When I was a kid we had All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, and Carol Burnett all on the same night. All Classics. Probably no better line up on a single night in the history of Television.
January 25th, 2017 at 3:37 PM ^
But TV execs referred to that CBS line up as murderers row. Anthing the other networks put on got crap ratings.
All in the Family is still funny.
RIP Carol.

For AITF fans, this cookbook is funny as hell. Each recipe is prefaced with some related comment from Edith. You can't help but read it in her voice, and the humor is true to her character. I think we snagged it at a garage sale. I don't know if the recipes are any good, I just read it for a laugh.

For a nine year old that was a tough call!

When I was a kid we had All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, and Carol Burnett all on the same night.
If memory serves, "The Jefferson's" was also part of that lineup, between All in the Family (8:00pm) and Mary Tyle Moore (9:00pm). What a lineup. Fantastic television.
Then at 11:30 on Channel 50 would be "The Ghoul". Now there was some high-brow television.
January 25th, 2017 at 3:53 PM ^
Of the shows I listed above Bob Newhart is my favorite.
January 26th, 2017 at 11:17 AM ^
in college we loved watching reruns and playing the drinking game Bob..... good times....
January 25th, 2017 at 3:56 PM ^
When you pull a Ghoul reference you know you are old. I had his t-shirt and I think a black light poster.
January 25th, 2017 at 3:59 PM ^
Holy amrap!
Hiya, hiya, hiya!
Pluck your magic twanger, Froggy!

I was in college. Everybody would come over and we'd play the Bob Newhart Drinking Game (everybody has a drink when 'Bob' is said). Then when the Ghoul came on, we all got sufficiently stoned.
January 25th, 2017 at 5:30 PM ^
Id have a cousin or friend spend the night and stay up late to watch The Ghoul.
January 25th, 2017 at 5:32 PM ^
Don't remember the channel, but in Western Michigan on Saturday nights, we also had the Muppet Show, maybe at 7pm?
That line-up really brings back the memories....

This is a celebrity death. Some of the so called celebrity deaths - not so much.
Pretty soon the local paperboy will be a celbrity death with the way social media is going.

Little Frankie Jasperson?? NOOOO!!!!!!

Laura Petrie was the best
January 25th, 2017 at 3:35 PM ^
But I want to know how in the Hell did they manage to get "Little Richie" with a bedroom set-up like they had...
January 25th, 2017 at 4:15 PM ^
Isn't that great - love it.

That is a ... compelling GIF. Wow. :-)
(It reminds me a little of Megan Draper singing Zou Bisou Bisou to Don Draper on his 40th birthday.)
January 25th, 2017 at 3:54 PM ^
She was insanely gorgeous.
January 25th, 2017 at 4:23 PM ^
One of my all time favorite crushes. She was absolute beauty to me.

for posting. She was simply beautiful.
I'd say she was a cross between, say, Donna Reed and Marilyn Monroe. (Pushed boundaries, made her own brand, to call her "easy on the eyes" would be the biggest of understatements--to us guys who grew up watching her on TV...)
But she really was her own person, and she changed that industry for the better--which was her point.
January 26th, 2017 at 1:34 AM ^
she could really rock a sweater back then. And NOBODY looked as sexy in Capri Pants. She was so incredibly hot.
Yes, Laura Petrie was my first intense celebrity crush. Her looks, her voice, her persona, what a perfect combination! I regularly watched reruns of "The Dick VanDyke Show" because of the young Mary Tyler Moore.
RIP, MTM. You are unforgettable.

Just wanted to be the first to somehow blame a calendar year for the death of an octogenarian.
(That aside, she was a great talent who also put a lot of energy to charitable causes. All the best to her family as they go through the loss of someone who - to all appearances - lived a full life.)
[EDIT - Well, I was among the first!]

I remember the days when someone living past 60 with diabetes was considered an accomplishment.

Watch it. And be prepared to hate MTM's character like you've never hated somebody before.
FYI I made the mistake of taking a first date to that movie way back in the day. I remember that because it was a lady I'd been trying forever to go out with and that movie put both of us in a terrible mood afterwards.
Great actress. Sorry to see her go.
January 25th, 2017 at 3:07 PM ^
Do people really not realize that the whole "2016 was the celebrity killer year" thing is only natural? With more and more shows/news/venues to gain celebrity status, there are bound to be more celebrity deaths. 2017 is likely to have more than 2016, just the nature of news and entertainment.
But RIP to her all the same. I am too young to have seen her in her hayday, but I am sure she will be missed by many.
January 25th, 2017 at 3:14 PM ^
They are at that age. A special sadness for me is reserved for the WWII vets leaving us. They are dwindling rapidly. Soon that will be like the WWI generation and known only from the pages of history.
Regardless, RIP Mary Tyler Moore. An icon.

I noticed a vet with a WWII hat on while I was getting coffee a couple of months ago on an Air Force base. He has a Battle of Bulge pin on his cap and not one troop spoke to him. Blew me away.......a walking piece of history. I chatted him up for 15 minutes. Gave he and his wife a hug and thanked him profusely.

Yes, Whole Milk, she touched people on a deep level and was and is truly beloved. From her roles, and interviews and everything about her.

She was a great actress and with class, RIP Mary
