Shows like the Beat Club, Top of the Pops, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, etc., variety shows, and talk shows are places where its almost natural for rock acts to make an appearance. Someone shared a link via social media yesterday, however, that made me think about instances where bands have appeared and played (or lip synced) on episodic TV shows like sitcoms, cop/action shows, etc. Shows like The Monkees, where the band is the focal point, or shows like The Young Ones, which had a musical guest each week, are obvious examples, but what about other shows that didn't necessarily feature a musical act from week to week? Here's the original link...

Kinda surreal seeing Neil Young appear briefly on an episode of Mannix as a member of Buffalo Springfield.
Anyone else have fond (or not so fond) memories of seeing a band perform as a guest on an episodic TV show?
