... This week there have been waves of online sympathy over the passing of actor Leslie Nielsen prompting many to quote their favourite and most memorable lines from films such as Airplane! and The Naked Gun.

The only trouble is Nielsen actually died in November 2010 aged 84 ...

I was also seeing RIP Bob Denver (Gilligan)...Denver passed in 2005.

I think you just described (accurately) news talking heads!

I think the two girls are the only ones left from Gilligan.

Mary Ann was one of those rare girls who almost have too much of the right stuff.

Shirley you jest! The late and ever early Leslie Nielsen. He made me laugh allot. Nuff said.

If you love Naked Gun/Police Squad-—you really need to check out “Angie Tribeca” on TBS. It’s bringing the humor back, and I love it!

I used to run into LN a lot at the Mirabelle cafe in w La. Very nice gracious man.

[TBP]

Because he had nothing better to do?

[TBP]

He’s getting good at it. A couple more times, he’ll have it down.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead

Just like Chevy Chase's career.

I had seen Leslie on many TV shows in the 60s usually
as a bad guy on cop shows. It surprised me to read in a
TV Guide article at the time that he wanted to do comedy.
I’m glad he got his chance and he was quite funny.

[BBell]

Did anyone ever think he was funny? He was in some funny movies but the movies were funny, not him.

[dfwgator]

Not me. I didn’t appreciate him picking on Ford like he did. Funny how Hillary trips on airplanes like Ford did, but you’d never see SNL make fun of her about it.

"Not me. I didn’t appreciate him picking on Ford like he did. Funny how Hillary trips on airplanes like Ford did, but you’d never see SNL make fun of her about it."

That's because she's drunker than a lord when she does it and the media types do the same thing.

“He played a straight guy for most of his career.”

He played a straight guy in the Naked Gun movies, too.

Remember the protective measures he took before he picked up the soap in the prison shower?

Yet Yoko Ono lives.

So does Justin Bieber.

Angie Tribeca began on TBS last week. An imitation of Police Squad!

[wally_bert]

He played a convincing villain in a few TV shows as a guest star as well.
