<div style="position:relative; padding-bottom:63%; padding-bottom:-webkit-calc(56.25% + 50px); padding-bottom:calc(56.25% + 50px); height: 0;"> <iframe style="position:absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%;" src="http://www.today.com/offsite/grant-tinker-former-ceo-of-nbc-dies-at-age-90-820789827891" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> I put this in the media section, because people already bitch about grieving the deceased not in their immediate orbit in the main lounge, and he's not a household name and has been out of the public eye for a while. But, if we're in the golden age of TV now, his work in the 70s and 80s was the major reason any of it was worth a shit. Started MTM with former wife Mary Tyler Moore, and was NBC Chairman for pretty much the entirety of their pre-Friends//Seinfeld premiere years. Mary Tyler Moore Bob Newhart Hill Street Blues St. Elsewhere Family Ties Cheers Golden Girls Cosby all helmed or championed by him. |
If I'm not mistaken, he was the man having lunch with Mary at a downtown restaurant during the opening titles of MTM in its later seasons.
