It was Red Buttons on of all places "The Red Buttons Show".

How 'bout;

Is that Capt. Kirk wanting off of that other ship (or was it a shuttlecraft?) before it blows up?

I'm not sure because the mind plays tricks. I sometimes associate it with Kirk in a space suit floating free in space but they couldn't hear him so no matter what my mind tells me it couldn't be that scene.

May we now try.....

"The devil made me do it!"

[Henry J]

Was that one of the guys on Laugh-In?

[brian]

I thought "The Tholian Web" at first, too. (There are so many nick-of-time transports to choose from, lol.) But I think it was from "The Doomsday Machine".

While the individual in mind may have appeared on "Laugh-In" he wasn't a regular. He was known for that quote on his own show.

You're probably correct. While I vividly remember the scene with Kirk I can't get a grip on what went on around that scene. Then again I sometimes remember a scene correctly but appearing in the wrong place in a movie or TV show.

[brian]

I say that because there was a sense of urgency and impending boomage in Doomsday, whereas in Tholian, he was just hanging out waiting his turn.

Re ""The devil made me do it!""

Is that something Flip Wilson said? Did he have his own show? I don't really remember that.

Henry

[Xjmt]

YES!!

Flip Wilson did have his own show which is rebroadcast on TVLand (old TV shows) in segments. One morning I got annoyed with the news so I went to TVLand and caught a half hour each of bits from Carol Burnett and Flip Wilson and laughed the entire hour through.

Could that be the show we discussed starring Dixxie's husband? He played a Marine Corp officer??

[brian]

Air Force.

Stationed at Cape Canaveral, though I think they called it Cape Kennedy in those days.

[Henry J]

Re "Could that be the show we discussed..."

Nope, nothing to do with that.

Not sure why Brian didn't just answer it instead of dropping hints...
