Chad Everett, who starred in the 1970s TV drama "Medical Center," has died. He was 75. Everett's daughter told the Associated Press that he died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles after a year-and-a-half-long battle with lung cancer. Perhaps best known for his role as surgeon Dr. Joe Gannon, the actor was twice nominated for a Golden Globe for his perfomances on "Medical Center." The series ran seven seasons and, at the time, tied with "Marcus Welby, M.D." for longest-running medical drama.

More than a few ‘oldies’ left quietly the past couple of weeks. God speed/rest to them all. ;/)/ sigh
RIP Chad Everett.
George Jefferson? I didn’t know. Haven’t been able to Freep for a while.
I guess he moved on up. :) May he rest in peace.
How did you miss this one?
and btw, RIP Chad Everett. Pretty amazing to see such a long-lasting Hollywood marriage.
RIP.
On the news last evening, they said that Helmsley was a post office employee who decided to take acting lessons. I’d say that was a good decision.
Thanks for the good, clean entertainment that both these men gave us in the Good Ol’ Days of family TV. Three generations used to enjoy watching the same shows, and with only three networks, found it difficult to choose which good show to watch on a given night. Now we have a couple hundred channels, and we often decide to turn the TV off because there is nothing worth watching.
I would have laughed in his face. Referring to one’s spouse as “property” is quite funny. (Because it’s so absurd)

Oh, please. He probably said it to irk Tomlin, whose looks pretty much prevented HER from being any man’s property.
Besides, my husband lovingly tells me I belong to him. What’s wrong with that? I do. We belong to each other.
Zsa Zsa Gabor, Phyllis Diller, Eli Wallach, and Kirk Douglas are still alive (so far as I know), but for how much longer?
“... whose looks pretty much prevented HER from being any man’s property.”
Hoo boy. Thanks for the laugh.
Seems like bits and pieces of my growing up years are passing away every day. Sigh.
I know I watch a lot of tv when I saw that Chad Everett died and then I immediately say he played “Dr. Gannon” on Medical Center.
It seems like ages ago watching that show.
there’s an MST3k line that goes “tiny Medical Center starring tiny Chad Everett” I think from Devil Fish.
