Ever see a couple actors from different shows appear on a new one together? It's like watching a family reunion. When it's intentional, like The Love Boat or Fantasy Island, it can be enjoyable, but when it's coincidental, it's magic.Set aside for a moment everything you know about personalities off the set. In fact, forget that these people have any life outside the small screen at all (which is after all the goal of most TV).
What you have is thousands of little worlds, which otherwise stand alone but on this occasion overlap for a brief time.
As it happens, four guest stars from Star Trek The Original Series all appeared in a 1963 episode of Route 66, "and make thunder his tribute." (Route 66 put the opening show title in lower case, common today but avant-garde for its time.)

Pollard is incredible. I remember him from so many roles, including Andy Griffith and Steve Martin's Roxanne. He often is the most enjoyable thing on the screen.
