I would suggest fans of the show start w/ Jim Nabors one which introduces gofer Scooter, nephew of the theatre owner. The head writer starred on the Andy Griffith show in several episodes with #Gomer who is uncredited in the security guard sketch

Jack #Burns was once comedic partner w/ Carlin during the straight years. Deputy of Mayberry after Barney left. Later part of comic duo Burns & #Schreiber

Avery Schreibers visit is almost as funny

Peter Ustinov has a really punny bit 10 minutes in

Rita Morenos Emmy winning version of Fever with Animal is a season highpoint.

Vincent Prices appearance must be the one Bill #Hader based his homage on

Paul Williams is worth seeing if only because of his involvement in the music of the nascent #MuppetMovie released the next summer

Mummenschanz was like a pantomime Blue Man Group demonstrating their own form of puppetry

There was one other notable first season guest I intend to discuss in my next reply which has something to do Bob #Newhart

I watched the first episode of #Newhart which is a show I haven't seen since I was a little kid watching reruns with my dad on Nick at Nite or TV Land or whatever. I laughed out a loud a few times which doesn't often happen when I'm just watching stuff alone, will probably continue watching more episodes in the future.

Brilliant!

The ‘Newhart’ Finale Was One of Bob Newhart’s Boldest TV Moments
The finale has become so famous in part because it offered a rare moment of real surprise from a taped prime-time television sitcom
