Tom Lester played Almanzo Wilder's dad in a flashback segment on Little House on the Prairie in the Christmas episode from December 1981.

Alvy Moore played one of the mayors brought in to watch the expected takeover of Walnut Grove in the February 1984 tv movie "Little House - The Last Farewell".

Frank Cady played a judge who was kidnapped in an episode of Hawaii Five-O.

I might mention that Eddie Albert was excellent in the films The Heartbreak Kid (with Cybill Shepherd and Charles Grodin) and The Borrowers following the end of GA.

Eva Gabor did the voices for a couple of disney characters such as Dutchess in The Aristocats and Miss Bianca in The Rescuers

Eddie Albert played the warden in the Burt Reynolds movie "THE LONGEST YARD". He was also in an episode of the 1980s revival of "THE TWILIGHT ZONE".
Mary Grace Canfield had a small role in the Roger Korman movie "THE ST. VALENTINES DAY MASSACRE".

Eddie Albert, Sid Melton, and Pat Butram were in a stupid "GREEN ACRES" retrospective special on Nick at Nite somtime in the early 90s.

Then of course, they all revised their roles (with the exeption of the actors who played Mr. and Mrs. Ziffle) in that HORRIBLE "RETURN TO GREEN ACRES" TV-movie in 1993.

The "stupid retrospective" aired in late 1989 and also featured Eva Gabor. The upcoming reunion was announced at the end.

I recall Mary Grace Canfield in an episode of Tabitha, Alvy Moore in one of the very last Waltons in 1981. Didn't see Alvy on anything again until Hardcastle and McCormick around '86. Eva Gabor made a pilot for a sitcom in 1978 in which she played an angel. Eddie did many, many things including guest shots on everything from Kung Fu (with son Edward) to Simon & Simon. He also appeared as the President in the movie 'Dreamscape' and turned up on Falcon Crest toward the end of that show's run. Sid Melton appeared in Golden Girls flashbacks a couple of times as Sophia's husband. Frank Cady played a Mr. Drucker-like storekeeper in a series of ads for Fit and Trim dog food ca. the late 70s. Around this time I saw him in an ABC After School Special as well. Tom Lester played a crook in the movie 'Benji' opposite Petticoat Junction costar Higgins. Pat Buttram lent his voice talent to the Disney animated version of 'Robin Hood' and was later one of the comedians Johnny Carson offed in the Bob Hope special 'Joys'. Am I forgetting anybody? Fran Ryan stayed busy for most of the rest of her life, appearing in lots of commercials, most memorably for Hungry Jack and was in the regular cast of No Soap, Radio.

Pat Buttram also lent his voice talent in the animated movie "The Rescuers" along with Eva.
