovered each other and the comedy commenced.

Howard Duff played TM's grandfather in at least two episodes of Magnum PI.


How about a real easy one......Sharon Gless. :magnum:

Next up:
The Smothers Brothers

Trivia: Tom and Dicks father, Major Thomas Smothers was a West Point grad and served with the Philippine Scouts, then survived the Bataan Death March. Transferred to a Japanese Hell Ship to serve as slave labor in Japan, the wounded Smothers later died due to maltreatment and the sadism of his captors. Several buildings such as an armory are named after him.

Among the many, many guest stars appearing on the "The Smother's Brothers Comedy Hour" was Carol Burnett.

Carol Burnett guest starred in two Magnum PI episodes: "Rembrandt's Girl" and "A Girl Named Sue".

That's some pretty heavy trivia concerning the elder Smothers. Nothing else in the world compares to man's inhumanity to man, as far as atrocities go.

A shame his son's didn't get a chance to know him better.

I got scooped while I was slowly hunting and pecking a response. I'll mention any way that Smothers Brothers show featured Pat Paulsen who was in the Sanford and Son episode The Hawaiian Connection which featured David Huddleston, Barbara Rhoades, Danny Kamekona, Moe Keale, Kwan Hi Lim, and Elissa Dulce Hoopai.

Reeve to Jackie Cooper in Superman
Cooper was in an episode of McCloud called The New Mexican Connection which starred Dennis Weaver
Weaver was in the Magnum episode Let Me Hear the Music
