Episode 10: The Collage sing. The Checkmates are back again, they perform. Don Rickles is the main attraction. Cosby wanders about, sitting in with the band playing the bongos. Shecky Greene does some comedy bits. Attorney Melvin Belli talks. Not the most memorable of shows.

Episode 12: The first 12 minutes of the show are given over to a hypnotist. Yawn. John Hartford performs. The hippie vibe is strong in this one. Hef is trying hard to be hip. Gore Vidal joins Hugh in the library for a stimulating conversation. Well, not really. Three Dog Night does a couple tunes. Unfortunately, this is before they became a hit machine and the tunes are rather forgettable. There are a few more songs, a few more jokes and the show mercifully comes to a close.

Episode 17: Jack Carter and Soupy Sales joke around. Three Dog Night perform Celebrity Ball with an invisible band. Man, were they good. Not to be outdone, James Brown brings along his invisible band as well. Cosby sits on the edge of the couch. How exciting.

Episode 22: Frankie Randall sings. The Chicago Second City comedy troop performs. Cast members include Valerie Harper and Paul Sand. Pat Morita, yet to graduate to full-time actor, does standup. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band play a lively set. Shelly Berman adds more comedy and Lou Rawls sings magnificently.
