You forgot 2 episodes of Isabella Rossellini. I know they were divorced at the time, but I’m sure Jack hit it at her prime.
I have no idea how I forgot Isabella Rossellini, she was one of my all-time favs back in the day.
Also, Emily Mortimer. She has that certain look that I like and she plays annoying well (Newsroom, 30 Rock).
For your troubles:

Yakov
Although he only appeared in 5 episodes, as a kid growing up in the 80's, he was one of my favorites on Night Court

Speaking of Harry Anderson, I think an honorable mention has to go to his 6 appearances as "Harry the Hat" in Cheers.

Robin Williams as Mork on Happy Days.
Lead directly to Mork and Mindy.
That was a backdoor pilot, wasn't it? Same as Laverne and Shirley?

quote:You're right, but the way Gary Marshall described it, Mork was a guest star in response to his kid wanting "Star Wars" on Happy Days, and Laverne & Shirley were just guest stars for an episode when someone on the production staff told him, "Look at those two on camera. That's a show right there."

Out of the Blue was a strange backdoor pilot in that they rushed it to series so fast that the pilot episode on Happy Days aired a week after the first episode of Out of the Blue aired.
