This Is Jim Rockford

 

Jim, it's Beth---you have the vet's number, the flea collar, and extra litter. One thing I forgot: keep him away from other cats. He's not very discriminating.

Jim's answering machine: Chicken Little Is A Little Chicken, 1975.
Ray Danton guest stars.

This one of the most beautifully written episodes of the series. It is also hilarious. Danton is an NYC "urban horticulturist" eliminating things "what don't grow," namely Angel Martin. He also complains to his associate about why he hates west coast pizza. The opening has Angel interrupting Jim and Rocky's chess game with gangster terms detailing why Jim is going to lose the match. 

Hey, Buddy Buddy Buddy!

 

Brak was originally a fictional character and supervillain on the 1966 Hanna-Barbera animated series "Space Ghost," as a catlike alien space pirate trying to conquer the galaxy. He returned to television in 1994 as a cast member on Cartoon Planet's animated show, "Space Ghost Coast to Coast." According to the network, 'Brak was irradiated by Pirranamyte, releasing him from the burden of intelligence.' He was transformed into a simple-minded 7-year-old, hilariously voiced by Andy Merrill. Cartoon Planet released two CDs with the cast from "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" singing a wide variety of funny, ridiculously silly songs. Brak would branch out in 2001 in his own show, "The Brak Show," as an even more childlike character with a diminutive, Spanish-accented father and a "June Cleaver' mother. Though rare, Brak continued to make unannounced appearances on other programs, yet the character is essentially part of history today.
