Lot of memories watching TPiR when I was younger, whether I was out of school as a kid or out of work sick as a man. I had an uncle that was a contestant on there in 1980. He guessed the price of a new Pontiac LeMans I believe. I don't know how long he kept it.
I thought Bob was funny on Happy Gilmore.
RIP Mr Barker.

Another legend lost, his animal rights stuff was a little much, but he did more good than bad..
Sad day last year when Alex Trebek passed away too.

Someone on the platform formerly known as twitter noted that he managed to live almost as close to 100 as possible without going over.

We were talking about this at our draft party yesterday, and someone asked who is now the oldest living celebrity/movie star/tv personality. As of right now (today) it's Norman Lear (to speak of celebrities we all may have heard of). I cannot count how many shows I watched as a kid where he was the producer. He's 101. Dick Van Dyke also came up in the conversation, he's 97. I'm old.

The guy from Diagnosis Murder is 97? Whoa!
Or, as people my age like to say, 'the guy from the Dick Van Dyke Show, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Mary Poppins is 97????' Again, I'm old.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Mary Poppins.
Haven't watched the other two.

Yeah, and his kid brother, the guy from My Mother the Car, has been dead for five years.

Van Dyke was also on an episode of Scrubs. Kind of interesting that they got him and then had him play a doctor that was stuck in the past and didn't keep up with new procedures. At least he was likable.

Oh Quincy the basset, and Doubber.
The pilot for Coach made it seem like it was going to have some really serious moments with Craig trying to redeem himself to his daughter after being an absent father. That didn't really last long.
