I was gonna mention Boyce and Hart and Spector on "I dream of Jeannie" but someone did.

OK, how about Nilsson on "The ghost and Mrs Muir" then.

Did the Meat Puppets appear on the remake Munsters series? Or does this not count since series otherwise dire?

Tiny Tim sang in a little folk club on an early Ironside. I can't find it on youtube but did find this amazing Ed Sullivan appearance, with Tim backed by "all-girl rock group" The Enchanted Forest:

Supposedly, the Quincy punk band (Mayhem) were based on Fear, but it was a fake band.

Just read about some Paul Revere (RIP) appearance on some TV show, can't remember what though.

Does anybody (wish they could not) remember a TV comedy called "Throb", set in the offices of a record label? (The throb record label had a logo of a heart so stop that!)..

One episode had a 'punk' theme, where the three band members were all sulky and snotty and not nice, but when it came to the gig, one of the band members was all nice and rocky and the other two all rubbish. Clearly the two were actors and the rocky one was a bona fide star guest.

At the end the record label guy was all "yeah, I guess the kids go for it, I'm more a CSN&Y guy myself"

( I think Sammy Hagar was involved somehow)

(Like I don't actually know it was him, like)

John Mellencamp getting the name Cougar because he looked at the back end of a shitty 70s car!

this SCTV sketch was a parody of Jerry Lewis' Nutty Professor

I had nearly purged that show out of my head completely. Here's the wedding episode with guests Donny Osmond and James Brown dubbed into German. Go to hell.
