Really sad when I heard this. MTM show was great, as was the **** Van Dyke show before that. Brings back lots of great memories.

I've heard of dying in threes but it seems they're dying in dozens. Loved them both as a young lad in the 70s.

Guytronic just a quick one for you (also for others liking posts in this thread). They are sad things that people are dead but, you like almost every post. I just cant like any on this thread, as I kind of feel that I would be saying "I like the fact that they are dead"....

Am I looking at this wrong ?

Well since the thanks option is gone.
All I have left is the like button to notify the OP that I have paid attention to the news.

It's more about liking the fact that someone informed you of the celebrity's passing, which you are thankful to know, since you might not have known otherwise, especially in the case of some of the folks being from niches.

Oh wow, for a moment there I thought it was Obama's campaign manager. ADHD in high gear today.

Remember Professor Irwin Corey?
He made it to 102.

Loved his shtick on Ed Sullivan:

Still, when he declared, “If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going,” who could disagree?
