“””Why do celebrities always die in 3’s?”””

It’s often more than that because there are so many celebrities in all age groups. Hollywood & TV have been entertaining us for several decades.

Tom Bosley the folksy father of Richie Cunningham on the '70s sitcom about the '50s

Toward the end of that show's run they'd seemingly stopped even pretending that the show was set in the '50s - I remember the dad character wearing tinted '70s sunglasses and loud '70s clothing. Unintentionally funny.
