Don Knotts was funny throughout his long career. We lost one of the good ones.

I saw last night Don Knotts past way Sat age 81.
I don't know about Darren McGavin past way .

Xerxes,
Please put me on your "Don't Like List" as it appears that those you do like are croaking in record numbers of late. Not that I'm against croaking myself it’s just that I have unfinished business yet in this life.

I thank you in advance for your full and utter cooperation regarding this subject.


Peace, Skank

Yes, the list is growing at an ever faster rate. But that tends to happen when you hit your 40's.......all the grown-ups you remember from childhood are now geriactrics and are kicking the bucket left and right.

I think most of my favorite actors and comedians are gone now.....some have been gone quite awhile:

John Wayne
Charles Bronson
Laurel and Hardy
James Stewart
Henry Fonda
Sam Kinnison
Sir Basil Rathbone
All of the Stooges
The Marx Brothers
Abbott and Costello
Richard Pryor
Richard Jordan
James Doohan
Deforest Kelly
Chief Dan George
Sir Alec Guiness
Peter Sellers
Chris Farley
Andy Kaufman
James Coburn
Benny Hill
Lee Marvin
Steve McQueen
Gregory Peck
Vincent Price
Anthony Quinn
Don Knotts
Darren McGavin
and I'm sure there's many more I haven't thought of.

BTW Fluffy, I hate your Guts.
Feel better?

Charles Bronson and all of stooges are dead? Bummer. You sure named a lot of good ones. Sam K is one of my all time favs. I hate it when they die in car wrecks or planes.

There was more than three.
Moe
Larry
Curley
Shemp
Joe #1
Joe #2

Curley was the first to go from a stroke. Then Shemp (Moe & Curley's real-life brother) had a massive heart attack. They both passed on in the 50's. Larry had a stroke and Moe died from cancer in '75. The two Joes were the only ones who made it into their 80's, one dying in '88, the other in '93.

Curley could always make me laugh and Shemp was almost as good.

Here's where to find just about anything you could want to do with them:

This year's oscar tribute to 'who died' is gonna read like a checkoff list for me:

Darren McGavin
Don Knotts
James Doohan
Richard Pryor

Who's next..............

Dennis Weaver

Dennis Weaver is next....died from cancer at 81. I kinda remember McCloud but I remember him best as one of Matt Dillon's deputies from Gunsmoke re-runs.
