Sunday Stuff

Alejandro Escovedo ("Sister Lost Soul")...



...and with ratcheted-up tensions between this country and Russia, I'm sure we can look forward to "retro" TV programming based on cold war-era shows exactly like this one (this is about 9:52, and boy, did late T.V. character actor Werner Klemperer boss around Leonard Nimoy here; of course, Nimoy and William Shatner - who also appears, credited, of course - would have the last laugh with little space show of theirs produced by Desilu a few years later...also, as long as I'm talking about Klemperer of Commandant Klink fame on "Hogan's Heroes," I should note that he and his family were German Jews who fled Nazi persecution, and he once told the producers of the '60s sitcom that if Klink even outsmarted Hogan in an episode, he would quit the series - he won Emmys as Klink in 1968 and 1969).
