It's funny, I've been recently going through the old Twilight Zones and have been keeping an eye out for Trek connections. I also noticed the Enterprise bridge sounds in Elegy. Pretty neat. When watching "People are Alike All Over", I found it interesting how, not only was Susan Oliver in a supporting role, but the episode also contained the "human zoo" theme of The Cage.

Clever catch with the "zoo" coincidence! Had not considered it.

Lucille Ball is a hero!!! She made Star Trek and twilight Zone possible!!

I think you forgot Vic Perrin.. did several voices and played the Halkan leader in Mirror,Mirror... Great video!

YES ! I enjoy these kind of facts that not just those two shows,. Deforest Kelly was in Gun fight at the OK corral, which he played Morgan Earp. And what of Leonard nimoy in Mission impossible. Yes indeed, I very much like watching old Movies and shows, spotting Actors starting out. This was very KooL. Thank you.

While indirect, I've noted to my parents that in To Serve Man, the alien(s) look similar to the Talosians and I'd jokingly ask "Ok, very funny guys, where's Captain Pike?" when it's on.

[@deLimitedProductions]

I guess you were drawn to the head features, because the Talosians were so slight compared to Kanamits. Thanks for sharing!

Frank Overton was also Gig Young's father in "Walking Distance" on TZ. Jon Lormer (Dr. Theodore Haskins from "The Cage" 'Return of the Archons" and "For the World is Hollow...." was in TZ episodes "Execution" and "Dust". I know there's more, but I'm drawing a blank. Lol! Just to mildly break your chops Paul Comi was the ship's navigator not the helmsman. I couldn't resist. Sorry. Lol! Just having fun bro.

I would like to see Star Trek and Hogan's Heros connections

[@JGG1701]

There's also a Trek connection with the Mission Impossible series. A lot of Star Trek actors were seen. Especially Mr. Nimoy. 🙂
