    I can't get enough of these! Thanks for posting this!
    Those V-12 engines are a sight to behold. In the episode, "the City on the Edge Of Forever," you will notice that the exteriors are filmed on the same set as "The Andy Griffith Show." As Kirk and "Edith Keeler" (33-year-old Joan Collins) are walking down the street, they pass a darkened store front with "Floyd's Barber Shop" clearly visible on the window.
    In "Assignment Earth," Oscar-nominated Teri Garr was 23 years old. She passed away yesterday (10/29/24) at the age of 79.

      To nitpick your nitpick… the “cat” could have been the humanoid alien spoken about, since she transformed to a girl humanoid during the show. Maybe the narrator just left out the word, AND…
