Bronn Stone Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 4 hours ago, drawkcabi said: You know, I loved both Linville and Stiers. There was no liking Frank more than Charles or vice versa. They were their own unique characters, each one adding to the goodness and richness of the series. I liked that Frank was "Ferret Face" and really had nothing redeeming about him while Charles was obnoxious, and elitist to the point of being bigoted but had a kindness and empathy in him as well. Also that he could hold his own with Hawkeye and B.J. I was very glad they took Charles in a totally different direction than Frank Burns. But at that point M*A*S*H had gotten pretty sappy. Ogden Stiers did a great job with that character. I wish they'd given him just a bit more rage about being stuck in Korea, but that wasn't where the writers were at that point. The thing that strikes me most is that Larry Linville was perhaps the most popular man in the cast to his colleagues. I'd love to sit and hear those who are still alive tell Larry Linville stories. Sadly, Gary Burghoff - who played the adorable Radar - was apparently as big a jerk as you could find. Sometime in the summer of 1975, Charles Nelson Reilly took an extended leave from the CBS hit game show Match Game. The network got Gary Burghoff to sit in his slot. Holy crap, what a sh** storm that was. If you see it in reruns today, you can see how the cast can BARELY stand the obnoxious twit and if you can pay attention to how much time he seems to try to hog attention during other performer's turns, you can start to guess why.

Teng Ai Hui Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I just today heard that comedian and activist Barry Crimmins passed away last week. If you don’t know who that is, I hope you will watch the documentary about his life titled Call Me Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Ken Dodd has died at the age of 90. Whilst I can't say he was my cup of tea, I saw him once a couple of years ago, his influence on British Comedy, has been pretty significant.

RedEyedGhost Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Dude lived a hell of a lot longer than expected. It's terrible when we as a species lose a mind like his, but we were lucky to have him as long as we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbunting Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Yep, just read an article about his passing and only thing i really noticed is Big Bang Theory was left out of it. They mentioned him on The Simpsons and I think South Park(?) but not Big Bang. He was on it at least 3-4 times and was always good for a laugh. Loved it when Sheldon was playing words with friends with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Great tribute to the effect Hawking had on pop-culture. If you haven't seen his epic takedown of John Oliver on Last Week Tonight, I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tiger Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Rest in peace, you beautiful bastard. Managed to have several affairs while in a wheelchair, all while solving scientific mysteries of the universe. You, sir, are my hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really aren't limits to what humans can do. And it's wonderful to think a man who thought he'd die before turning 25 instead died of old age.

His use of ensemble casts and long story arcs was revolutionary and utterly compelling. He was one of the greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Hill Street was on originally I was too young to appreciate though, now it's on Hulu and I'm getting into it. But when L.A. Law started, I was just starting middle school and all the "cool" kids were ones that watched that show, so I started too and fell in love with it.
