Of throat cancer, at just 61. That's sad. I especially enjoyed his work in Stephen King's The Stand. RIP

I had just watched the most recent episode of NCIS LA where he got stabbed a couple of times and was in critical condition. I couldn't help but think how bad he looked. I didn't realize he was sick though so his death caught me totally off guard. This has been the first season where I have only sporadically watched this show, so I hadn't realized that they had implied that he was sick within the show too.

Yeah, one of the drum gods. Hugely influential, and helped construct five of my all time favourite albums. Don't know where Can would've been without him. RIP

That's a big big loss.
I hadn't seen him in a while but my impression was that he was basically not ageing and could treat us to still progressing and progressive music well into his eighties (despite his giant catalogue of solo and collaborative work not being listed on PA). How wrong I was. |

Brilliant drummer....This one hurts.
But the music lives on. I'm gonna have to buy more copies as I will probably wear my Can records down to a flat black pancake.......RIP Jaki |

Hi David. Don't know about you but I think DVD show is a better show than MTM show. The jokes on MTM seem pretty stale to me now when I watch, whereas DVD, while older, still seems to have more effective humor. What do you think? I guess I'm saying DVD had better comedic writing, more timeless.

It was not my favorite of the '70s classics, more of an Odd Couple and Taxi fan. Van Dyke show funnier? Maybe, but MTM spoke to me more as a child of that strange and dynamic time. To me the comparison would be more with Bob Newhart which has held up about the same.

I find a lot of the 70s stuff I used to think was funny is just stale and canned now, almost obvious set ups for punch lines. 60s stuff can be like that too but much of it seems to be watchable to me now.
I can still do Mash, All in the Family just fine....but stuff like MTM, Jeffersons, Rhoda, Love Boat, Good Times....pretty rough to get through. They make DVD humor, esp when Morey and Rose were involved, seem biting by comparison. |

Yes those were all quite boring even then, almost unwatchable, and I agree in general 60s programming was better. But something about being home on a Saturday night and that lineup topped by Carol Burnett was a lot of fun (though even when I see the Burnett reruns they're highly edited and have lost some magic). I think it was as much about a live communal experience that kids could enjoy with adults when there was little cable and no home-video recording, and then later SNL picked up the slack.
I've been watching Streets of San Francisco lately and loving it, having grown up here and seeing the city as it was then when I was young. |

Yeah we did Burnett too with the folks, great memories!
Oh I bet it is really cool to watch SofSF for you. Total time capsule. Probably same feel in Dallas for those folks. I love even the blips from those shows in the openings and closings. Like Good Times, its amazing to see the Cabrini Green and south side of Chicago in that era |

Yeah those opening shots of Chicago are amazing, so real and grim. Same with Brooklyn in Welcome Back Kotter.

I agree. I watched the DVD show from when I was young (my parents were fans), and assumed I just remembered it fondly because of nostalgia. I saw a few episodes recently and was amazed at how funny they still were.
