Seen while flipping channels: Tom Fitzsimmons and George Petrie, as doctors, young and old, in the One Day at a Time episode “Julie’s Operation” (February 8, 1977). Familiar faces in new arrangements: one of the pleasures of television. See also these arrangements.

If the names don’t ring bells: Tom Fitzsimmons played “Ford,” Franklin Ford III, through all four seasons of The Paper Chase. George Petrie had countless film and television roles, but I know him from The Honeymooners, where he played a bankrobber, a janitor, a magazine editor, a psychiatrist, a fellow Raccoon, and busdriver Freddie Muller.
