Loved the show. Loved Col. Potter. Sad news. Glad he had a good long life.

Mike Farrell isn't too far behind either. Wayne Rogers on the other hand is a very intelligent guy.


...and can be seen on Fox News almost every Sat. morning @ 10:30.

Good trivia.

Here's another irony:

Harry Potter ended in 2011. Harry Morgan aka Colonel Potter expired in 2011.

DEEP, no?!

This is still existentially freaking me out.

I think some of the characters that had to come in as replacements were judged more harshly. Honeycutt, Potter, Winchester were all filling big shoes. They all did a wonderful job, which is why M*A*S*H was a special show.

TV now has nothing that can come close. Reality TV is total crap, and few comedy shows have the writing chops.

In an episode of Happy Days Mr. & Mrs. Cunningham had returned from the movies having watched "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." She was marveling at how Richie looked like the kid in that movie when he was little. I thought that was funny.

I love that kind of stuff.

Back in the 1970s, Barney Miller and Taxi were back to back in the lineup. Near the end of one of the episodes of Barney Miller, a group was watching TV when someone else arrived. Dietrich said, "Sit down and watch. Taxi's on in five minutes." I found that exceedingly clever and mind-bending.

Laverne AND Shirley were on Happy Days. They played dates for Ritchie and Fonzie.

The end of the second Bob Newhart show was the ultimate in mind bending cross-platform show bending.

On a different note, I wonder who the most famous unseen television character is. Jenny Piccolo? Bob Saccamano? Carlton the Doorman? Vera Peterson? Maris Crane? This may be worth a poll.

Yeah, definitely the best series ending ever, and one of the top TV moments ever. If not the very top. It came totally out of the blue.

We got to see Carlton, but only after he had shape shifted into a new form and changed his name.

Have you seen the snippets of the cast of Cougartown using their hiatus to pop up in the background of a bunch of shows. They're kind of great.

Ironically, someone created this for you just over a week ago.

I don't even know what Cougartown is, to be honest. So background cameos may be lost on me. Sounds like a good concept, though.

Interesting, but George Steinbrenner at #2? He was a bit player for a small part of the series. No way.

Stan of Will & Grace was a good one, and Charlie is a good choice high on the list, too.
